Great friend and co-worker at HRAccess supporting TSA. We grew to be good friends working together side by side in a great environment. Greg, I was just going to call you and to hear that you've gone is very disappointing to me and many of us who worked with you and knew you. With the greatest respect and with a feeling of loss, I hope you are in a better place and that, if I can somehow make it there, I will see you again.

I worked with Greg for many years at the General Services Administration. He was always a model of professional public service and an all around "good guy." I found him to be always supportive and a pleasure to work with. He will be missed.
