Even though we didn’t see each other as often Greg always remained one of my best friends. Two years could pass and it would be like no time at all. I can’t imagine a world without him. He will be deeply missed.

We had just spoke on social media earlier that day of our fondest memories together and the last thing you said was “It will forever live in my head”.. You will forever live in my heart Greg. We had been friends since 1992. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and loved ones.

I don’t have a whole lot of good friends, now I have lost my best one. You were more of a brother to me. I have not grieved this much in a very long time. You will always be in my thoughts for the rest of my time here but there will be a large empty spot in my life.
Charles and Kay, You can be proud that Greg meant so much to all of his friends and they thought the world of him.
Liz Moran says
I can’t imagine the MSO without Greg, but I know his family is wondering how they’ll get through life without him. My deepest sympathies go out to them. What a terrible loss of a terrific guy!
