I knew Greg when he was still a teenager, because Ron and I were friends in high school and college, and renewed our friendship about 15 years ago. Greg was the baseball phenom, and I remember that Ron spent a summer with him on the roadGreg the slugger and Ron the team's mascotso that Greg could feel the comfort that comes from family. I've also known that he had a great life providing for HIS family, and I can't imagine anything other than the love they have for him. Sorry for the loss, condolences to you all. What a blessing is Greg Foreman!
