It has been a while UG, but I know you know I think of you often, and still talk about you to anyone who will listen. 

Give the family a hug for me please. 

Love KJ

Miss you. Spoke with Patti on the 4th, she misses you too. 
Give everyone a big hug from me.


Hi UG

Now Mum is with you please give her a hug from me. 

I'm sure Mum knows how much I'm missing her but tell her anyway.

Love you UG & Mum
KJ :) 

It's been five years without you Bugsy. Missing you so much. Love always

Hi Again UG, 

I know you know I've now become a Grams, (stop laughing) making you a Great, Great Uncle. 

I'm positive you are proud & shocked!

Spent time with mum & JL Battabing Battaboom recently, they both behaved. I finally got my photo with you while staying at mums - I think you'd approve of it.

Miss you!
Love everyday KJ : )

I think of you so often just as I have for the past many years.  I miss you.  I just miss you so much.  I wanted a little more time with you and it just didn't happen.  I am thankful for the time I had with you, though I wished for more. Love you always.

Hey UG
I miss you, I miss your cheeky emails, I miss being able to ring you in the middle of my night when things are feeling just way too much.

This year people close to me have lost their loved ones, (you know who they are) when their loved ones reach you please help them find their way. Brenda especially ... thank you.

Yep the strange but adorable KJ ;)

Greg, 
I have a feeling that somewhere out there you are going to be able to read this. So I admit it.. I forgot your birthday "again!!".... I can only imagine what you would say to me.. probably something about beating me with a wet noodle. I miss you so much. And I know it's ridiculous but I  still look in the grocery isle for Tomato preserves for you. I think of you often, I pray for you too. I know that you are praying for me and looking out for me as well. I love you.

Happy Birthday Bugsy
Miss you so much every day. I have so much to tell you.

Wed 4th Feb (in Oz)

Today will always be a difficult day, you are SO easy to love & now easier to be SO angry at. 

JL Battabing Battaboom still sheds a tear when hearing stories about you. 

I miss you so very much UG, but most of all it's Mum I'm thinking of, I wish I could sit with her & help her get through this day.

Hard to believe it was almost 55 years ago that I looked you up at the Durkee truck dock here in Chicago. Wanting to know all about Australia. You came into our lives as a good and loving friend, our daughters always claimed you were there big brother. As time went on you came and went into our lives for the next 55 years, we always saw you as the brother/friend. You will be missed.
Love yeah, Slim, Dar, Deb, and dirty face, (Sharon)

   Met Greg in El Paso in 1972 when I was on the road, a chance meeting, hoped I would bump into him again, alas, No.   I have some very good memories, even if short
   Im sure if I asked him to comment on life, he would have answered
 "  When life serves you eggs, have them scrambled "

Greg, you are still so much missed and lovingly remembered.  Judy

It's been a year and I miss you more than ever. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

It has been almost a year and I still think of Greg and miss him very much.

Almost a year has passed and I still think of Greg and miss him.

I find it very very moving that Greg leaves a very clear trail showing his meaningful progress through life. Gives me hope that whoever we are, and however pale we might think our own trail is, someone somewhere will continue to give a bugger when it's stopped.

I spent 4 years with Gregg as our unofficial coach at UTEP.  He always went
out of his way to help us out, even if I was from New Jersey!  He always had a great disposition, that we enjoyed being with.  From what I remember he was a very good Javelin thrower in Aust.  His coaching was one of the big reasons that
Peter Farmer and Emmit Barry did as well
as they did.  Over all I'd have to say
that he left this world a better place,
and we will all miss him.  On my last visit to El Paso I found him in a bad situation with his health, and he never
complained about it.  All I can say is that I was lucky to know Greg Glynn.
Hope to see you again Buddy.

Greg was my late son's best friend for many years, and then became a wonderful friend to me. After Jeff died, Greg could empathize with me in a way no one else could because he, also, had lost his only child. 
He gave me valuable information and guidance about so many things - cell phones, plumbing, electricity, exercises, muscles and more. He also gave me the feeling that I could make a difference in his life by doing some errands for him and by looking for food items that he liked. I felt honored that Greg believed that he could rely on a woman in her 80's to do these things.
I will miss our discussions about sports, books, old TV shows, music and politics, but, most of all, I will miss his courage, his sense of humor and his kindness.
Greg Glynn was a true gentleman in every way. His passing came too soon.

