Not sure what to say?

While home from College, Reverend Tweed hired me to be the church secretary for Middle Collegiate Church. I remember spending countless hours talking about life with Reverend Tweed. He use to tell me that he was a direct descendent from Peter Stuyvesant. The one thing that I will always remember is how he taught me temperance. Thanks for believing in a young african american man. God bless.

I just learned of Greg's passing. He was my next door neighbor in Townhouse Isles for many years and I was lucky enough to visit and spend time with him after his move to Santa Fe. I have so many fond memories of him. His sense of humor and laughter will always light up my heart. His Christmas parties always had the most fascinating guests. His eloquence is legendary and I feel blessed to have had him as my friend. My sincerest condolences to his family and Rochester.

I remember Greg from his NYC and Ft. Lauderdale days and miss his great sense of humor and hearty laugh. He enjoyed life and showed it in his art. May his family find peace.

What an amazing life he lead! I will always remember his his laugh!

Greg Tweed was an old and good friend of many years. He was an inspiration.He had a wonderful sense of humor.He was a gentleman and a scholar. Above all he was a wonderful person who always tried to help humanity in any way he could. The world has lost a truly noble human being.I will miss you dearly my friend.

Your presence will be missed, dear Greg.

With kind thoughts of prayer and grace to a spiritual colleague whom I always kept in the contemplative journey of seeking and understanding.
