I was just made aware of Greg’s passing. I’m an RN who worked in the PACU in Athens when he was an anesthetist there. He was such a great friend in those days. Very professional but we shared lots of hearty laughs. He was well versed in lots of things. Though I’ve been retired for awhile I never forgot him and thought of him often. My prayers are with all his family.

We were saddened to hear of Greg’s sudden passing.  We will always cherish the many years Greg, Pam and Matthew were our next door neighbors in Athens.  The happy smile and great Greg laughter are etched in our memory.
God Bless the Bickley family.

I was shocked to hear of Greg’s passing. He was like the brother I never had. His sister, Alicia, is my best friend and his family always welcomed me as their own. He was so full of energy, possessing an immense passion for living. He was loving, honest, sincere, and always took a genuine interest in what people had to say - having the ability to immediately put people at ease. I’ll always remember his humor, his kindness, his playfulness, his generosity, and his hilariously boisterous laugh. I’m grateful for the good fortune to have had him in my life and I will miss him dearly. My thoughts are with his family during this time.

Greg was one of my very best friends more like a brother I knew I could always count on him for anything anytime. Pam and Greg,  Barb and I have shared so many of lifes twists and turns, the good the bad, the silly and sad. I'm at a loss.

I can’t believe my hero and childhood partner in crime is really gone.  Greg was the most amazing person I knew growing up and as an adult he was an even more incredible person.   He genuinely held no malice towards others and always sought the good in everyone and everything he encountered.   He made everything lively and fun and he kept our family connected and thriving even after our dad passed away.  

My favorite memories of Greg include his wedding to my fabulous sister-in-law, Pam, and witnessing his absolute delight at the births of his son, Matthew, and grandchildren, Adrian and Max.  

I won’t get used to you being gone, Greg.  I love you more than words can express and will miss you all of my days.  Thank you for being such a great brother.

Greg was one of my favorites to work with, he was jovial, professional, caring and you could just tell how experienced he was. He took on complex case with this ease about him that is hard to find. We will miss him dearly and send his family love and prayers

I worked with Greg in Athens, Ga for many years but more importantly we became great friends. He was such an example to others of how to enjoy life and to be truly happy. To Pam, Matthew and the rest of his family , please know that I am thinking of you during this trying time.

Greg was like no one I’ve ever met before.

Greg was funny without trying. He was hardworking, honest, smart, and he lived his life in such a real, authentic way. He didn’t have to put on anything-he was just genuinely himself, and that made people feel comfortable being themselves too.

He loved people, but he especially loved his family, and he loved them deeply. It was something you didn’t just hear about, you could feel it when you were around him. He was the best grandpa I’ve ever seen, and such an incredible dad… I even begged him to adopt me repeatedly for the last decade.

I loved telling him ridiculous stories just to see his reaction or hear what he’d say. He had this way of being fully present with people-of really sitting with you in whatever you were going through. He was the kind of friend anyone would be lucky to have.

And he was playful in the best way. You could find him bouncing a random ball he’d picked up while watching his grandsons’ games just a big kid at heart.

I will miss his presence. I will miss his laugh. I will miss his happy face and the joy he carried with him everywhere he went.

But most of all, I will miss his hugs.

Greg gave the best hugs. He never said hello or goodbye without giving one or a few. He made me feel loved, included, and valued. And I know he made so many people feel that same way.

Lucky to have known him.
Lucky to have been loved by him.
Lucky to have had him in our lives.

I’m so grateful for everything Greg was, and everything he gave to me and my family. I will carry those memories with me for the rest of my life.

Greg was truly a person who lit up the room when he entered.  You heard him before you saw him because he had a great laugh and laughed often.  When he talked with you, you had his full attention.  When he asked you a question, he really wanted to hear your response.  He was genuine.  The love he and his wife shared was palpable.  His devotion to his family was effortless.  Bob and I consider ourselves lucky to have known him and will miss the energy and happiness that poured out of him.  He was a tremendous man.

Greg and I became friends because our children became friends. The Bickley’s have become a wonderful addition to our family. We have done everything together as family and we enjoy being with each other. We have watched each other grow older and wiser and will continue to do so, as Greg’s memory will continue in our hearts. What a joyous soul Greg has as he wait for us to join his spiritual presents. May God bless the Bickley's and may Greg’s joyous presents continue be us.

I'm so sorry to hear of Greg's untimely passing. He was a colleague of mine in the department of Anesthesiology at Ohio State and was an absolutely joy to work with. He was always friendly, always willing to help a coworker, and always had a positive outlook on everything. Wishing all of Greg's family and friends peace and comfort during this difficult time.

How dull our lives would have been without your presence. We are so very grateful for your love and friendship over the years ❤️
