Grandpa Greg is what my brothers and I called him. He was one of the kindest people I ever met and made my Grandmother, Sofie, a happy woman until she passed. The stories he shared with me where fun and the trips in "the green toad" will never be forgotten. Good bye Grandpa Greg.

I enjoyed working with Gregory to try to stop a particular unneeded development in Sutter County. His brother Alex was my classmate at Yuba City H.S.1940-1944. Gregory was dedicated to our country and his community and will be missed. Joan Joaquin, Sutter

I did not know Mr. Scandalis, but it would have been a privilege to talk with him. My Dad was also a career U.S. Air Force professional. They are our heroes!!
