My man, I remember us promising in high school to be “bros for life.” Even though decades and miles separated us, the friendship bonds we forged have always remained steadfast. You were my go-to friend among friends, and to my joy you seemed to have made many more friendships, like ours, along the way. Rest easy, Greg. I look forward to hearing your laugh again when we’re finally together in “that better place.” All my love, Rhett Humphreys

I just met Greg in June 2022, I purchased a car for my son. I sent a friend to GALVEZ motors to purchase a car for his daughter and that’s when I found out about his passing.
He was nice, pleasant and professional
My condolences to his family.

As we hear the news and learn all about what you have accomplished we can truly say that we are sorry that we never met Gregory. But we have been close friends with Frank and Kety and having a son who is within a year of his age, we can empathize with the sadness that such untimely passing can bring. We pray for Frank, Kety and all those close to Gregory that they may find peace in knowing that he is now in the glow of God, our eternal
Light. He is not resting in Peace, his soul is IN the source of Peace, actively living in eternity.
May God keep him in the hollow of His hand.

I met Greg at SAS back in 1977. We rode the school bus together for years before finishing at Redemptorist. It’s been many years since we last spoke, but I remember his sense of humor, and quick wit. We shared a common interest in music growing up, as well as mischief!
Rest In Peace my Friend.

It is really difficult to lose good people, especially when so young. Greg was a friend and client. He will be missed greatly.
My sincerest condolences to the family.
