I grew up with Greg on 79th and Kildare. We were best buddies for 15 years during grammar and high school. We then split and went our separate ways only to both end up on the Chicago Police Department. We had lots of fun together and got into lots of trouble together. Greg, you are gone but not forgotten. Rest In Peace my friend and enjoy eternal life. To Marylyn, Tom and Susan I offer my sincere condolence to you and your families. I have many great memories of growing up in St. Bedes neighborhood with you guys and Greg.
