Dear Darnel, Vincent and Matthew,
We are so saddened to hear of Greg´s passing. He was a wonderful person, always easy to chat with whether at a sporting event or his wine store. He coached our son Colin for basketball, and we will always remember Greg for his friendliness and kindness.
God Bless you all,
Deidre and Jim Horan and family

I met Greg through playing basketball with him in Chicago. Those days were great fun, a couple hours or basketball and a couple of beers and stories about sport, work, and family. My deepest sympathies for your loss. Greg remains in my memories and prayers as a terrific guy.

Mary Catherine and I were incredibly saddened to hear about Greg's sudden passing. He will forever be one of the best bosses I've ever had, but beyond that he was a great person - incredibly generous in sharing his passion for sports, music, food, wine and family with others. I learned a lot from Greg: what it means to be a good "manager" of people, the value in building a community by opening your door to others, the impact you can have just by sharing a dinner table or a bottle of wine. I'm including a picture of one of the many times Greg and Darnel invited West Side staff into their home for a world-class meal with world-class wines. Not pictured are the many great conversations I had with Greg, who was always open and interested. These dinners, thanksgiving mornings and long conversations remain some of my favorite memories. Our deepest condolences to Darnel, Vincent and Matthew.

So very, very sorry to hear of Greg's passing. My wife and I met him 20 years ago when we started going to West Side. He was a truly wonderful guy. Whether it be talking about wine, the Red Sox, or just life, Greg was simply a joy. Our thoughts and prayers are with Greg's family and the many people whose lives he touched both professionally and personally. May his memory be a blessing for all who knew him.

To Darnel and family - Please accept my condolences for the loss of your husband and father. Having recently experienced the loss of my parents and father in law - I know how difficult this is. I also know each day your sorrow will lessen and turn to gratitude that he was part of your lives. I am sure he forged a path with great examples of how he would want you to move forward. We are all here for you - please lean on us.
