Greg was a good friend when I was younger. He gave me big hugs and I adored the attention. We grew apart as many kids do, but when I saw him occasionally I woud still get that bear hug. I'm so sorry for the family and pray they find peace in knowing that he is their angel to watch over them as they journey without him in their lives. Ill miss that smile and that bear hug. Pease Greg.

To the Cousins Family: Please accept the deepest condolences of myself and my wife. I was the warden when Greg was in charge of maintenance so I had frequent interactions with him. Since we had a new facility there was always plenty of discussion around what to do next. Greg was always unflappable and seemed to know just what to do and when to do it. He was an indispensable part of our team. I know he will be greatly missed by all of his many friends and relatives. Take care and Godspeed.
