Although I had only met Greg a few times, I knew him through his loving wife Kerri. She and I have worked together now for 2 and a half years. She has shared her love and memories of him and their life together. My prayers and thoughts are with the family as they cope with their loss. May you be wrapped in the arm's of God.
