My best Childhood Friend that spanned more than childhood for the decades 1950s through 2020s. He was the absolute best Friend a person could have!

Greg was a neighbor and classmate of myself and Phil Coad. His musical talent always made in awe. He shared that talent with us at our wedding. We attended Hasson Height Presbyterian church together. Thinking about Greg just makes me smile. I hope that his loved ones have many memories of him to also do so.

My most sincere condolences to your loving wife, Kris, and your daughter Ellen, and Son Bennett and to your extended Family! Greg - you are a true friend! As others can similarly attest, you have been my most dedicated of Friends - warm in Heart, kind in Spirit, and my goodness, we could laugh for days together, reading and laughing at Gary Larsen cartoons, whenever we visited each other. I was fortunate to live within the same neighborhood with you, Greg; we were the best of friends - as we cycled together (we had Ten Speed bikes long before becoming popular in town) and we spent our Summers together at local playgrounds, as well as spending time together at your Family´s Summer cottage in Ahrensville on the Allegheny River. We remained close friends throughout our College years and, thankfully, especially after we retired from our long careers. May you rest in Peace, Greg - until we meet again!
