Gregg was one of my best friends; I'm truly sadden by his passing. My heart is broken. I will miss his laughter and sense of adventure. I saw in him a true love of nature and all it could bring to a free spirit. You were my one constant that I counted on. I will never, ever forget you.

Sincere sympathy to Gregg's family. We'll always remember Gregg driving his vehicles thru the neighborhood with Rose. We'll miss them.

Gregg was a truly unique soul. His laughter was contagious, his ideas brilliant, as well as outrageous. And his enthusiasum for life was a true gift to all who knew him. I think of him with all of those who knew and loved him, that have gone on before him. And if I know Gregg he is with them right now telling them all the stories of his life and sharing a good laugh, and of course, the love that only a good life well lived can bring. Good job on a life well lived!!!
Greg gave us these from his farm after a storm hit and knocked them down. Plus, the bucket he gave us had a frog in it .

The eccentric boy I met in high school turned out to be an amazing man.
Gregg had such a love for life and learning and did more in 10 years than most do in a lifetime. He had such a positive attitude, lived life to the fullest, and loved with all his heart. His farm was his passion and he lived his dream, but his life was too short.
I will miss my dear friend.......I hope he is at peace with his girls by his side.

My deepest sympathies to the entire Swiderski family. I will always remember his lust for living life to its fullest. I have a photo that he took of the Statue of Liberty hanging in my home, it certain has taken on a new meaning; sadness, yet proud to have know such an amazing person. He will be sorely missed.

My sincerest condolences to the entire Swiderski family. Gregg will be missed and is loved by all who knew him, our time with him was far too short.
Determined, imaginative, humorous, caring, nature and animal loving, explorer, collector, fun loving, problem solver, treasure hunter, tough yet gentle, inspiring, loving dear friend who lived his life on his own terms.
As he told me his mother had said, March fourth young man... in reference to his birthday on March 4th, and I do believe he has joyfully marched right though heavens gate. You will always remain in my heart and prayers.

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Gregg. Please accept my heartfelt condolences to the entire Swiderski family during this difficult time. I will always remember Gregg for his outgoing personality, how he made me laugh and his lust for life and learning. He was also a pretty good photographer; I have a picture of the Statue of Liberty that he took many, many years ago and to this day it is still hanging in my home. It has taken on a new meaning for me. Gregg will be sorely missed.

GREGORY EDWARD MICHAEL
which Thou hast commanded to depart out of this world AUG.24,2015. We ask that Thou would not deliver his soul into the hands of the enemy, nor forget it unto the end, but beseech that Thou would command it to be received by the Holy Angels, and conducted to Paradise, his soul's True Country; that as in Thee his soul had hoped and believed, that it may not suffer the pains of hell, but may take possession of eternal joys.
Through Christ Our Lord, Amen. +
+Dear One+ You are now and forever in God's care, my middle brother, to be welcomed Home into the loving arms of our dear late mother, THERESA MARY. +
IN OUR LORD, MAY YOU LIVE FOREVER! +

Gregg was not only my cousin, but a good and dear friend. I visited him as often as possible and he was always very inviting and cheerful.
He seemed to have more knowledge of life and things in the world than most people many years his senior. He always had something interesting to say and we enjoyed his many tales of adventure. He lived life the way he wanted to, which is a great thing in itself.
Taken from us much to young, he will be sorely missed...but remembered forever!

To the Swiderski Family, memories of Gregg.
I love you guys and may God Bless you at this time. I was very sad to learn about Gregg's passing at such a young age.
Gregg was truly a great friend with a big heart. My family loved him. We all loved Gregg. He was filled with a zest for life he shared with everyone.He loved nature and the great outdoors. I enjoyed many adventures with Gregg: scuba diving, hiking, rafting, even horse back riding with brother Gary in Mexico wearing big sombreros. Camping, growing huge vegetable gardens and naturalized flower beds in the woods at the farm. He was also a collector. His favorite was moon rocks. His collection of Tektites were museum quality with interesting stories of foreign travel attached to some of them. Rose, his beloved Golden broke his heart when she passed away in November 2014. Rose and Gregg were inseparable. I have very fond memories of Gregg and will miss talking with him and sharing life's experiences. Our tears are tears of joy. Saddest of all would be no tears. God Bless all of us for knowing such a vibrant person.

The most knowledgable and genuinely kind friend I have ever had. A jokester with a huge heart, he was always helping people and sharing his knowledge about the environment. I already miss the way he found humor in the absurd and the glee he received in pulling a good hearted prank. He was also a dog lover who made it his mission to give his pets the utmost care and love.
I'll miss you buddy, every day.

Gregg and I worked at the same company for several years, though in different cities. It was always a treat to get together with Gregg. He had great stories to tell and a constantly active mind. I enjoyed hearing about his adventures obtaining meteorites, fulgerites, and more and seeing some of these treaures displayed in his home. Gregg was never boring. He died too young, but I think he lived life the way he wanted to, which is a great gift. My sympathy to his loved ones.

We knew Gregg through my sister, Marybeth and always enjoyed his visits. His enthusiasm, adventurous spirit, high energy, and ability to have fun no matter where he was, were contagious. He truly was a kid at heart. Our kids would delight in his visits as he took them on many adventures that would've otherwise been forbidden-proudly returning with a collection of animal skulls, rocks and plants. He was thoughtful and very generous too. He often donated items to my elementary school's incentive program. Although we are deeply saddened by his loss, we take comfort in recognizing that he made his dream of having his farm come true. Even though it was too short, it seemed Gregg lived his life to the fullest.Our deepest condolences to the family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
