As Greg's next door neighbor 1957-1961 I send my condolences. He was my trick-or-treat buddy at Halloween. My parents, now deceased, held his family in the highest esteem. All my love to his survivors.

What sad news to read today. I did not know about Tim until the Big House fund raiser was announced two weeks ago. I have such wonderful memories of listening to these guys play in Milledgville and Macon rockin' it out. We had some large times back in the day. God speed to the families and RIP Tim and Gregg. Back together again...Rock n Roll Heaven.
