I was very deeply saddened to hear the news about Greg. Greg was always "solid as a rock" and also one of the kindest persons I have ever met. He is the type of person who we should all try to be more like.

Thanks for the wonderful memories from the softball diamond. You were an awesome teammate and a person I always looked up to.

Dad, you will be missed tremendously by all of your family, friends, and everyone lucky enough to have the pleasure of knowing you. You have been the absolute best father I could ever ask for, and to say you've been an inspiration would be an enormous understatement. You are my idol and my hero and I pledge to do you proud, as you have always done me. I LOVE YOU DAD

Greg has been missed for some time by myself and many others at Diamond. We all were thinking good thoughts and were saddened to hear the news of his passing.

I considered him my I83 buddy. We always looked out for each other on our way to & from work. He was a great person for Diamond and made the HR dept. so much better. I will miss his smiling face.
