Greg was like a second father to me for many years. He was always kind and giving and I will always cherish the wonderful memories I have of him. I pray he always knew we have always loved him and his family dearly. Rest in peace Greg, and give Jean a big hug from us.

Saddened to hear about Greg's passing. I had the pleasure of knowing him and working with him while in the Air Force at Goodfellow AFB. I'll keep Greg and his family in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace, my friend.
