Greg and I attended Colgate together and were good friends, especially after graduating. We had a blast with other friends at an alumni weekend. Laughed for days on end. He visited in NYC and I visited in Boston so many decades back when we were both trying to figure out what to be and do post college. He was such a gentleman, quiet, polite, hard working. Never said an unkind word. We lost touch over the years but no doubt those who spent time with him recognized the same good character that was so evident in his early 20s. I have no doubt God is holding him in His arms. I am very sorry to have only recently learned of his passing. My condolences to the family.

Greg, Iwas smitten for you since the third grade and I was very lucky that we came back into each other's lives and reconnected. We were lucky to have found love and happiness together at this age. We shared many memories together over the past year that will remain in my heart forever. You had told me that you wanted me to hold your hand and walk with you until the end of time. , Although your time in this world was way too short, I did. You will forever remain in my heart . May you rest in peace Greg. Our lives and love in the end came full circle and that was a rare thing.

So sorry for your loss! Menge was a great teammate and character guy. I played lax and hockey with him at Colgate and he was a calming force and excellent leader.

I worked with Greg for several years in Boston, always a smile, always a gentleman, never a disparaging word. I remember the times going by his office after everyone had left seeing him working on his MBA. As two new parents we would talk about our children, work, sports. I would then say goodnight and leave him to continue his studies. His work ethic and drive to improve himself and make things better for his family inspired me then as his memory inspires me tonight. Rest in peace, Greg.

Oh how we miss you already. You were our gateway to the beach every summer and so so much more. We will never forget your smile and laughter.

Thank you for being the Best Uncle ever to my kids. Especially Jack as he learned so much from you last summer. They will make you proud of the accomplishments they will attain based on the never quit attitude and work ethic you preached to them.

I was sorry to hear of Greg's passing. I was involved with Greg on several hockey teams in his youth. He was the goale on several teams and I always found him to be dependable and friendly. Although I have not seen him for several years I will always remember the experiences we had. My condolences to his family. He passed from us at a young age. May God hold him in the palm of his hand. I am sorry.

I have known Greg from youthful days of hockey. He was the goalie on several teams that I was involved with. He was always a gentleman and a joy be with. He was very dependable, not to mention he had great talent. I have not seen Greg for a few years but he will always be in my memory. He definitely left us at a age too young. My sincere sympathy to his entire family. May God hold him in the palm of his hand.

I worked with Greg at First Albany in Boston. He was a true gentleman, always kind and respectful to others. I was truly shocked and sad to see that he's passed. May God rest his soul.
