Greg was always someone we could count on to help with whatever situation he could at Childrens. I enjoyed saying hi to him and knowing that he always had our back on the patient floors! I am so sorry for your loss. He was such a dedicated man!

October 23, 2014

I am so sorry for your loss. Greg was one of the few security personal that I would chat with when I saw him (I am a nurse at Childrens). He was so kind and willing to help. I will keep his family in my prayers.

I echo the sentiments of Greg's Children's family in sending my heartfelt condolences while expressing appreciation for getting to work with Greg. He cared for his colleagues and even more deeply for the patients and families that we are so privileged to serve. No task was too big or too small, he was always ready and willing to help.

He will be missed.

With sympathy,

My deepest sympathy for your loss. I have had the honor of working with Greg for the past few years as he helped to teach our new employees at Children's how to keep themselves safe. In any encounter he brought energy, humor and kindness. He could always be counted on to help at any time. Greg will be deeply missed.

Last Spring I stopped by the Children's security office for a quick question. Greg was working and we got to talking. We discovered we had both served in the military and had a wonderful conversation about the Army, being parents, and life in general. I smile just thinking about that conversation. I felt like I made a new friend that day and always looked forward to seeing him around the hospital. He was much loved by many at Children's and will be dearly missed. Here is a photo of Greg as he joined in to dance to "YMCA" during one of our Children's TV shows.
