My deepest sympathies to the Dorney family on Greg's passing. Greg and I worked together at GE Lighting and I always could count on a great story that would make me laugh! RIP Greg and if you can pull it off, please help the Cubs to their first World Series victory in over a hundred years. I will always remember Greg with fond memories and treasure the time we spent together.

First time I met Gregg was at St.Louis school, 8th grade. We had St. Mary Morris. Took me under his wing. Funniest kid I ever met. Played basketball with him, my cousin Gerry Leary and myself at CYO. I'll never forget him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

Very sincere condolences to the Dorney family. No doubt that Greg will be missed by all. Even though he couldn't hit a curve ball - now that I think about it - he couldn't hit the fast ball either - he claims that he batted over .300. He could talk his way to first base. I give him so much credit for his strength and great attitude that he demonstrated when the going was tough. Greg and his family will continue to be in our prayers. I just wonder if they are going to be prepared for what's coming when he arrives up there at the pearly gates.

My deepest condolences Patsy, Greg was a good friend; you will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

It's so strange that those we need
And those we like the best,
Are just the ones God called away
And took them Home to rest
But every time I think of Greg
I seem to hear God say
Have faith and trust my promise
You'll meet again someday.
