Deepest sympathy to Jeanine and family on the passing of Greg. I only heard of Greg's passing recently as I live in Europe now. I met Greg (and Jeanine) when I worked in Med Chem group at BMS in the early 1990's. Greg was a brilliant chemist and also a lot of fun. I can still hear his laugh coming out of the lab at the end of the corridor. Rest in Peace Greg. Heaven is a little more fun now. Peter

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Our family will never forget Dr. Roth and his act of kindness. He took the time from his busy schedule to guide and advise our daughter on her career choice as a newly minted scientist and materials engineer. It meant the world to us. He was always the educator!

Our sincere condolences,

Kevin,Pearl and Kristen Walsh
