  10. Working closely through a variety of tasks and projects over the last 27 years, Greg has been to me a teammate, a mentor, an encourager, and an inspirer. We have analyzed and solved problems together, travelled together, and have marveled together over technological developments in our corner of the industrial world. I will miss our conversations; Greg’s continual desire to gain new understanding about technical things was an inspiration to me at work. Topics that might be a yawn to others would grip the two of us with fascination. But most importantly, he was my friend. He was a big man with a big heart, and created friendships everywhere he went, from Fletcher to Montreal to Texas to China and everywhere between. He always worked hard, loved to laugh, and encouraged everyone around him, including me, to be the best they could be. Miss you brother. Praying for God’s blessings on Joey and the family.
