Greg was my closest friend for many years. We worked together and rode motorcycles together every chance we had.
This world has lost a truly great man. No other has impacted my life as much.
You will be missed my friend.

We live just up the street. Watch Grag and his family move and grow, the kids grew up in the same church, got to know greg through work and in passing; the boy was on cloud nine all the time. I said to myself how can anybody act that way; now I know he is(was always) a spirit. I witness the family, I feel the love, I now wish I was closer to him because the pain. It just goes to shoe what type of person he was,,, Keep watching greg...

I am writing on behalf of myself, Donna Kay Teel Hudson, and Don Teel. We lost my mother, Betty Teel earlier this year, and now Greg will be joining her. We all loved Greg so very much. Greg was Donna Kay's first boyfriend. We will all miss Greg. Much love to the Conner family.

It is with a heavy heart that I read about Greg. I had only met him on a couple of occassions, but he was joyful, optomistic, and kind - even though he was fighting a monster inside his body. I'm glad I had the chance to meet him. My heartfelt sorrow yet joyful prayers go out to you. Blessings, Karen Henry

Greg was one of my most cherished friends. Greg was always so full of energy and encouragement. If Greg was in the mix we always had a great time. He will be missed and thought of often. God's speed Mr. Conner.

Greg was always the funniest guy in class. We went to school together since the 7th grade. Then remained friends at his family's "cabin" at the lake. Classmates will forever love, miss you, and honored to call you "FRIEND". My heart and love goes out to the family!
