That was a beautiful tribute. Greg used to bring mouthwash samples to the QC lab for me to test many years ago. He was a very kind man. Very sorry to hear of his passing. May God bless his family and friends.

Kelly & Family,
May our Lord and Savior be with all of you in your time of sorrow. Greg was always a good person to talk to at work. We would talk about the good and bad times alike. How our families were doing and what issues of the day were happening. May we all have fond memories of Greg and the zany things that he did! So long Mr. Wilson till we meet again.
