To the entire Hawk Family, I want to extend my most sincere condolences for your loss. I've had the tremendous honor to come to know Gregory Hawk over the last 10 years mostly at professional events and conferences. He was never "Greg" to me...only "Gregory Hawk!" Always dressed as the sharpest man in any room, Gregory Hawk brought his bright light shining from within. He would laugh when he saw me after hearing me say, "Gregory Hawk!" as my enthusiasm for seeing him was always genuine! Over the last decade, Gregory Hawk was one of those individuals I look forward to seeing at professional events. He will be missed! My thoughts are prayers will be with Gregory Hawk and also his beautiful family I´ve never met. Goodspeed, Gregory Hawk! I will see you again, my friend!

So shocked to hear of Coach Hawk's passing. He was our son's golf coach and truly inspired my son to love the game of golf. He was a true gentleman and he taught our son not only golf etiquette but also how to win and lose gracefully. He cared so much for the kids and for the game of golf. My son still loves the game of golf and he will never forget the lessons Coach Hawk to him. My deepest sympathy to his family.

In life, one who has loved and been loved in return never really dies. Greg lives on in the memories of Gina, his sons, grand children, family and friends near and far. For me Greg's birthday June 14th will forever be celebrated with fond memories of casual get togethers, a cup of coffee, a Paula's donut, a good cigar, just plain enjoying each others company. My wish for all who were a part of Greg's life is love, joy, peace, prosperity ... and time to enjoy this life. It pleases me no end to call Greg my friend. Pat

I´m so sad and sorry for your family loss of Greg and all of our loss as friends and colleagues . What a great, nice, professional man. The world was a much better place with Greg´s quiet yet strong influence. I benefited from knowing Greg ad a friendly business competitor first, then friend and most recent years coach and mentor . Greg was one of the most admired, respected and influential individuals I´ve had the true pleasure to know. He spoke of family with love and especially Gina. Also his mother. While I knew Greg for about 16-20 years, I came to think of him as a big brother, a trusted individual who I knew would speak truthfully no matter what the issue. I will miss his influence and consultation , mostly his kindness and friendship. My best wishes of love and grace to you Gina and your entire family.
