I had the pleasure of meeting him and he was so humble and kind. I loved all his books, especially the Natchez Burning Trilogy. He was also good at playing guitar for the Rock Bottom Remainders. He will be missed.

I waited and waited to read another one of Greg's wonderful books; so glad he got to finish his last. What remarkable resiliency after his accident -- he lived life to the fullest and will be missed by many. RIP. You'll live on in your characters.

I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Iles on a couple of book signing events in St.Louis - always enjoyed listening to him. At the last one - he brought
his guitar and played a couple of songs and referenced his Author's band.
Don't get that at every book signing. His books were great - loved the one's set in Natchez. Was currently reading "Southern Man" and shocked to learn of his passing. He will be missed.
