I think about the big easy (Greg) often, our last conversation (texting) about the missed tackle that cost the
Saints going to the NFC championship game. His passing coming several weeks later and a shock as he never let on, he told me not to be so hard on that player, he feels worse than anyone, he's young and should be given another chance, that was Greg, We shared a love of the Saints. Our loss is heavens gain

Dear Kathy and family:
I wish to express my deepest sympathy to you and to your family for the sudden loss of such a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. There are no words I could possibly say to comfort you at this time. I feel honored to have known such a kind, beautiful soul, who, I know, will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to have shared in his life. My prayers are for you and your entire family.
Heaven has gained a new angel.

Ms. Margaret, Stephanie, Marybeth and Robert:
There are no words to express the sadness felt by the loss of Greg. I have known him since grammar school. He was a kind gentle soul, who was a highlight of friendship and many laughs and good times to remember. My sincere condolences to your entire family for the loss of such a wonderful person. With sympathy, Margaret LaVolpicella

Dear Kathy and family
My name is Jo-Anne Griffin, and I was Greg's client service associate at CarData Consultants. I was profoundly sad to learn of Greg's passing. Although Greg and I never met, I have spoken to both Greg and Kathy many times on the phone, and doing so always made my day. Greg's voice exuded kindness, and the love and respect he felt for Kathy was always evident in our conversations. Please accept my sincere condolences, and know that you are in my thoughts.
Most sincerely,
Jo-Anne Griffin

"Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear." I am so grateful for my time with Greg last year, we reminisced about our time together, when the cousins spent summer days at Grandma McCarthy's in Waveland. Good times at the beach, he was full of fun and was as easygoing then as he was when we reconnected last year. I remember waving so long and see you when you finally take that road trip to Lake Tahoe. Stephen and Ashley we didn't meet you but your dad spoke lovingly about you and your kids, Kathy and dear Aunt Margaret we are so very sorry for your loss!

Greg was such a big, sweet man who seemed to have a smile eternally on his face. I already missed seeing him when you all moved, but now I'll never see him smile again. I am so sorry, Kathy, for your loss. He was a terrific fellow.
