We would like to extend our sincere sympathy to Becky, who worked with my wife Kristin and to Greg, who I played club soccer with for many years. Peter was one of the most influential coaches in my soccer past. Peter believed in me when others did not and helped me to find the value and appreciation in being competitive, prepared and "collegial" about soccer. I have many great stories and "Peterism's" that warrant reflection and alwasys bring a smile to my face. Peter was passionate about soccer and it was infectious for those who came in contact with him. I owe much of my soccer passion, knowledge and success to Peter Grey. He will be missed.

Sincerely,

Aaron & Kristin James (former Patriots soccer club member)

To Peter's family, friends and loveones:



I can only wish you all my sincere condolences on the loss of a good friend. I've known Pete since Greg and my brother played Soccer as 12 year olds. As we grew older, we all became great friends spending many a Saturday or Sunday watching and playing ball. He was a guy who always had a good story and a laugh for every occassion. Pete! I only wish Lush green grass fields, great saves and plenty of cold ones for you from here on. Please look down on us and smile.



With great respect,





Brad Shore

I'm very sorry to hear about Pete. My thoughts and prayers go out to Pete, Greg and the family. I played soccer with Pete back in Wichita for a number of years in the 80's and 90's. He always had a smile on his face and a great story to tell. He will be missed.

I am so sorry for your loss and know Peter was a fighter. He worked with my son-inlaw & daughter before they moved to St. Joseph. When I saw him we would talk about our fight with cancer. It is so sad to see a life taken at such an early age. He will truly be missed. My prayers are with the entire family. Nancy

I played soccer with Pete for several years when I lived in Wichita and always got a "kick" out of Pete. He always had a great attitude and loved hanging out with all his soccer buddies. He made a lot of people's lives brighter, and he will be missed.
