Lost my father a yr ago and YESTERDAY just lost my mother

I was RUNNING the car wash when he bought the car wash and were friends instantly i also worked for lloydharbor highway dept where i picked up his garbage twice a week and would see him every MORNING and he always talked to me with RESPECT i will never forget that and how generous he was

My 10 years with Norman Greif were the most defining period of my life. He changed the hearts and minds of everyone he touched and he will be missed always. I loved him like a father and trusted him like a brother and I am so happy I was able to be with him one last time during the reunion.
My deepest condolences to you and the family Tricia.

Kelley, so sorry for your family's loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you ! Love, The O'Briens

I wanted to convey my sincere condolences to the Greif family in their loss of Norman. He was a person that was "bigger than life" and someone I think about often. I worked for him for a short period of time after he purchased my company. I consider him one of the most influential persons in my working career. There are many stories about Norman but I can only relate those that happened to me. I will miss him

Jason, Eric and all,
Very sorry to hear of your loss. I have very fond memories of Norm and the famous Sunday morning brunches at the Greif house. He was an extraordinary character in all our lives and will be missed.
Sincerely,

I thought of Uncle Norman like a Dad. He will be so missed. Norman and Trisha kinda adopted me when I was a teenager for about a year or so. They took me in and treated me as a daughter. I was 16 at the time. Long story of why I was there. But, while I was there he was giving and caring. I learned a lot from my Uncle. He made sure I was on the "right track". I actually worked at Randy for a while. He taught me how to "get things done". He always told me that I need to experience life to the...

Shari and Family
I am truly sorry for your loss. I only knew Norman for a short time and in that time he touched my life. He was a kind, caring person. I enjoyed going to visit him with you. I envision him up in heaven playing cards with his cigar hanging from his mouth. He will be missed, but your great memories will always live on.
love always Amy
