Hi Deanne: I was watching the Red Wings and your dad was mentioned being 95, wow!
I know Greg has passed and all it sounds so crazy that life ends so suddenly. Hope you well and best to you. Jeff Petrillo

Deane, Griffin:
Cannot believe twelve years has passed.
I think of Greg often and how we would have grown together in business. One of the few that I worked with that understood my goals and restaurant process.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Greg was the greatest! From the early days meeting both of you at Clark's to swim meets at Greenbriar, Greg was always the nicest guy in the crowd.

Dear Deanne:
We are so sorry for your loss. Although we haven't seen you or Greg in quite a while, we have such wonderful memories of family gatherings at the cottage and at each other's homes. Watching all the cousins grow up together enjoying each other's company was a collection of unforgettable experiences. We will miss Greg; of that there is no question. We send our prayers and best wishes for you, Griffin,Pam and your dad.

Deanne and Griffin,
Words cannot express the sadness that is felt with all of Greg's former employees at the Club at the Scottrade Center (formerly Savvis Ctr.). Greg was a crazy, fun, and wonderful manager, with an infectious laugh and great sense of humor, and we ALL loved working for him.
Several of us were able to attend the visitation, but others were not. I would like to speak for all of the "old" group when I tell you that Greg will be missed and never forgotten. Our hearts are broken, and our deepest sympathy goes out to you, Griffin, and the entire family. The world was lucky to have Greg in it for 50 years, but it's way too soon to lose such a wonderful man.
Terri Meyers and "Friends" from the Club at the Scottrade Center

I am so sorry for your loss. Greg always made me laugh when he came down to the store(7-11). He was a joy to be around. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

The image that keeps coming to mind is your wedding reception and Greg sucking on a cigar and grinning! Having just talked to your dad recently (that was a wonderful catch-up), I know all you have been doing for Greg's mom and how he and Gavin took care of Shawn. I'm rambling but I am so stunned I don't know what to say. I am so sad for you and your family, so sad Griffin won't have his dad's physical presence as he moves through life. There are no answers for so much of what life hands us but I believe in God and I believe that Greg was met by Jesus, Shawn and your mom and he's living a new life and he'll alwaysl be laughing and cheering you on. You're in our prayers. We love you, Cathy and David

Deanne and Griffin,
Take comfort knowing that you have a special guardian angel in heaven watching over you both. I bet he's sitting next to my Dad, both of them enthusiastic experts on watching kids play sports...lots of sports. My Dad had tremendous respect for you, and it was always well deserved. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Deanne & Griffin,
I know words may not be sufficient to express our sense of loss,but the knowledge that Greg did not suffer long means a lot. I want to sincerly express our condolences and to let you know that we will always remember You and Greg as well as your son, Griffin.
I was glad to see you the nights you were in Kirkwood at the many places that we Kirkwoodians go to like 7-11.
May the light be upon you as you begin a new journey.

Dear Deanne,
May God bless all those effected by the passing of Greg, especially you and Griffin. I had the privilge of getting to know Greg briefly while working under him at the old Marriott's Pavilion hotel in downtown St. Louis while Deanne was working for channel 5. Of all of the supervisors I had that came and went during my years at the hotel, Greg was definitely the easiest one to get along with. I know he will be missed by many.
Our prayers are with you and yours,
Dale Mertz

Deanne,
I lost my best friend Phil under similar circumstances a year ago February. I still miss my friend and his wonderful laugh. I was happy to see the wonderful picture you chose to remember Greg. I will remember his wonderful laugh. And I really remember the laugh when I could not see him, from behind me, across a room, on the other side of Clark's there was no mistaking Greg's laugh. I also remember that you and Greg seemed always to be such a wonderful team, feeding off each other, caring for each other, complementing each other perfectly.
In my view of heaven, my friend Phil greeted Greg with a beer and they shared a laugh over a bad John Magee joke.
