Thanks for the laughs and times I just wanted to strangle you. I will truly miss you dearly. Words cannot express the feelings that are happening to all of us, but you taught us that strength, love and humor keeps a person going to the end. I will miss our visits and arguments that always ended with a kiss or slap on the head, your head of course. Thanks for being my older brother for the last 58 years. I hope you take a ride in my Falcon up there for old time sake. I love and miss you. Give everyone a kiss for me.

If I were to count every tear that has fallen, it wouldn't even add up to half the pain I feel for losing my dear Uncle Greg. He truly was an inspiration, he struggled the entirety of my life and yet still kept a smile on his face. He was always there when I needed him, and will be in my heart forever. Though he's gone he will never be forgotten by his niece, his sister, or his brother-in-law. His mother is caring for him once again.

Very sad news about Greg. He will be missed by his family and friends. He was a great guy who loved to laugh. He was always very positive about life no matter the situation. I will always remember the great times we had at Lewis and as Friars. We also had a great time bowling together. May Greg rest in peace.

"We're only dancing on this earth for a very short time." My dear cousin, Greg's time was shorter than most, but it's the quality of life he enjoyed. A loving family is a gift to be cherished always. My condolences to all who grieve at his passing.
