Words can not express how much I miss my dear friend. Greg always enjoyed helping all of his friends, and he got great pleasure in doing so. Greg had a Great heart and he lived large enjoying all that life had to offer. He always said why wait? You never know what tomorrow will bring, and he was so right. I am so glad that he did the things that made him happy...summer trips to the beach with his family, bike trips with his friends, buying his Mustang or "Stang " as he called it and the special cruises with his wife Tricia. He was my Angel here on earth and now he's God's Angel...I guess God needed some IT help up there, because we know Greg was the best!! Greg touched a lot of peoples lives including mine and my families, he was like a second dad to my daughter and I can honestly say I am glad he was my friend!! Until we meet again...

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.

Some move our souls to dance.

They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.

Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.

They stay in our lives for a while, leave footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same.

We love you Greg, our friend, our neighbor and our angel.

Like a comet blazing cross the evening sky...Gone Too Soon...

Like a rainbow fading in the twinkling of an eye...Gone Too Soon...

Shiny, sparkly and splendidly bright,
here one day gone one night.

Like the loss of sunlight on a cloudy afternoon...Gone Too Soon...

Like a castle built upon a sandy beach...Gone Too Soon...

Like a perfect flower that is just beyond your reach...Gone Too Soon...

Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight,
here one day gone one night.

Like a sunset dying with the rising of the moon...Gone Too Soon...

I miss you my friend...
