I didn't find out until this weekend (May 25). I don't know what to say here. I guess the last time I saw Greg was at one of our Billy Hong Black Belt reunions several years ago. We will all miss him so very much.

The last time I remember seeing Greg was walking down a street in Charleston, in the evening with his family. We were taking a nice after dinner stroll. He was a gifted man, easy to get along with, and so interesting to talk with. I'll always remember him ..walking with his family in Charleston in the evening. My sincere condolences.

Dear Pam and Family,

I am so saddened to know of Greg's death. I have such great memories of Greg's love of good fun from Sigma Chi days at Emory. There could be no end to the tales of the practical and not so practical jokes he played or were played on him, some of which defy description.

Please know that many fond thoughts and prayers are with you in the days ahead.

Best,

Alex Barrett
