I loved watching Greg perform for all us kids out at LJCA. He became a real friend as a dorm dad and running into him around town. Real great guy.

I worked at Speedway Cafe and now work at Big Eyed Fish, where Greg entertained many people (including me) over the years. no matter how many times I saw him do a card trick, I was always amazed. He was a kind man, who willingly shared his gifts with those who knew him. My sympathies to Renee and his entire family. Rest well.

Mr. Albright was a favorite with the South Side academic team during my time in high school. He accompanied his wife (our coach) to meets and provided endless entertainment to a bunch of bored teenagers as we waited for our various rounds to begin, probably keeping at least a few of us from finding some other, harebrained way of passing the time. I know he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
