Dear Ferrell Family,
I am so shocked to hear about Greg. No words can express my sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I knew him as a teenager- we used to skate together all the time. I fondly remember him. His laugh would always bring a smile to your face.

I worked with Greg for the past 15 years, I considered him a true friend. I loved making him laugh, it brought joy to my heart, to hear that laugh. Greg was a true family man, always bragging about his kids, you could hear the pride he had in sharing his stories about his family. I am truly, going to miss Greg. My thoughts and heart goes out to his family. Just know, he was proud of each of you, and loved all of you very much. As I said, God must have had a problem with the Pearly Gates, and called Greg up, to have them repaired the right way. Goodbye, my friend, god bless you, it's been a real honor, to call you my friend..

I have not had the honor of meeting Greg, but I know his Dad Jim from my time working at NASA Langley. On several occasions, I enjoyed Jim talking about his son Greg and how proud he was of him.
My deepest sympathies to Jim and family, Greg's wife and children,friends and loved ones.
Sincerely,
Creighton Gustafson

Laura - I worked with Greg for the majority of his career at BNE. From the beginning I recognized his desire, greatness, and the ability to get along with everyone. I am saddened of his passing at such a young age because he was destined to achieve even more than what he had already accomplished. Over the years we became close friends and shared many stories. We will greatly miss him. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you,Zach,Chase,and Jenna.
