Kantor Family~ We met Greg and Zach many years back through baseball. Greg and my husband shared such a love for the game, especially when it came to Little League. Every time we ran into Greg, whether it was at the Grover, or at a game.....that was all they could talk about. We saw Greg as a great Man, Father, Husband, Brother, and Coach. Our thoughts are with you all in this time of sorrow.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this heartbreaking time. There is nothing I can say that will ease your pain but I just wanted you to know I am thinking of all of you. My deepest sympathies.
P.S. I do have many memories of Greg as he was growing up. Him and Gary playing little leage, his love of music (Hall & Oates), baseball and then of course, his family!!

Judy, Denay, Greg and Zack,
Words cant describe what I want to say to you all. Greg was a great guy. I got to know him better when Zack first joined us a few years ago on the Freshman team. He enjoyed seeing Zack play baseball at Liberty and I hope that image stays with him forever. Stay strong. Even though those are hollow words I know you guys have fought long and hard through this and you will get through the tears and heartache. Remember the good!
My sincerest condolences,
Bill Bertolotti and family

Kantor & Smith family: I'm not too good at this, but I do want to express my sorrow in your loss of a younger brother, husband, and father. I've seen Greg grow up through childhood and then grow up to become a very involved family man and had baseball in his blood all his life along with Gary. I wish you all the support you need to get through this extremely difficult time. He'll be missed by not only me, but a lot of people and always fondly remembered.
