I got to know Greg better this year since we started working together more closely at the command.  In a short time, he made a big impression.  I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from him.  To his family and friends, I pray for comfort and healing.  Each passing day, may we continue to remember all the things, big and small, that made Greg so special.  He will be missed!

My thoughts and Prayers go out to Denise and the entire Sammarco Family. GOD BLESS!!!!!

To Greg's family, I would like to express my deepest sympathy for your loss.   Greg enjoyed life and always brought laughter into every situation and he will be missed.

We all mourn the passing of a friend, a husband, a father. One of us mourns the loss of a son, six of us mourn the loss of a brother. Greg will remain in our hearts forever.

RIP Greg. My prayers are with the family and friends. Greg was a great person and I truly enjoyed working with him during my tour at NIOC Pensacola. God Bless.....................

I was fortunate to have worked closely with Greg during my tour at NIOC Pensacola.  I considered Greg a partner in my duties as Ops Department Leading Chief Petty Officer and we worked together to take care of the Sailors in Ops department.  I am deeply saddened by his passing.

I will miss his voice ringing down the hallways - he always greeted me with a big smile or a hearty laugh. He was a very fine man to work with. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

To the Sammarco family, heartfelt condolences for your loss. Greg was a great co-worker, and served as a great mentor, and definitely looked out for the people that worked with.

To the Sammarco family, I will keep you in my prayers, and trust that God will bring you comfort during your time of sorrow. Greg will be missed, but never forgotten.

Though we were distant in miles as adults, as my big brother Greg was and will always remain forever deep and close in my heart and soul.

POEM FOR THE GRIEVING...
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die...


Gone too soon ......

Greg - you will be sorely missed brother!  May God be with you and your family during this difficult time. It was a pleasure serving with you shipmate!

Greg was a true friend and great Shipmate! We'll miss you.

I have passed the mountain peak and my soul is soaring in the firmament of
Complete and unbounded freedom; I am in comfort, I am in peace.....

I've worked with him closely in the last couple of years, and I will miss him.  He had the same devotion and heartfelt concern for "his" Sailors in civilian life that he surely had as a Chief.  Fair winds, Shipmate.

Very sad for your loss.  He was a good man who will be greatly missed.

To the Sammarco family, my thoughts and prayers go out to you all. Greg was a genuine mentor to all, especially the junior Sailors that were a part of N7. He fought to ensure that all Sailors had a voice and were fairly treated. Thank you for all that you have done and the time and effort you have dedicated to our country.

Greg was a great man who contributed so much to so many Shipmates over the years.  I will forever remember the numerous laughs we shared, the countless healthy jabs we volleyed back and forth, and the many reasons he gave me and so many others to smile.  He truly cared about each of his Shipmates.  I consider myself extremely fortunate to have shared 25 months with him as members of the NIOC Pensacola Team. I'll continue to think of Greg each time I polish my boots, he sure knew how to make them shine.  Forever "The Chief"...

To the family of Greg,  I'd like to express my deepest sympathy and regret at Greg's untimely passing. He was a genuine friend and Chief who will be missed.

Very Respectfully, Mike

We were so sorry to hear of your loss.  The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

On behalf of the Sailors and Civilians of the NIOC Pensacola team Greg worked with, I'd like to express our deepest sympathies and regret at Greg's passing.  We grieve with Denise and the entire Sammarco family.  Friday we lost a shipmate and valued member of our navy family who has touched so many of our Sailors' lives.  Greg dedicated his adult life to serving his country both in and out of uniform and trained or mentored so many over the course of his career.  Because of this his lasting contributions to the navy and our command will endure.  Please accept our sincerest possible sympathies.  Greg will be sorely missed.   

Commander Pat Count, USN 
Commanding Officer, NIOC Pensacola.
