Greg,
You took me under your wing when I was a 21 year old kid working at the CBOT. You treated me like a peer and a friend even though we were a generation apart. You gave me a couch to sleep on when you'd buy me 1 too many drinks at Cere's. You laughed at my stories and I rolled on the floor laughing at yours. You had my back whenever I needed you. After I left the Board 10+ years ago, you made a point to stay in touch and grab lunch whenever I was in the area. You are a great friend...

He was one of the great ones . I really love him and Robin .Robin I’m so sorry I know you lost your sole mate.

Greg was a really smart guy. A lot of people don’t know that. He was also a creative and wonderful artist. Greg would literally do ANYTHING for you! He was kind hearted beyond reason. I think most of us will remember him best for his endless energy, enthusiasm, and most importantly...always choosing to walk on the sunny side of the street. Life dealt him a more difficult hand to play than most of us, but he always took every challenge posed to him in stride. He remained his adventurous, fun...

Greg, you were a big guy who lived an even bigger life-full of love, laughter, kindness and fun. We'll never be able to forget you-you'll live forever in our hearts, our stories and Laura's photoalbum. Love, Lora, J2, Kim and Becky

As I write this, I am feeling so grateful and honored to have been friends with Greg for the past 15 years. I am thinking about all of the funny things Greg has said and done as well as all of the advice he has given me over the years. I truly don’t know where I would be right now if I had not met Greg. He kept saying to me “There is someone I want you to meet. I really think you guys would get along”. Well, Greg was right because Tommy and I have been married for over seven years. I love you...
