Thank you to all of those who touched my father's life. My dad was loved and known by all and we were all blessed to have him touch our lives. His passing leaves a hole in my heart and he is so very missed. My dad had 3 girls so I was blessed to be his Cervo Jr. I love you, daddy.

It saddened me deeply to hear of Greg's passing. He and I knew each other since childhood and he was a good guy with a great sense of humour.
We had another nickname for "Cervo" shared by just a few close associates and co-workers.We liked to call him, Mr. Jones
Rest in Peace Mr. Jones
