I worked with Gregg for many years at ETF. He was thorough, reliable, and always kind. I rode with him to Kenosha once when we both had people to visit there. He wouldn’t take any money for gas and I enjoyed learning more about his varied interests on the ride. I am so very sorry for your loss.

My sincere condolences to Gregg's family. I was shocked to learn of Gregg's passing. I worked at the Department of Employee Trust Funds, in close proximity to Gregg, for 27 years before retiring in 2018. Gregg was always willing to go out of his way to help his colleagues. When I began working there, Gregg helped me the most in terms of training and navigating my way around the bureaucratic red tape. I was a new father then, and Gregg was always very kind to my daughter, giving her coupons for free ice cream cones and things like that. May he rest in well deserved peace.