Such memories from my youth in company of Patti and Robyn. Precious indeed. Moira Dean in Hampshire UK

I'm writing this missing you so much. You made the world so much brighter in every sense of the word. I thought you'd be here forever... I wish I'd had a chance to thank you for everything you did for me. -Anonymous

Greg took me for the best breakfast in Texas, at Lucy's, in the 1990s. A close, long-term mutual friend had us meet during a journey through El Paso, and we clicked. He showed me what life is like in that corner of the world, and his keen wit, wicked humour and wide-ranging interests remain very clear in my mind. Vale, Greg. The world is richer for your journey through it.

Greg,
You were 14, I was 16, when we joined the same tennis team which began a lifelong friendship.  You tried to improve my overhead, we exchanged books, you wrote poetry, you abandoned fear when you rode as passenger on my Vespa, you taught me to drive a car - your car, and we embarked on our own separate adventures leaving Australia the same year.  We were never out of touch or out of mind.  
So long, my Huckleberry friend - but never goodbye.
Patricia Payne Schiller, Studio City, CA.

An incredible friend and wonderful inspiration to all that knew and loved him him. He touched so many with his spirit and will always hold a place in my heart. I will never forget you Greg!

My deepest condolences go out to the Glynn family.  I was so blessed to be able to call Greg my friend.  I will cherish the memories we shared.  He was a very special person.  I will miss him so very much.
  Respectfully yours, Zilia Ramirez

My thoughts and prayer are for Greg and his family. You were truly a great and caring gentleman and a true friend to our family. May god bless you Greg and your family with peace and healing. 

R.I.P Gregory Dennis Glynn

I also want to say that my prayers are for Greg's family..  I pray they will find comfort and peace.  
Life is so brief.  Treasure every moment.

I met Greg when he was at OCU.  We became very close and even when he moved to El Paso, we stayed in touch. I made trips to El Paso and he came to see me in Oklahoma .  His last letter to me was to tell me he was returning home to Australia.  Our paths took different directions, but he remained in my heart.  I always thought of him and wondered how he was.  When he returned to America he couldn't find me and I thought he was in Australia.   In 2008 I found him in El Paso and we kept in touch ever since.  It is very difficult to believe he is gone. I'm thinking of what to say and how to explain how I feel about Greg. A song has come to my mind and I want to write the lyrics here.
"Without you there'd be no angels, no rainbows when rain fell, no smile when I'm blue.  Without you, I'd be so selfish. I'd have no one to tell wishes or secrets to. There'd be no tomorrows I could walk to.  There'd be only sorrow and walls to talk to.  Without you my heart would be sleeping, but not in your keeping, where it ought to be.   Without you."
Greg always encouraged me and I hope he knew how much I appreciated him.
He will be greatly missed, but he remains in my heart.

To Uncle Greg I wish I had got to know you better.  Its feels like a real loss that I didn't.  Talking to mum I know you had many people that cared and loved you. May you R.I.P

I enjoyed Greg's unwavering friendship for more than 30 years.  I left El Paso in 1980, but we stayed in touch almost daily, thereafter.  I credit him for improving my mind, helping me to think in different ways, challenging me to do a little better with all things, kindling my imagination, and teaching me the meaning and value of being a true friend.  I will miss him every day for the rest of my time on earth.

All my heart-hugs to his family and friends.

Greg I will miss you more than you can ever imagine. Thank you for being  my friend and for always being there for me. My condolences to Stephanie, Kiely and to all of his nieces,  nephews and God children...He was truly loved.

Rest in peace UG, we will miss you but you will always be in our hearts and our memories.  Love Kirsty

"My friend, I will miss you.  Ever since the kids started calling you "Uncle Bug", you were a big part of our family. You will always be in our hearts.  Rest in peace."

Dear Step and Kiely,
I know that you know how much our family loved Greg.  He will remain in heart and mind ALWAYS.  He was much more lovable than cantankerous, if you can believe that.  Deepest Sympathy, Judy John and Frank Luevanos.

I love you so much, wish I could tell you, but I know you know. You were more than just a godfather to me, you meant as much to me as a Dad and have been significant and inspirational in my life like no other...I will take with me always your kind words, guidance and thoughts of wisdom wherever I go and hope that wherever your spirit may rest you will be happy and know that you were greatly loved. RIP your goddaughter Kristen xxx

My brother Greg left Australia almost 50 years ago, and I think I've always missed having a big brother, never more than now. Thank you to all his friends, his American family who have looked after and loved him in the meantime. Your thoughts and prayers for his grieving Australian family are appreciated.

Malcolm (and Jennie) Glynn

Our prayers for peace and comfort are with the Glynn family at this time.
Kathy and Neville (Snow) Denning.
