Coach Gresko was a funny, warm, caring man with whom I had the pleasure of working basketball camp for five or six years. He had a great sense of humor that kept us all in stitches. He was very modest, never taking credit for the amazing basketball teams he coached, and his players loved him, even when he "yelled" at them. He will be missed by so many people who were blessed to have known him!

I remember John from growing up in the same neighborhood and being in many of the same classes at school over the years. I had not seen him since high school. What I remember most was his musical talent. My sympathy to his family at their loss.
