I regret only now learning of Greg's passing. Greg was one heck of a positive and upbeat fellow, and will be missed by everybody.

Dear Eloise and Kevin -- I prepared a Guest Book entry on Monday but apparently I did something incorrectly. I just want you two to know that Dale and I are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. I read all of the previous Guest Book entries and was touched by how much Greg was loved by so many. We have good memories of our few short visits with him and he was always a delight -- so funny and so caring and so creative. You two have had too many losses and we grieve with you but know that God will give you both the strength to carry on. Keep in touch please and we would love to have you visit with us if that is possible. Jennifer and her family also send condolences to you and to our Dear Aunt Sis. Love and prayers, Cousin Susy and Dale

I was so sorry to hear of Greg's death.
He and I were classmates and great friends at NCSU. I met Greg my freshman year and we were friends until
we graduated. I lost touch with him and regret I didn't know what kind of man he had become. I remember lots of good times shared in college and the frequent rides we shared together back to Winston through college. My heart and my prayers go
out to his family and friends. I know he is in a better place and that we will all meet again. I will
miss that wonderful smile, that great laugh, and his love for people. You will forever be in my heart, Greg. Love, Angie (Wade)

Greg was one of the finest people I've ever known. I'll miss his kindness, zest for living, and hearty laugh. But most of all, I'll miss his presence in my life and the positive way he affected others.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

It was such a shock to hear of Greg's death and just sickened me that I lost touch with him after highschool and college. I wish I had heard sooner so I could have come up for the funeral. My heart goes out to his friends and family.

I will miss Greg very much. He was always responsive and responsible to my patients and families who requested his services. What a great service he offered to families in need. He was such a positive and cheerful person. I am better for knowing him.
