Dear Debbie and family
Although I only saw Greg a few times a year as a client and real estate dealings I so enjoyed those times. His wit and sense of humor brightened ones day. He always spoke highly of you and the kids.
If there is anything I can do for you please don't hesitate to call.

To the Paxton Family:
Bruce knew Greg for over 15 years from real estate. Michelle met Greg at Global Mortgage as she trained him to become a loan officer. I will never forget his wit and SMILE. You will be missed dearly Greg. Bruce just talked to Greg a week or so ago and he said he might come down to Florida for a visit. God Bless the Paxton Family in their time of loss.

Chad and Family,
I am so very sorry to hear of Greg's passing. He was a wonderful man, who talked so adoringly about his family with us when he helped sell our home. He was very proud of his boys. Chad if there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask.

Greg Paxton helped me buy my first home. I would have made so many foolish mistakes without his guidance. He really was looking out for me and not just for a commission. I think of him and silently thank him almost every day. He was a gracious, kind man. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that he was appreciated by many people.
