Greg always had a smile and made me laugh. My thoughts are with the family. God bless.

I've known Greg for 18 years and shared our love of baseball and family. Greg often talked about going to Ravens games with his Dad and brothers. His face would light up when he remembered their many trips to Baltimore and time spent together. I find comfort knowing Greg and his Dad are reunited and all Greg's photos are in perfect focus now. Rest in peace my friend. Til Valhalla. Dennis

I was Greg´s work partner at the P&P Office for more than 10 years. And for every time he may have aggravated me he also made me laugh. Those times will always live in my memories, so Greg will never be truly gone.

I had the pleasure and honor to know Gregory for many years. During that time we had the opportunity to share philosophy of religion, life, nature, and how everything comes together. A skilled photographer in the United States Navy and after his honorable service. I learned that Gregory had a unique perspective on the little and big things in life. Gregory always had shown his kindness to those in need. Gregory will be greatly missed and I am ever thankfull for the the opportunity to have know him.
Wishing you God's speed in your next chapter. Wishing blessings to your family. Rest in peace brother
