To Greg's wife, children and family: I am very sad to have just learned about Greg's passing. I'm an attorney in Washington and worked with Greg for many years. His calm and respect for everyone brought decency to the environment we worked in. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope knowing that he had a lasting, positive impact on those he worked with will bring some measure of comfort.
