Greg was a close friend in High School. I’ll always remember his sense of humor. So sorry to hear of his passing. I am sure he is making them laugh in heaven.

May the Peace of God, which surpasses understanding, comfort and bless you at this difficult time. I was a fellow Robert Newlon Airport pilot when Greg and his brother Larry flew their sailplanes there. I remember one day when Greg calmed me when I was angry at someone over a misunderstanding. He touched my life in a very positive way. I also remember the day he flew his yellow sailplane after it had undergone some re-covering. What a beautiful sight. May he rest in peace. The world needs more people like Greg.
