Greg was a man who was firm when he thought it was necessary, but his heart was as big as they come. When I became widowed Greg (& Pat) took over being a father to my children. Teaching them what it means to be a family, also right from wrong. As my kids would say he was there when we all needed help We all new without a doubt he cared for our family. We will never forget him.

May your suffering be over and your love and strength live on in all who knew and loved you. I'll always remember you as just that, my Uncle, an example of strength and determination, a man that accepted obstacles and challenges and succeeded in overcoming them, a true patriarch of family. And Something felt in even your handshake, which I'll remember trying to match since childhood, love you Uncle Greg
