Not sure what to say?

I am deeply saddened by the tragic passing of my classmate Mike and his wife, Katherine. I was also a member of Preflight Class 29-65 in Pensacola and have many pleasant memories of Mike from those days. He was a great guy who will be missed by all who knew him. I have attached a group photo of the class from our last reunion in 2000. My deepest and heartfelt sympathies to all of Mike and Katherine's family.

I knew Mike briefly during his training at NAS, Pensacola, Fla. during '65 and '66. Quite fun and always smiling. My heart goes out to all the family. You will always have such great memories of Mom and Dad and grandparents. God Bless. Andrea M. Wilson (Mobile, Al)

Class 29-65, Pesacola, FL- Dec/1965

Hello to Mike Greco's extended family & friends: Mike & I were Naval Aviation Cadets in Pensacola, Florida, starting in August of 1965. We were "Class 29-65", and I remember Mike as a cheerful, full-of-life person who always had a smile on his face, no matter the situation. Here's a photo of our class. Mike is back row; second from right. God bless you Mike, and your wife, Kathy: from Harry Chapin; "We'll all be together again!"

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I knew Mike (the Jr.) in high school before he moved and he was a great and fun guy and I'm sure that was a direct result of how well his parents raised him.

My deepest sympathy on your loss. Kathy and I went to high school together and I met Mike just several years ago when I stayed with them over a weekend. What a wonderful time I had renewing my friendship with Kathy and meeting Mike. We found that we had something in common - the love of red wine! I have only seen Kathy once since then on one of her trips back to Cincinnati but I know I will miss her at reunions and other events.

Their many friends from Butler County, Ohio have heard about the terrible news and would like to express our sorrow and support to the family. As each comment in this guestbook shows, these were truly inspirational people, and they helped change lives. They used their caring and their gifts to make this world a better place.

I worked at The Association for Individual Development and had the pleasure to meet Kathy with the last few cases she helped get into the Home-Based Support program. She was a very sweet person and was truly passionate about all those she helped. I was very devastated to hear the news about the passing of her and her husband. My thoughts and prayers are with the Greco family during this very difficult time.

My prayers are with your family. Your faith is strong. May God Bless your family.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I knew your mother who was always very kind and a great advocate for people with disabilities. She will be greatly missed not only by you but those she advocated for at all times. You and your famly are in my prayers.
