Many great memories from our Ferris days. This great guy will be missed by everyone who knew him.

It's with sadness to reflect on the recent passing of one of our Ferris State Grads that I spent time knowing while completing my own degree from the class of 75. Greg and Jesse seemed to be the perfect roommates and walked the hallowed halls of Miller and Brophy-McNerney Dorms as "The World's Greatest Tag Team," where everyone knew their names and celebrated a few "Room " Parties, smoking blueberry tiparillo cigars and watching our favorite sports teams.
Greg was just a down to earth guy - loved his Mercury Comet while we enjoyed many a competitive paddle ball match on campus courts only to celebrate a Dollar Burger afterwards with all the fixins at the local Burger Chef.
I enjoyed Ferris Football Tailgate Parties annually with our "Band of Brothers" Group to cheer on the team to victories and camaraderie to
catch up on what everyone was doing.
Greg helped me deal with college life coming from a small town and making a great friendship that lasted for years later.
Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog .... may you rest in peace.
Know that you will be missed!

I had the pleasure of working with a Greg Rose at Pier One Imports in Grand Rapids, MI back in 1977 or 78. If this is the same Greg Rose I worked with, I remeber him as being a good person and a fine supervisor. My condolences to the family. Sarah Baker Korth

I had the pleasure of working with Greg for the duration of his employment at Kirchhoff and enjoyed talking with him whenever I saw him. He will be greatly missed.
