I would like to wish my sincere condolences to Greg's family. I worked professionally with Greg from the start of his career at Wilsonart when everyone was cramped up in the one room above the lab. I will always remember that big smile and him always calling me by my last name. RIP Greg

To begin, I would like to wish my sincere condolences to the family.Greg, I'm really sad to writing you this last message. I'm surprising myself dropping tears during I'm writing to you. That proves that you have overpassed the professional relationship and became a friend, even if we are not in the same country. I want to thank you for the gentleman you have always been with me. Generosity, kindness, friendship, politeness, funny, intelligent, helpful are just a few qualities describing you for me. Thank you for all the knowledges you shared to me and the good times we spent together. I will never forget you!!!We lose an awesome man and paradise win one. Patrick Fortier(formerly Arborite)

My prayer for the family is that God will provide the comfort that only He can give. Greg was a very kind and hard working man. Every time I saw him he had a smile on his face. Wilsonart will be a different place without him there. He will be truly missed. May the peace of God be ever present during your time of grief.
