I am so shocked and saddened to hear of Greg's passing. He was taken much, much too young. I knew Greg during our high school years, and enjoyed catching up with him whenever reunions rolled around. Greg had a heart of gold, and I was always moved by his kindness and exuberance. My prayers are with his family and friends there in Phoenix as they move through this difficult time.
