Thank you to everyone who have extended their support over the past year. Gregg was surrounded by an amazing family, caring friends and kind co-workers.

It is times like these that the decision to move 3,000 miles from family hits home, but I know that Gregg was surrounded by people he loved to his final days.

To me this photo of Gregg and my daughter represents him at his best - kind and understated, yet funny and even a bit silly. He will be missed.

Gregg's sister,

As Gregg's brother, I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to everyone who has taken the time to extend their compassion. At the risk of leaving people out, I would like to thank Gregg's co-workers at Pratt&Whitney and those in the community for your support.

We continue to grieve and yet embrace the spirit of Gregg that lives on in all of us.

Dear family,

Please accept my deepest condolences and sympathy. I hope that you find hope and comfort (as I do) from the promise of Jesus to reunite us with our dead loved ones here on earth under his kingdom rule in the near future when there is no more sickness, suffering, and death. May God bless you with strength and his spirit, dear ones.
