I worked with Greg at Armstrong for many years. He was a good friend and he cared about people he work with. He came to visit with me when I was in the Hospital years ago. I will not forget him.

Dear Kathy, Nathaniel and Elise –
Greg was a dear cousin to me. He was always kind and supportive of my goals, especially encouraging me to progress in my running. He shared a birthdate with my father, his Uncle Jim, and I remember fondly many a dinner together with the two birthday boys and Aunt Pris and Uncle John. He was loved and will be missed.
My heart and prayers go out to you during this time.
Cousin Diane
