Thank you, Paul, for writing your story about Greg. I was sad to hear about his death, but also know that he had a lot of health problems and is now at peace.

I am sorry for your loss, Paul.  I never knew him well, but he certainly accomplished a lot during his life.

I didn't know Greg well, but I remembered him from American history class.  You knew he loved history by listening to him.  I am sorry Paul you lost such a good friend.  In high school kids can be very cruel, but I'm so glad Greg was still able to have such a great life.  It seems that through it all his love for God made him a better person than many and gave him strength to enjoy life.  I am sorry I missed the wake and funeral as I had to work and I live in Wisconsin.  But I will remember Greg for his wonderful kindness.   Pat

I too am missing Greg. In high school I guess I was one of the few who really got to know him. We had the pleasure of arguing with each other in Debate Club. Over the years we lost track of each other, but met up again at the last reunion and had remained friends ever since. I got a chance to know his beautiful wife and kids as we got together with Greg and his family several times for lunch and dinner. We talked many times on the phone and he was always there for me if I needed anything. I'm so glad that my company had the opportunity to provide Greg and his family with a wonderful family portrait before he passed away. He will definitely be missed and it's sad that some of the kids in high school never got the chance to know such a wonderfully talented man.
