Dear Rosemary and Dudek family,
So sorry for your loss. Greg was a true gentleman in every manner. Nicest guy, very loyal and hard-working. Always looking to help someone. I will cherish the memories from years ago with the Arcadi group and the fun we all had. Rest in Peace my dear friend. God Bless. Louis Fumerelle, New York, NY

Sincere condolences to the Dudek family. Greg was truly a gentleman and one of the nicest people I've ever worked with at City Hall. I teased him often about his term in the legislature when I was a "child" and then we were cohorts at City Hall! Always could take a joke. He will be missed and fondly remembered. May he rest in the Peace of Jesus!

My condolences go out to Rosemary. Gregory was my longest time friend. We went to grammar school together and graduated from high school together. We have literally been good friends for 65 years.

My deepest sympathy to Greg´s family. I was new to both the law and politics back when Dudek and Arcadi were dominating the Erie County Legislature. Smarter and happier people I never met. Greg was always happy to advise a new person and I always enjoyed his company and advice. He will be missed.
May his memory be a blessing.
