My prayers and condolences to Greg's family. I had the honor of working with him at Vanguard and he left an impact on everyone that knew him. We go through life sometimes wondering if we made a difference. Well, Greg never had to wonder that. He definitely made a difference in the lives of all who knew him. He will be missed.

My sincerest sympathies go to Greg's family during their time of mourning. I felt very lucky to have worked with him at Vanguard and to have had Greg on my team. I always remembered with fondness his sense of humour, love for ice hockey and of course fishing. He will be missed. Your family are in my prayers during this time of sorrow.

Greg will be missed by all. He was a generous and thoughtful friend to everyone he crossed paths with. I will miss all of our fishing trips in wildwood, they were the biggest fish ive ever seen or caught! As for our AC trips, Greg was always the fun of the party and the lucky one! You and your family are in my prayers.

Greg was such wonderful friend and co-worker. He loved his family and his wife more then you could imagine. I will miss his stories and his wondeful sense of humor. I know that where he is the fish will be big and the slot machines will always come up with Triple 7's.
