I am so sorry to hear that Greg has passed away. He was a genuine, soft-spoken, and kind person. He was blessed to have a true talent for upholstering furniture. Greg was a child of God, and he was sent here to bless many people for a while, but he will be loved in Heaven for an eternity. He is comforted in the arms of the angels. I hope that you, his precious family, can find peace and comfort in knowing that Greg has gone home to be with our Savior, and even though your grief might seem unbearable at times, God loves you.
I am so sorry to hear about Gregs passing.He was a very good man.He now has peace and is in a much better place. All my prayers to Judy and Brad along with the rest of the family.
Greg was a talented craftsman with a keen eye to detail and a love for vintage collectibles. But most of all he was a close friend who helped me at home with so much this past year. I will miss you.
Greg has been a part of my life for 20 plus years. We shared alot of good times. Our closest times were in the 90’s when we attended meetings together and went to church together at Grace Episcopal Church. These times will forever live in my heart. I am so sorry for your loss as Greg’s family. But I am glad that Greg knew the Lord and that you can find comfort in knowing that he is in Heaven where there will be joy forevermore….God bless each of you…
Just read about Greg’s passing in the paper this morning. We know this will be a difficult time for you, please know that we care & hope you will lean on those who care for strength. God is a loving god and will strengthen you w/the Holy Spirit as you go thru this time. Judy & Brad, you know we love you both, you are both ‘special’ to our family.

Our deepest condolences to the family of Greg. We are saddened to hear of this loss, and Greg will be greatly missed. We pray that God be with you during this difficult time.
Brad and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Judy and the whole family. I’m so sorry for your loss. Sometimes when GOD calls up someone so young, I like to think, while it takes seventy or so years to prepare most of our mansions, it only takes a short while for the ‘Gregs’ of the world. Greg didn’t need an elaborate mansion… Just one in GOD’s neighborhood. May you all find peace knowing Greg is in GOD’s Hands.
