Greg and had one thing in common, we loved the old west. Greg was an avid historical reenactor and would research his character in order to put on a believable performance. He was a very close friend of mine. After he moved to Colorado we maintained that friendship and would contact each other quite often. On a trip to Pueblo to visit some relatives my wife Camy and I stopped in Colorado Springs to visit with he and Bonnie. Camy commented after that Greg was a very nice person and that she was glad to have met him and Bonnie. I will always cherish the fond memories of Greg and I. I will miss you partner, you put up one good fight but the Lord Jesus wanted you in heaven and called you to his side. Happy trails my friend. 

I remember growing up with Greg living on the same street -  Madelena Drive in La Habra.  My younger brother and Greg were close friends growing up and competing on the same high school swim/water polo team. Ric and I are happy we were in touch with Greg last year - God bless Greg's soul.

I will always remember Greg’s love of swimming. We have so many memories from his family’s pool from the neighborhood.   We were fortunate to share summer vacations in Lake Tahoe with his family. May his soul Rest In Peace. 

Our sympathies sent to you and yours. We got to know Greg when he moved to West Alexandria, Ohio. Have thoroughly enjoyed his talent, his love for authentic history, his love of his family, and most of all his laughter!  Having been plagued with ill health these past years didn’t keep him from dancing though! We will miss our phone conversations, since he moved to Colorado. Rest In Peace my friend.
Buster and Janet

Our Dear Brother will not be forgotten.  He was incredibly talented, warm hearted, creative, dynamic.  He was a talented Architect.  He loved History and Reenactment groups.  He was a hilarious too.  I can still hear his laughter.  He is with Jesus. Mom and several family members that have passed.  Dad and your Sisters Cary you in our heart and will see you again.
