I just found out about Greg's passing, from an article that ran in the Cincinnati Enquirer. While words seem insufficient at the loss of your brother and son, know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. He was a welcomed part of my family whenever he was in town and we have fond memories of his visits. His kindness and gentlemanly manners were what set him apart from others. He'll always be in our memories.

Greg was without a doubt one of the best people we have ever known. Some of the best times we ever had were at the condo at the beach over 4th of July weekends. Never saw anyone play shuffleboard as well as he did after drinking beer in the hot sun all day long. We will miss you my friend, and we will never forget your friendship.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God and the deceased in Christ will rise first.



After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.



And so we will be with the Lord forever.



Amen.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Collinsworth & family,

It is a great shock to hear of Greg's passing away at such a young age. The thoughts and prayers of the entire Cohen family - Pat & George and my brothers (Randy, Doug & Scott)are with all of you and Greg's girlfriend. Many years have gone by since those Astronaut school days, but it still seems like just yesterday that Greg and Cris were leading the basketball team in the state playoffs. We regret we did not hear until too late or my parents and I would have attended the "Celebration of Greg's Life." Again, know that Greg and your family are in our hearts.

God bless all of you.
