For a period of time Greg was one of my dearest friends. I was his best man and he was my best man at our weddings. Even though we drifted apart I thought of him often. GOD BLESS

Over the last several years, I've seen Greg mostly at family funerals and one mini-reunion. He was always there, always kind, always caring. I will always think of him fondly. -Nancy (Wilson's daughter)
