You will always be remembered for your great attitude and spontaneous silly side and the joy you brought Linda…
I’ve been friends with Linda for many years. I only had the pleasure of knowing Greg for a short time. But I knew from the first time we met that he was a good decent caring human being. He brought a lot of joy into Linda’s life, as she did his. They were so good for each other. I just wish they had had more time together. To his family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. I know you’re all going to miss him tremendously because you loved him. And I know it hard to understand why he was taken from you so soon but I hope you find a little peace in knowing that he won’t have to suffer anymore.
Greg I will always remember you at our home playing with Hot Wheels with my sister. May you rest in peace.
Will always remember him at our house playing with Hot Wheels with my younger sister. He was always so sweet.
I thank God I was able to meet and know Greg, His sweet, gentle soul was so evident. I will miss him. 🙏🏻
Greg was a kindhearted person and a wonderful friend. Greg and Linda were perfect together and so much fun to be around. I remember when Greg helped Linda and I decorate the table for a ball a couple of years ago. Not too many men help with something like that. He knew exactly what needed to be done! That was very impressive and a tribute to his upbringing. I had the pleasure of meeting his mom and sister Pam at the wedding and you could tell they were really close. Greg and Linda were a great couple and it breaks my heart that this has happened. Greg will always be remembered for being a great person and friend and for his sense of humor. May he rest in peace.
Greg we will miss your great sense of humor and having you spinning around our dance floor! Wonderful memories of the pool party at Carol’s and all our fun times together! Roll tide sweet friend!! We love you!! ❤️
