Greg was our "bestest" friend. We've known him and Pam for over 30+ years. We started to hang out on the softball field where teammates became family. From jamming with guitars and drums on Solano Way to the beautiful island of Maui, Hi., we've shared it all. I can't believe we won't be hanging out together this March where he and Pam welcomed us almost every year for the past 10 years. "Greg Dude", you will be forever in our hearts and when I think of you, it will always be with fun and humor and the best things life can offer. Thanks for being such an important part of my life journey, I love you man.

So sorry to hear of Greg's passing. His humor was one of the things I remember most about him. Many of my favorite high school memories included him. I know he loved his family more than anything. You are all in my thoughts as you go through this difficult time.
