I met Greg in October of 1993, we started dating in February 1994 and were together until January of 2011. Greg was one of the most wonderful men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was like a step father to my boys and had the biggest heart you can imagine. I have been having an extremely hard time with his death, and I just hope that he is happy and and watching how many people really loved him. I will always love Greg, and part of me died when he was taken from us. My prayers go out to his mother Debbey and his Sister's that also loved him. God Bless you Greg, you will not ever be forgotten. Best love, Sherie

Greg was my class mate at Lincoln Junior High and Naperville Central, my team mate in baseball at the Naperville Pony League and football at St. Raphael's. He was a great athlete, a great competitor and friend growing up in what was once the sleepy town of Naperville. He was funny and a friend to all. He will be missed by all who knew him. My prayers to Greg and his family.
