As a cousin of Greg I knew many things about him. He was always cheerful and no matter what, he would always get you to walk away from him with a smile, that is if you wanted to walk away from him. Greg and I were very close and we shared many stories a bout our schools and our life. He was such a great kid and still is and I will always remember him and if you knew Greg you know what I am talking about. He could make up many ideas and weird stuff to talk about. I remember standing up at the podium of Greg's funeral and I read a beautiful poem about him, and I was in amazement of how many people that showed respect to our Greg. I could go on and on about him, but i have to stop sooner or later. All I want to say is I love him and want him to always remember what a weird and loving family he had. Rest in peace sweet Greg.

One of my fondest memories growing up in Dayton Ohio was being at the Friedman's house. Gregory's uncle was one of my closest friend's, so I know the warmth and love for eachother this family has. I pray that this love helps the Katsnelson and Friedman families get through this very difficult time. Barukh Haba B'Shem Adonai. Shalom Alechem.

Words cannot express the emotions of grief we are feeling.

Gregory will always be remembered as kind, caring, happy, gentle, handsome, creative and intelligent.

Greg will live on forever in our hearts!

Sending you our love.

Greg, who was a good friend of my younger brother, was an incredible kid. Words cannot express how thankful I am to have known him. My thoughts and prayers will be with Greg and his family forever.

I KNEW GREG FROM MARLTON MIDDLE SCHOOL. HE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE AND MADE EVERYONE HAPPY. I WOULD ALWAYS SEE HIM IN THE HALLWAY AND WE WOULD SAY HI TO EACH OTHER. I WILL MISS NOT SEEING HIM IN THE HALLWAY ON MY WAY TO SPANISH.

I didn't really know Greg but from what I heard he was a really great guy. Smart, funny, and a great dancer. I can't stop thinking how much this hurt everyone. On Friday there were so many tears and so many red faces. I was crying too. It could have been any of us. It could have been my best friend, some one's mom, it could have been anyone. And even though I didn't know him very well it was still a shock that it had happened so close to home ~ R.I.P.

I worked at Creek Run Day Camp for the summers of 1999 and 2000. Greg was one of the most pleasant campers I met. He was so incredibly bright for such a young age. Everyone thought he was charming. I was in complete shock over the news of his passing. My heart goes out to the Katsnelson family and all of their friends and loved ones. Greg will be truly missed.
