Greg was a classmate and friend of mine from Washington courthouse class of 68. He was always very smart and funny. He was also very tall, fit and thin. I hadn't seen him for several years and always hoped to see him at our class reunions. When he did not come in 2025, I looked forward to seeing him at the next one. May he rest in peace and know that his classmates treasured him and miss him. Patty Palmer, class of 1968

Greg, my heart is aching. You were my dear friend from kindergarten on. We are never prepared to lose someone so it´s difficult to accept. You are at peace now and no more pain and suffering. I will always remember our Mexican dinners together when I would come home to visit my brother. Serious conversations but lots of laughs while we were reminiscing. Rest in peace, Greg, and watch over us. Love you always Dear Friend...
