Greg was such a sweet and funny guy (whom I'll confess to having a bit of a crush on back in the day - and I'm sure I'm not the only one who did!). He built a beautiful loft bed for me 30 years ago, which I still have and treasure. The world will miss your gentle spirit, Greg.

Greg was part of our Vasquez family. He left us too soon. We love and miss him very much. He was always helpful to others and there when you needed him. He made the most beautiful wooden flag case for my Father when he passed away It meant so much to me. A wonderful person, a beautiful smile and dependable beyond belief. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Vasquez family.
