If it weren't for you Greg and Aunt Tina and Calathia (for sharing your bedroom and bathroom ..lol)..I would never have the wonderful life that I now have living in the beautiful city of Washington, DC, that I have enjoyed for the past 40 years!!! There has nevvver been a dull or boring day there yet. Thank you for opening up your home at the Indianhead Naval Base in 1985 and allowing me a once in a lifetime opportunity to leave Pittsburgh PA after college graduation, to seek and start my lucrative journey of exciting career paths. I loved the good times that our family had when Daddy was alive from the bbq cookouts in your backyard by the beautiful Potomac River, to the all u can eat crablegs at The Chesapeake Seafood House. I am at a loss that I never truuly got a chance to thankuuu or show my sincere appreciation or gratitude...I owe it allll to you and your family for hosting, guiding, and mentoring me during my beginning years of city-life-living and surviving, in the DC metro area. I will nevvver forget... Love, your lil sis Nina

Sending prayers of comfort strength and peace for my family. Cousin Greg was a pretty amazing guy, we'd sit and talk about his time in the military, we'd share recipes. I will miss him riding by my house every day sometimes he'd see us outside and stop to chat and others he'd keep going. Greg you will forever be in my ❤️ pass out a few hugs up there for me you have joined a special group of family members.....until we meet again RWG
