I think I have known Greg close to twenty years now. Lucky for me,we were introduced by Celine and Cathy. What a time we all had! Friday night videos at the Cralley house, playing wild games of uno and sorry at the DiLuigi's kitchen table and all those wonderful parties. Those were the days my friend. All of us are so lucky to have shared so much. Deep lasting friendship, laughter that never stopped, lots of love and knowledge of unwavering inner strenght always there when it was needed. We all have lasted longer than most marriages.My heart knows you are safe and in heaven. No doubt making the angles laugh. I will forever miss your twinkling eyes, quick smile and your remarkable ability to be a friend. My prayers and love are with you and your family. Love Sue

I can remember Greg throughout my childhood years. His smile, laughter and genuine appreciation of others. I remember how he called my mother 'Mrs. C' and spent his afternoons watching General Hospital with the gang at our house. Those truly were the 'Happy Days'. Greg was a wonderfully warm man and it makes me smile to remember his face, always smiling, always friendly....always willing to try my baked goods.

Greg, we will all miss you.

Among the things in life I will always love and remember about you Greg are your walk, your smile, the quiet kindest that you gave so freely to all that surrounded you. In my heart and mind you will always be a pleasant reminder of what a difference a truly kind person can be in lives of those that he knows and loves. Greg you loved are remembered.

I knew Greg through my sisters. I will always have fond memories of him in the kitchen at my mom's old house with Cathy & Jean laughing and telling jokes. He was a wonderful, warm, and loving gift to us all. May he look down on us from heaven and smile knowing he made a difference in so many lives.

I have known Greg thru my Wife Cathy Aebischer for a few years, and came to appreciate his kindness and honesty. The broke the mold after Greg was born. I feel honored and privileged to have been his friend. I’ll miss him tremendously.
