My sincere condolences to Greg's family. Greg and I grew up on the East Side of Brockton, me on Centre Street, and he live in the Guild Road Area. We went to Elementary School, Jr.High and High School, both graduating in 1964. I will always remember his friendship from that early era of our lives. We played Baseball, Football, and Golf together. RIP GREG, I will always remember you.

I remember Gregory as a cool "older guy" - always in his baracuda jacket - from way back in grade school. So sorry to hear he passed. My condolences to his family.
