    Greg had a good heart and was loved by so, so many. My heart goes out to Greg’s son, family, and all his friends. It’s hard to imagine the world without Greg in it. He left the world too young and had so much potential. Greg was a friend to my family through some very tumultuous times and was fiercely loyal. I take solace in knowing Greg is at peace now, something he always sought, but never quite found.

    The joy is in the journey more often than not. Greg’s journey was cut short, but was never short of joy. I am so thankful for the time I had with Greg during his journey. So many stories to tell, so many laughs to remember, far more good times than sad times.

    Cheers, my friend, to your next journey.

    Dear Mike and Jean Ann
    My heart just broke after seeing that Greg passed away. I had Greg in 8th history at OJH. I remember him with fondness although he left a few gray hairs in my head. I can just see him sitting always near my desk. He was a kid you loved because he had a good heart and compassion for others. I am so sorry for your loss. In sympathy
