Happy Birthday Greg! I arrived in NYC on a work/art trip today and the timing seemed so fitting. I have so many good memories of being here with you. And it was on this day in 2014 that I last heard your voice. I miss you so much!

Damn it Greg - What God would select you to go ?
You're in my mind daily - I have dreams and nightmares of you -
usually - you're leaving - as you are gone but not forgotten.
Megan says the same.
Always regarded you as 'Dad #2'.
You were a huge positive influence on her and she has
honored it in so many ways and you'd be proud how it has
manifested itself.
Love and Miss You, Ran

Megan, Rocky and I still can't believe we will never talk to you again.
When I left Philly in 1997 to move to CA I hoped it would give you a chance to finally do what you wanted to without my input.
You were so unhappy with the Design Industry, the client demands and Philly!
Only a few people know that we continued to stay in touch after I moved here. We traveled to Meg's events, Italy and France together and you were out to CA a few times and I worked on your properties in South Beach...all before either of us had a clue of email or smart phones - well you never got on to that - Ha
Miss you Greg!
You'd be so proud of Meg's accomplishments.
Eternal Love, Ran

Happy Birthday Greg! In honor of you o chose this as the day that my husband and I would embark upon a cross country trip to move to Los Angeles. I miss you so! You wouldn't believe who our country elected as president. I can't say his name but let's just say it is written all over Atlantic City. How I wish I could call you up to talk about this and all that awaits us in LA. You taught me to be ambitious and to work hard; it is paying off. I love you!

Greg, I just learned of your passing. The S&H family will miss you so very much. You always made me feel better after we spoke. I am sure you are speaking to my dad who passed last year. Harold was a true fan of yours. Greg, I will always keep you in my mind. You were an inspiration in my life and heart. We will truly miss you. The S&H family and the Stern family.
This comes from the bottom of my heart.

To my dearest Greg, you were the light of my life, the rock in my life, my one true love. You made me laugh, you made me happy. Through the bad and the good you were always with me at my side. You gave me reason to fight even on my darkest days. You took care of me and helped me overcome many obstacles so that I could be there and take care of you. You will forever be in my heart and in my thoughts. I will always love you forever and ever. I hope you'll be waiting for me so we can meet again to continue on our journey. May you rest in peace. Love always, Jane Queeney (Tess).

Uncle Greg, you were the best Godfather a girl could ask for. You introduced me to those little blue boxes from Tiffany's. I will always remember you coming to my parents late at night to hang out. I loved the times that we shared. I love you.
