God has taken one of the best! Greg was a true gentleman who will be missed by us Fishin' buddies from Saugerties. I can picture him strolling up and down the stream with his bandolier of 'ham sandwiches in a can' for himself and whoever may have needed one. GOD bless Greg, Grant the family the strength to accept what we don't understand and his friends to share with others as he did with us!

I want to convey our sincerest condolences to your family.
As kids in Linden, my brother Glenn (better known as Butch at the time) and I had so many wonderful times with Greg. Motorcycles on Apple Mountain, fishing poles in every pond and more mischief than I care to remember. This was so long ago but I will never forget those years and Greg's infectious zest for life.
Warmest Regards,
Doug Payne
