Greg was a very fine person and lawyer. I met him when I was in Sanford in paralegal school; he taught a couple of my classes. We became friends then (1977) and stayed in touch over the years, running into each other in the courthouse or talking via FB. I had the privilege of working for him for a short time in the PDO. He loved his family and they were most important to him, he was so gentle, yet had such a fierce gusto for justice and the Dallas Cowboys! I pray for comfort for all of his family, this office and his friends during this time. He will be missed by many.

It is with deep regret and sorrow that I express my condolences and send my prayers and thoughts to Greg's family and many friends. I knew Greg forever, shared many exciting moments with him and always admired his commitment to the practice of law and his deep relentless concern for protecting the rights of African Americans and other persons charged with crimes. Greg has always been a dear friend and his absence is going to be missed. He leaves behind a devoted family and a shining legacy and memories that we all should be proud of and seek to remeber and emulate. I was shocked at the news of his transition to his heavenly home and reward. Along with so many others, I have lost a friend, but he remains as an inspiration and a true and devoted Legal Eagle.

I have not seen Greg for a very long time, but over the years I have thought of him often. I knew him pretty well when his law office was right across the hall from mine. I remember when he was offered the job of Federal Public Defender. He was very happy to leave private practice, because he believed he would be able to try cases full time. He was a gifted lawyer that to some was not immediately apparent upon first meeting him. He could be very laid back, and unpretentious. I am sure that some state DA's discovered his ability the hard way over the years. When I knew him, you could tell from word and deed that he was a devoted family man. I am very sorry to learn of his death. Gary Isenhour, Attorney
