Greg, I have joyful memories of you being a great childhood friend. We played youth hockey together, backyard bball, watched the Celtics and hung out together. I can not forget to mention the time you pulled me down the hill at Pierce middle school and I ended up with 36 stitches. You were bright, charming and witty. I will miss you my friend! Love, Ted

Greg was the most talented artist I've ever had the opportunity to meet. He was humble, kind, honest, and carried pain that no longer owns him today. He has been welcomed into peace by his lost loved ones and is free to live with angels. He will be missed by many but never forgotten. Rest easy my friend ❤️🙏🏼 Nicole Pero

Greg – I pray that you are at peace now. I have nothing but fond memories of you. The most lasting memory is of the time and effort you put in to become a basketball player. You didn't wish or hope for it, you when to work spending hours at the Kelly Field Courts making yourself into a varsity player. You were self-taught in the skills, but more importantly the strategy of the game. You were a great teammate. Love Brian Cronin
