To Gregs family and readers of his obit...i haven't seen him for 40 years, since we graduated YorkHigh...we travelled in different circles but went to the same shop classes. What a gentle personality. He was always nice, pleasant to be around and we exchanged senior pictures....i can tell he maintained that cool countenance. R.I.P. Bruh

Greg or to me you were "Sammi". You were like a big brother to me when you and my brother Butch were buds. I remember the fun at basketball games and just hanging out! I am glad i was able to run into you at the Vault last year, hard to believe it was going to be the last time i would see you around. I pray you and Butch have now been reunited in heaven and that you will be resting in peace!
