Greg didn't just make you feel welcome, he made you feel as if your company was expected. He made you feel as if your words carried great weight, and he measured his own words equally. He was wise and kind and sincere, and he was all of these qualities before he was 18. These qualities left a lifelong impression. And of course, the words that fail is in our sorrow can be found in the lyrics of the GD, much like those words lead us in our quest for knowledge in our youth: Faring thee well now. Let our lives proceed by their own design. Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine.
