Missing you so much dad. Your grandkids are AMAZING and I so wish you could be here today to see them. This is the picture I have on my desk and I share it with the kids all the time. I remember you always making sure I ate and drank healthily and although at times I let it slip with my kids enjoying the brownie I can't help but wonder if you'd step in and cook them something better lol. Kayleigh looks and acts just like me by the way. Carter, I really think may have your height. We shall see!! He also likes race cars just like you and Nascar. I will never understand :)

Must not forget, Dear Greg, you were the light in a dark room. Peace to all family and friends of Greg <3

Greg quiet peaceful friend, gone but never to be forgotten. I thought of you often thru the years & will continue to think of you,however this time knowing where you are. High above in blissful peace, no worries, no stress, back to the home from whence you came. Its never easy to let go, however we must carry on and keep the ones we love forever in our hearts.
Its been just over a year since you went to your rest. Its never easy to let go, however we must carry on and keep the ones we loved an cherished where they always were in the first place...forever in our hearts.

 I have just spread ashes of a sweet soul across the country in places once visited and cherished by my sweet dear friend who's life hung in the balance on the day of your passing, and who went to his rest on the day of your services. I'm thinking the two of you (& others) are looking down on us poor fools hoping we get it right,& one day, someday we'll all meet again. Until then, Adios for now.
 <3 See you on the other side <3

My dad was the most incredible, smart, funny, understanding, and good hearted person you'll ever meet. He sure knew how to put a smile on your face no matter what situation. We used to watch cops and americas most wanted every saturday night with some ice cream and then had breakfast on Sunday morning and then it was NASCAR time!!!! He would be glued to the t.v. for hours ha ha ha!!!! He kept the smiles and laughter coming. I have nothing but incredible and funny memories of my dad I miss him soo much!!!! I Love you daddy i will always be your little pumpkin and you'll always be in my heart. I Love you so so so so so so much i know that no one will ever forget you and neither will I. I will keep your memory going dad everyone I meet will know exactly who you are and who you helped me become. You were amazing dad!!! I LOVE YOU!!! Love your little pumpkin Tayler

To all the family and friends of Greg Swanson
Wednesday was a very difficult day for my family.  At the end of the day we had a heartfelt feeling on knowing Greg had touched so many lives.  It was just in awe to me.  I have heard so many of your names talked about over the years and to see and talk to you with my own eyes was just awesome.  Not only is Greg very special to me but he is very special to so many.    To those who I know personally from child hood, it was great for you to take out your time for our family and it was great to hear some of the stories again.
Greg had this gift to just talk to anyone and would make you feel he is just one of the good old guys. You wanted to keep him just talking because you just felt so comfortable.  Mom, Greg and Laura have this gift and I have always been so envious of this.  I was always the little sister who just hung around them as a shadow and said very little and it has been like that my entire life.  Maybe with Greg in heaven he will nudge me a little and help me on this  ïŠ   Knowing Greg he is saying nudge (Haha).  Greg and I have this great bond of being with laughter and I miss him more that words can say.   I have been with him in good times and bad times and I know he is in Heaven and looking down on use all saying â€œI love youâ€
To all of those Double Ringers and Co Workers and friends who helped with donations and food I was so amazed on your support.  Never are you ready for anything like this in mind or sprit, so the love and support that came to me will never be forgotten.   
To my sister in laws and nieces, that took care of me on Wednesday all I have to say is I LOVE YOU!!!!
Reality:  I am so not ready for this letter and I am so not ready to let my brother go.  I love you Greg

I came across some pictures I had of Greg when we were neighbors probably late 70's thru the early 80's. This is one of Greg as I remember him.
On Wed 8-8-2012, same day & time as Gregs services a dear sweet guy in my life also passed on. I hope they meet up in Heaven. They both always had a good outlook on life & an everlasting smile.

Being Gregs's older brother, I only had a few years being around him but he was always fun and an adventurous person to be around. It was a fun time.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Uncle, Unfortunately we never had the opportunity to meet. May you rest in Peace, Give Grandpa Pat Sr. and Nanna love for me up there please...

I haven't seen Greg in 30 years, but have fond memories -- he was a fun, energetic, sweet person. The news of his passing crossed my desk via FaceBook. RIP Greg! ... Rochelle.

Greg's passing came as a shock. I lived a couple of houses down from he and his mom, during high school and Greg was my buddy. We had some great times and great laughter. It's been more than 30 years since I last saw him, but still I miss him. I look forward to seeing him in eternity. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I have tremendous warm memories of Greg... he typified the joy of the 70's for me, very active and always seeking and spreading joy.  I saw him only a few times after high school, but today think of him with deep sadness.  My prayers go out for his family.  Greg, we lost you too soon and you will be missed.

I haven't seen Greg in over 25yrs, although he has remained one of a few select friends that I have always remembered fondly thru the years. Who could forget his ever present smiling face & twinkling eyes. May Your Sweet Soul Rest in Peace

I have and will always think of Greg with great affection, and fond memories.  He with his fun personality, great smile and bright eyes made me smile.  My thoughts and prayers are with you, his family.

David and I will never loose the memories of all the great times we had together. All our love to your family.
David Bunch and Lori Daniel Bunch McLennan

I haven't seen Greg in 30 years and will always remember his boyish sweet looks and smile. So sad that he was taken from us at such an early age. My prayers go out to Greg's family and close friends. May you be resting in God's arms now ... and through eternity.

We are so sorry to hear about Greg.  He was so much fun to be around, he always was making us laugh.  He will truly be missed.  Rex and Kelly Muhr

We were extremely sorry to hear about Greg's passing.  Though we only knew him for a short time, he was a wonderful neighbor and a great person.  He will be very much missed and our deepest sympathies go out to his friends and family.

I am sorry to hear about Greg. We last saw each other at the Guitar Center in Fountain Valley a couple of years ago. We had great childhood memories like our 65 mile bike ride together to my moms house before starting our freshman year of high school. Rest in peace Greg. Love Tom
