I have known Greg since first grade at Cathedral. His smile was always the same - cute and capable of making everyone feel happy and young again. It was such a pleasure to see him at the 40th high school reunion last fall. He was a great person, accomplished so much in life, and will be greatly missed.

Dad,

We miss you already and love you very much.



May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields and, until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.



Rest in peace and pain free, Dad.



love you forever,

Victoria and John

Sharon and girls,

Was so sorry to hear about Greg. I remember when I worked with him on the school board at St. Regis. He was always so proud of his family and interested in what they were doing. He was a kind and nice man who was always willing to help out.
