Gregg always had an easy smile and an attentive ear. The world is a lesser place without him. My family and I send our love and deepest condolences.
Deanna and Gregg were wonderful neighbors. We were fortunate to be neighbors while our children were very young. I will never forget my late husband sharing one of his recipes with Gregg. I was the wife who smiled knowing two wives wouldn’t have to cook that night.
You will be missed immensely.
