I deeply admired Greg. After I moved from Buffalo in 2002, Greg wrote me and my family letters regularly until the last year of his life. He was a godly encouragement to us, strong witness for Jesus, and a dear mentor to me. I miss him and his wisdom

Greg was a wonderful person with a loving and giving heart for His Savior, Jesus Christ, and his family and friends. We enjoyed and treasured the time we got to share with Greg. His great letters were always special when we received one. He will be greatly missed by everyone who was touched by his loving heart. Rest in Peace and we know you are enjoying Jesus Christ presence and being with Jean, and family. We will be making a donation to Buffalo Hospice in his memory. Love to each member of Greg's family.

While growing up and spending many hours at MDG, I remember Mr. Schall. He always had a hug for me and a kiss on the cheek. I remember he was such a loving person. Over the years I have thought of him many times. I am so sorry for the family's loss but I am sure he is in heaven with my Dad and many other men of the Holy Name Society of MDG. Rest in piece Mr. Schall.
