There was an empty chair at the holiday table this year, but it was filled with loving memories. We miss you more than words can say......your smile and love of family will be cherished by all of us and you will be in my heart and soul for ever. Love you......

Missing you more than words can express. You are always in my thoughts and heart. I will love you forever.

Joan, I am so sorry for you loss of the fantastic guy you married. He was one of the really good guys and I am teary now hearing about Greg passing. He was one of my very special friends. I was the one that recommend him to CA because I knew his talents and his personality would fit right in with us. He had a unique talent in his field and he had an even more wonderful woman that loved him. I remember when ya'll sorta were hanging out at Bennigans as a couple he was so happy and it showed, as you did. You both were so lucky to have shared all that love and happiness. I will never forget HIM, nor YOU. Best wishes to one of my buddys forever. I  know that you have family and friends that are grieving and helping .

I don't know what to say.  We are so very sorry to hear the sad news.  We have lost a dear friend.  I am so thankful to have spoken with him and laughed with him recently.  Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I can't even imagine the loss you are feeling. I know how much you loved my brother and how much he loved you. Before he moved in with you, we spent hours on the phone talking about you. Thank you for coming to the 'left coast' after Christmas for all those years. It gave us a chance to really get to know you even though you lived on the 'right coast'. Thank you for getting married in Reno so we could share your special day.
When we were little, Mom always made him hold my hand. He continued to hold my hand years later. He was always there for me when I needed his help, assistance or wisdom. 
I want to thank your family for accepting him into their hearts. It was very comforting to know he was loved when he was so far from our home. Please give my condolenses to your family and I am thankfull they accepted him into their lives. I know this is hard on your grandkids.
And now back to you - you were a God Send to Greg. I can never thank you enough for all you did for him. I will love you forever...

I am so sorry.  Greg was a wonderful guy -- smart, funny, and knew how to have fun.  It's a terrible loss, and I'm sure you are deeply hurt.  

I won't be able to attend the viewing or funeral, but my thoughts and prayers will be with you.  Please let me know if there's anything I can do for you or your family.

Hi Joan.  I am so sorry to hear the news of Greg's passing.  I completely understand that things are hectic and very emotional.  I hope that Greg's passing was quiet and peaceful, and I'll keep you both in my prayers.  Blessings, Jim.

Hi Joan...  I just heard tonight about Greg.  I am so very sorry.  I did not even know he was sick.  He is at peace now.  I wish you all the best and am thinking about you.  Love, Bill

I am so sorry to hear that Greg passed away. He was a very good man and will be sorely missed. I really enjoyed working with him and the friendship we built. I hope you are doing well. How are all the kids and grand kids? Thank you for reaching out. My best wishes to you and your family.

There are no words to describe how saddened we are by Greg's passing. We were so very honored to have known Greg and experience his always smiling face and his wonderful personality. To all his family...please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.  We will forever be grateful for the love and friendship you have given us.

You are and always will be 'my little tulip'.....

It's been almost a month and I miss you more than words can express...

My Greggie-Poo: you were an unbelievable man....kind, sweet as can be, funny, brilliant, generous, loving....I could go on and on. I will remember your smile and laugh forever.  We had so many great times together and those memories are precious to me. Joan, cherish your memories (as we will) and they will get you through this difficult time. We are there for you always. We will miss you Greg so very much. And yes, we will root for the 49er's as long as they are not playing the Redskins - then all bets are off!  Love you and miss you.  Your Helena!

I was disheartened to hear of Greg's passing. Deep sorrow comes to mind. Greg was a good and kind man who loved life. I am blessed for all he did for me. Joan, be strong. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.                                                      Bobby DeLong (Texas)

We have no words to express how deeply sorry we are to hear about Greg.  Our thoughts and prayers will be with you during this difficult time.

The other day we were cleaning the Andalucia house after our seasonal renters left and we were talking about how long it had been since we had seen you.

Please accept our most heartfelt sympathy.
Bronwyn and Joe

My Heart is Heavy to hear this sad news today!

I send word to my parents to find him and show him around ok He will be missed Dearly!

Joan, I remember very fondly all our dinners at Carabba's when i was in Islandia.  Greg was a great friend and I know how much he will be missed.  Wish I could have been there for you, but know you are in my heart and mind everyday.   Stay strong just as he would have wanted you to..Love Lorraine

Dear Joan,

I have wonderful memories of Greg from the time he joined CA as he was a top-notch software developer and a person of high integrity.  I liked and respected him a lot and he is a great loss to all of us, to CA, and especially to you.

All the best to you,

Joan and family, my condolences on your loss. I have fond memories of working with Greg and can honestly say that I benefitted professionally from having worked with him. I appreciated his patience, mentorship and willingness to share his wealth of knowledge. In this time of sorrow, know that he did make an impact on many who knew and worked with him.

