I remember him when I was little, he always took my brother and myself to the corner and told us to get whatever we wanted. I seen him even in my teenage years he never forgot who I was or my name. Even as a grown woman every single time I seen Greg he always asked me how I was and how my mom and brother were doing. THAT MAN WAS THE SWEETEST PERSON I KNEW, YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED GREG!!!
