Delores and girls - think of you everyday and I pray for you also and ask my favorite St. Jude to help you through this difficult time.

Delores I am proud of you how you are helping yourself and hanging in there and that show what faith that you have. Will miss seeing you and Greg out there in that yard cleaning up everything. If you need help in moving anything around or whatever just give me a call I know you and I could move it together.
Will miss Greg going up to Captains Quarter and watching the boats race on Wednesday Evening.
Take care and I will call and bother you often so you know that we care a lot about you.
Love and Peace and Prayers,
Joyce

My memories of Greg from Shawnee are not much different than the remembrances of those signing into this book before me. He was certainly one of the good guys.
My condolences,

Delores,
I was hoping to make it by the funeral home, but duties here have made that impossible.
I offer my sympathy and prayers to you and your children. I will also remember Greg at my Masses this weekend.
If you ever want to talk with an old classmate, call me at St. Bernard.
Peace,

I had the good fortune to have Greg as my boss for five years. He was truly a one-of-a-kind guy. Always concerned about others well-being. When I lost two members of my family in a short period of time, Greg was there to offer solace and comfort and always, always kind words. I will miss his laugh and his love of life. My thoughts and prayers go to his family.

I was fortunate enough to have worked with Greg over the years and have benefited from his friendship. Many times he turned a difficult situation around with his humour and genuine good nature. He will be missed. My thoughts go out to his family.

We are so saddened to hear of Greg's death. He truly "fought a brave fight." Greg will be missed by so many people. Our Brussels group will miss his laughter, wonderful sense of humor and great smile. Greg truly loved his family, there was no doubt about that.
We send our love to you, Delores, the girls and all of your wonderful family. We continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Delores and Family, you will hear it over and over again and yes it is true. Greg treated everyone as if they were family, loved us as family and he was loved in return. You both became part of our family, not just at work, but in our hearts. He was great man and we were all very blessed to have him touch our hearts and our lives. You and your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers. Teri and Robert

I worked with Greg for about a year and he was a wonderful man. He never failed to ask about my boys and if they had a school function he made sure I knew to take my time because spending time with them was the most important thing in life. You could tell he lived according to this belief when you heard him talk about Delores and his daughters too. It was obvious they were his life. He will be greatly missed. My prayers are with you and your family.

To Greg's family, I worked for Greg at DRE. He was a really good person, and a pleasure to work for. I can only hope that I can portray his kindness, his ability to make people feel like family and the importance that he placed on every person. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May god bless you and keep you close.

I worked with Greg at DRE. When he hired me, he told me that when he hired someone that he was hiring a member of their family. He made that statement true. He gave support and friendship to every employee at DRE. We truly miss him.
