I met Greg in 2010 when he and I were both hired on to work at Terminix in sales. We roomed together for training in Daytona on the beach. I remember how he lit up watching the bait fish from the window one morning be chased by something bigger. He was always very encouraging to me as I was only 27 at the time, he assured with confidence that I would do just fine no matter what I did. His kindness and encouragement won’t be forgotten. Clearly, as it’s been over 11 years and just randomly thought about him and googled him to see what he’s up to. So sorry to hear he is no longer with us. - John Conklin

Greg and I played many rounds of golf together. I never had so much fun on a golf course.
Make many hole in ones on the great golf course in the sky.

Greg was a friend from the 7th grade on. A person who was always genuine and true to everyone. The world needs more Greg’s and I wish we had stayed in touch more throughout life. He added special meaning to friendship and will be missed dearly. Rest In Peace my friend

I met Greg at Hooligans bar. I would go in after work and hear this booming laugh through the whole bar. I figured I needed to know who that was. About the 4th time hearing him I went over to introduce myself and I think I scared him half to death. Our first date I got called away because my daughter went into labor so of course he thought it was a trick to get away from him.. And that started a 25 year relationship. Having two houses really made the relationship work. We helped each other through sickness and building and maintaining our residences. He will be sorely missed. He loved his cruises and visiting with new people. He was who I called on for help and I was his. We loved going to car races and hockey. But all fun comes to and end and I will miss that booming laugh. My deep sympathy goes out to all his family.. love and kisses Greg show them how its done up there buddy...":Balls to the Wall" Joyce Catanzaro

Greg was one of kind. He never complained and always saw the positive side of things. I always joked that if he was at Alamo he would probably say something like “we got them right were we want them or they are about to surrender”. Rest In Peace buddy🙏

I remember Greg as a sweet guy who wouldn't harm a fly. Such a sweet disposition. I met Greg when I was 12 when we became neighbors in 1962 Hialeah, FL. Lots of fun swimming and sail boating on the lake I remember the summers. I bought my first car from Greg and the main thing I remember about that was the Giant Silver Foot that was the gas pedal. That was a great car until I forgot the oil. Rest In Peace my friend.

I have fond memories of visiting with cousins Greg and Dev when my family visited with theirs when we were all children. My farthest back memory was of my brother and Greg (both age 3) eating watermelon while wearing their cowboy hats in Sheridan, Wyo. They both giggled as the juice ran down their fronts and refused to let anything that resembled a bib be tied around their necks. Our visits after that were to Ohio, and Greg would pair off with my sister Barb who liked to play practical jokes just as much as he did. Since Dev and I were older and hung out together, that left Dave to play with the dog, Junior. Greg and Barb kept dognapping Junior and either hiding him for the rest of us to find or dressing the dog up in strange costumes. In recent years, Greg brought his congenial self to two of our cousins reunions. He was so easy to get along with.

RIP, dear cousin. You will be missed. Sue
