My heart breaks for family & friends who will miss Greg and I'm full of great blessings to have known him. he truly made the world a better place. we only have a short time on this earth & he made the most of his. Loved his enthusiasm in everything he did. Gods peace to all

My Heartfelt condolences to Greg's family. Greg was the kindest man. He and I used to talk about family and basketball, both having sons who played. He enjoyed playing as well, especially with his sons. We would share stories about our kids, their sports, and the bucks/packers. It was always so nice to catch up with him when he would come to Staff. He will be missed.

Greg was such a beautiful and gentle soul. He was the purest human being that I ever met. He was so talented and smart and such a great athlete, I played tennis with him few times and I was never able to beat him and towards the end his life we played golf and even though he was weak, he played really well. I truly enjoyed being with him and I will miss him. God bless your soul my friend
