Gregg was a great guy. I have known him for over 15 years. I worked in the Engineering Department with him. What a world of knowledge that guy had. Loved Charlie. Always came in to visit with Charlie, so we all got to see him grow. Can’t believe he is gone. From his picture he looked great. In better health than the last time I had saw him. Prayers go to his sister and Charlie. RIP Gregg. Hope you are now forever in peace and out of pain.
My heart is heavy. The world has lost a kind, sweet and giving man.
I feel blessed to have known Greg. I will remember his smile and his sense of humor. My heart goes out to his family. He will be missed by all that knew him.

There will never be another man like Gregg. His life was difficult but he always had a smile and made people around him laugh. He loved Charlie dearly and was an awesome dad with endless patience. He touched so many of us in such a positive way. He was always willing to help anyone, but never accepted help for himself. Gregg, you were so special to so many people. You are sorely missed and the world is worse off for you departure. Fly high, fly free my friend!!!
Greg I always admired you for the stress you had to do things on your own and refuse help when it was a physical situation you were always independent. You’re a hero. I will never forget the day that we went skydiving together in Newport. What an experience that was. And you were the first to go without question. You’re a brave man strong man smart and caring. The way you took care of your disability and took care of Charlie at the same time could only be from a strong man Brave man. You have many many friends that know this. Please remember our skydiving day it was the most rememberable day of my life. Thank you Greg
I’m almost at a loss for words because I could go on and on.
You will be tremendously missed by so many.
Sending prayers to Charlie, Kim and Scott and the rest of your family and tons of friends.
It’s so hard to believe that you are gone. Rest in Paradise buddy. I’m praying for you and your family
