My deepest sympathies to Greg's father, son, and daughter. Greg was a wonderful man and very caring of his parents. He was always friendly and talkative whenever we met. I miss seeing his smiling face. Tina McCardle

Greg attended Salem College with me for 2 years. He would ride with me to Salem. We had fun on our trips back and forth. We went our separate ways and lost touch after graduation. I am sorry that Greg passed away so young. Rest well.

Uncle Mark and the entire Lorah family. Laura and were heart-broken to hear the news of Greg's passing. Despite his many years of having to go through dialysis, he still found the time and energy to do right by all. After Aunt Dottie's passing, he took great pride in taking care of his Dad. Other than when we were very young kids, we never had the opportunity to live close together, but we maintained contact through social media over the years. Greg was a good cousin, great Father, and incredible care giver. He will be remembered fondly and missed by all. RIP, Greg.....the entire Jeff Snyder family from Arkansas, Texas, and Washington.

Dear Alyssa & Mark,
It is with great heartache that I heard about Dad's passing. It was always a pleasure to volunteer with him at ArtsQuest or running into him at Staples. I did miss him at ArtsQuest and wondered how his health was lately. Prayers to you and your family.
My best,

Greg was a friend who always made me laugh. He had the best sense of humor. His love for his family was priority. He took care of his dad with such pride. I will miss him terribly and pray for his family to find peace and know that he was loved by many.

To the Lorah Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I met Greg many moons ago through my brother, Gary. Greg always had a joke for me or better yet, a cute story about something my brother did. Always the gentleman, I will remember him fondly. May you be comforted by your memories of him.

Greg's family. I am truly sorry to read of Greg's passing. I remember him well from high school band I graduated in 1971. We both play saxophone in the band. May Greg have eternal rest in the arms of Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God Bless and Peace to the family.
