I just received a call about Pat. Unfortunately, I am living in Baton Rouge, LA and caring for my mother. I moved her from the neighborhood in September 2005, but I tell the doctors that she is on God's time. I told her about Pat and our prayers are with the family. It's been a long time since growing up in the Kenwood Townhouse Gardens.

Good morning, I was unable to attend the services but wanted to express my heartfelt sympathy for the family. I have had the opportunity to meet and travel w/the family to Jamaica at a wedding and have seen him on the job and he was ALWAYS an outstanding person and treated us just like family. I will miss him although he is in the best place.

The United Negro College Fund truly lost a very strong advocate and friend. Greg was a dedicated volunteer and leader who took the UNCF Chicago Walkathon to major financial success because of his efforts to increase City of Chicago employee involvement. We will miss him.
