Connie ~ I just heard of Gre's death. I am so sorry for your loss. Greg and I worked together at Menninger. We had fun sharing South Dakota stories and actually both were from northeastern South Dakota. The world will truly miss his kind spirit.

Sorry, I just learned of Greg's passing. He was a great guy. We first met in grade school where he once helped pull me out of one of those deep dark adolescent depressions that kids get stuck in. I don't even think he really remembered. He was just one of those naturally kind people. It's what he did. He was exceptional and he'll be missed.

Greg and I were students in Biology at WU and graduated the same year. Always enjoyed talking to him. Prayers to the family in this difficult time. God Bless.

I met the Wold Clan when they moved to Topeka, across the street from us on Prairie Road. We have been friends ever since. Every time I would see Greg it was like time had stood still. A true friend. I will miss him very much, as will many.

Dad there are no words to describe the loss I feel. You were such an amazing, big hearted, honest human being who would do anything for anyone. The world lost an amazing human being, one full of not only knowledge but love. I am grateful for the 27 years I was given with you and am now grateful for the guardian I know will always be nearby. I will love you forever and always pops. Forever and always.

I worked with Greg at Menninger and was proud to play a part in the benefit for Kristen in 1994. Being around Greg was akin to the emotional state of singing aloud - impossible not to be happy. What a gift of a guy to know, my condolences to you - his loved ones. Doug Tyree
