My condolences to the Bishop family in Greg's loss. I didn't know he was back in the area or I certainly would have looked him up to talk old times.
When I was a kid and first moved to Massillon, Greg and DeWitt were my closest friends. I'll never forget those days. I love you, Bishop family. God bless you all.