Greg was truly one of a kind. I have never met anyone more respected and admired, professionally and personally, for his intelligence, integrity, honesty, patience, generosity, kindness, modesty, sense of humor... I can go on and on. I have always felt privileged to be considered his friend and I will miss him terribly. 

When I think of Greg I will always be reminded of; home theater systems, sci-fi action movies, the 49'ers and Giants (SF), BBQ hamburgers, Super Bowl chili, Budweiser, the VSE System Adapter, and his GREGLY license plate.

Regina and I are grateful for all the time we were able to spend with Greg over the years, especially all of the first Friday dinners. There are so many memories that we will cherish forever.

Joan, I am deeply sorry to hear of your loss. Greg was always something special at work or at play. I will always remember the times we had doing both.

Joan, sorry for your loss. Greg will be missed. In the 20+ years of knowing  him, he always had a smile for everyone. Loved ones never really leave us, they stay in our hearts forever whether it be in pictures, mementos,or memories.

I am profoundly sorry to hear of Greg's passing. Greg and I worked side by side as the “two VSE guys”. But Greg was the real article. His skill was second no one I have ever seen. But more important than all this was Greg's quiet kindness. Always there and with a truly dry but sharply wicked humor. He was an example of honest humility, and I will miss him.

Joan, I am very sorry to hear of Greg's passing and my thoughts are with you and your family at this time. He had a smile that could light up a room, and I know that in time your pain will heal and you will be left with wonderful memories of a great guy who was well respected by all who knew him.

Joan and family, I am so very sad that Greg has passed.  We were co-workers who became good friends.  Greg was a kind, even-tempered, humble and extremely intelligent man.  He often happily shared software tips and tricks with me, and he could always figure out clever solutions for problems encountered in the work we did.  There was nothing he enjoyed better than a lunch visit with you, Jess and the boys.  My deepest condolences on this enormous loss.


Greg,
I am thankful that you were a part of my life. I will treasure many fond memories. 
I remember asking for your blessing to marry Yvonne. Thank you for saying “yes” (after initially saying “no”, smiling, and laughing). It was the first time that I experienced your great sense of humor. 
Thank you for welcoming me into your family and home. My first time seeing a firefly was right in your backyard.
Thank you for the many spirited conversations, whether about baseball, football, vacations, or politics, they were memorable. 
Thank you for laughing at my longwinded stories and bad jokes.
Thank you for being my Father-in-law, and just being you.

I remember the green grassy fields
the fresh chalk-lines on dirt
jeans torn from sliding
leather mitts worn soft

I remember the lights at the ballpark
the summer nights hot
cleats upon your feet
a bat resting on your shoulder

I remember men running bases
reliving the glory days like teenagers
I wait on the bench
the dirt floored dugout under my feet

I remember you
the homerun hitter
the outfield player
my dad.

~ Yly

These were the glory days with the Richmond Athletic Club, Richmond, California

Joan, We are deeply saddened about Paul's Passing, there are no words. If you need anything please call me day or night. Paul was a wonderful person. I will pray for you and your family.

Joan and family - I'm terribly sorry for your loss, please accept my deepest condolences. I first worked with Greg back in Garden City and  was immediately impressed by how humble he was considering he was this big shot developer from the west coast. He was one of the nicest and humblest people that I've ever known. He was extremely competent and hardworking, you could always count on Greg when things got rough. I'll always picture Greg happily gloating over a Niner's win. He is missed.

My eyes cloud with tears as I sit here and remember.  Greg was a fine man and his affection for you was quite obvious.  You two had one of those rare relationships that was to be admired.  With deep, heartfelt sympathy to you Joan & your family as you grieve this very significant and deeply painful loss.  With love, Gail

Joan, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this heartbreaking time. I'll always think of Greg as a kind and caring friend. Greg had a wealth of knowledge and never hesitated to share it, not only on the job, but in life as well. I'll remember the happy times from way back in Garden City through Islandia. Greg is sorely missed but fondly remembered.

Joan - Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Greg was a terrific co-worker and always a pleasure to work with.

I will cherish the good times we always had together - there were a few over the past 27 years and they were all special. I love you man, and I miss you already. Rest in Peace. PS: I will always root for the 49ers (unless they're playing the Skins of course).

My friend, my love, my life......I miss you!

Joan 
I would like you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and hope that the memories that you and Greg have shared will bring comfort to you and your family at this time
with sympathy 
Tony Franks

Joan and family my deepest heartfelt condolences to you all, I really Loved Greg a lot, was always my friend even though we haven't spoken much lately I know nothing but kindness and love from him. My heart is sad today but I smile knowing that I had the pleasure of knowing him and calling him my friend.
