Greg was extremely talented carpenter. Aways professional, trustworthy, and hardworking.
There was no one else that you felt more comfortable to work in your home. Greg was very kind
and took the time to "smell the flowers" kind of guy. I think of him often as he did beautiful
carpentry work in our homes. He had a great smile and wonderful demeanor.
such a great loss~ Scott & Helene Malatesta
