Steinks was a great longtime friend, and a close friend of our family. He was a special person who had a remarkable quality where everybody liked him right away. We loved him and we'll miss him. We'll have countless fond memories of him with us always.
Go Packers!
Go Brewers!

We'll miss you Steinks,
Mark, Trish, Nick, Alli, (and we have to include our dog Earl).

Steinks was great Stoughton classmate for many years. So funny and so smart. I'm so glad he ended up joining Concert Choir his senior year. He brought a lot of life into our mix. I'll never forget his 'Old Lady' song for as long as I live! And even though I haven't seen him in many years, I will think of him fondly and with laughter.

A person who instantly put a smile on your face. Good to the core. Honest, sincere, a true friend no matter how long it had been since you'd seen him. Gone far too soon, but someone I will always remember.
Bless you, Steinks, you're the best.

I grew up just around the corner from Greg on Madison St. I was a couple of years younger so I didn't really get to know him until high school. Greg is just one of those great people that everyone appreciates. We had some hilarious times. I bumped into him a few times over the last couple of years and he always put a smile on my face. We always talked about hooking up but things always got too busy. I really wish I would have made a better effort to hook up. Live for the day
Rock on brother- you were a great guy and won't be forgotten! You have clearly made your mark on this world. I will be toasting you at many games to come. GOD Bless-
