Guestbook
I first met Greg in 1975 during a Perry Meridian Cross Country Practice. Even as a 17-year-old teenager, it was easily observable that Greg was a good man who had a kind heart as well as he cared about other people around him. Greg always encouraged other people around him. Over the years when our paths crossed Greg never spoke about himself but rather he would always ask me how I was doing. Greg never bragged about his many impressive personal accomplishments but rather he was more focused about “Being a Bright Light” to everyone around him. As a believer in Christ, I am comforted to know that Greg will spend eternity in heaven with Christ and his family members as well as with all believers in Christ. I know that Greg is in a better place in heaven, but I pray the good lord will comfort his family and friends until were all together in heaven. Sincerely Roger Gammon
Jack and I are so sorry to hear of your loss . We are praying for Betty, Tammy and Jeffrey and Sarah and the rest of your family.
I am thankful for the opportunity to have known and worked with Greg. He was a pleasure to be around and will not be forgotten. Truly sorrowful at his passing. Gary Kendall – Coreslab Structures
