Greg was one of those colleagues that became a friend. Always with a smile, Greg worked hard to make our jobs easier. I'll never forget his beaming smile and pride filled voice when sharing pictures of his grandchildren. He will be missed.

Greg was a great person and a good friend. Beside seeing Greg at work, he played on our volleyball team at Pooleys for several years. We affectionately referred to him as the bumble because he was a gentle giant. He will forever be in our hearts and memories. The one thing that I always admired about him most is how proud he was of his family and especially his grandchildren. His smile and laughter were contagious and will truly be missed. We are very saddened by this tragic loss and will keep his family in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerest Condolences. Bill Eberle and Jean Folts-Eberle

I live a few houses down from Greg and always enjoyed chatting with him when we ran into one another outside. He was a kind man and I will miss him as my neighbor. Sue Carlson

Greg was a huge presence in many ways - he was a big guy, had a big heart, a big personality and a big presence. You always knew when Greg was around. He was one of the friendliest guys . He will be missed by everyone who knew him. My heart goes out to Lindsay, Ryan, the grandchildren, Terri, Andy, Lillian and all the rest of the family.
