Even though I hadn't seen Greg since we were in band many years ago in high school, I am deeply saddened to hear of his sudden passing - it reminds me that life is a precious gift and that we should live our lives to the fullest. It is clear that Greg touched many lives during his lifetime. I feel blessed to have been his friend.

Dear Dunkle Family
It is so hard to think of the right things to say in this terrible time. Someone once said to me when my father passed was, "remember that while we struggle to let our loved one go... those who have passed before him are cheering... Hurray! Here he comes!"
To my dear friend Ellen,
You have no idea how it hurts me that I can not be there for you. Don't ever hesitate to call.

I was shocked to read of Greg's sudden death. Remember we lived across from each other on 134th Court. Greg mowed and shoveled for me when my kids were in college. I will always remember his smile and how eager he was to do a good job. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time of incredible sadness

The last time I talked with Greg just a couple of weeks ago, he was offering his help when we needed it - so typical. We're within shouting distance for whatever you need.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
May you and your family find comfort in knowing how very much Greg loves his family and how much he is loved by others who's life he has touched.
As you already know; you, Evan, Lily and your extended families are in our hearts.
We love you,

Sandy, Ralph and family -
Words can not express our sympathy, at the loss of Greg. He was a beautiful individual and I always enjoyed hearing stories (from Ellen) on how he and his family were doing. I know that he will be missed by each of you, every day. Take comfort in each other - treasure all of your memories and time together.
I am keeping each of you in my thoughts and prayers.
