    Thank you for ALWAYS being there for me. I will forever cherish our time together. Virginia Beach, camping, and countless times at the casino, or just hanging at 117 with “gugs” pool and food. My condolences to Troy and Brett at this very difficult time. You will all be in my prayers. Love you always and forever Beb

    Greg was such a nice and understanding man. He will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Revelation 21:3,4 – “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself with be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will there be mourning, nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

      Thank you for sharing this verse with us. I always tell the boys “Fear not, for I am with you”

    You will be so very missed my Sharp Cheese. It was always so comforting to hear your voice when you had a situation when you were trying to help a member. If you didn’t have the answer you would always follow up to make sure the problem was solved. The help desk will never be the same. I will miss you calling me Popcorn. #7777#thebest. RIP my friend.

    “Help Desk. Greg speaking.” And then I would say ”I see they have the “A” Team working today.” Greg was my go to guy. He was Top Notch. He either had the answer or always got back to me. He will be so missed and 7777 will never quite be the same. Rest In Peace brother. My condolences to family and friends.

    I will truly miss you “Sharpie”. We shared not only our breaks but especially a “friendship” that will be never be forgotten. I will truly miss your ‘Bigger than Life” personality and you coming in every Monday morning talking about “Bills” football in the fall. We had so many laughs and you were like a brother to me. May the memories you created with your sons, your family, co-workers and friends be “treasured” and provide the peace and comfort that we all need at this time.

    He was more than just a coworker, more a partner in crime, and I consider him a good friend. We always made time to listen to each other.
    He loved his boys, football and Joe Namath…pretty much in that order.
    Rock on my friend! Your 1970 something muscle car is waiting for you in heaven.

    ‘Sup, beb!

    You were like an older brother to me, Sharpie. The years we spent together at The Summit remain the very best memories of my career. You had a tremendous impact on my life and I’ll miss you terribly. One day we’ll meet again for a hot turkey san, fries, gravy on all! Until then, may you rest easy and show ’em how to bend one. Kay, beb?

    Though you are no longer here, I know you are here in spirit. You were my best friend since I moved to Rochester and I will always regret not telling you that and what your friendship meant to me, but at least you now know. It’s going to be hard going into Summit and not seeing you and getting my normal Shawn O’shawnessy greeting and the countless conversations we had, golf outings, Bills games, bar hoping, etc, . Though you leaving us with a large hole in my heart, I know that sharing our memories together will help fill it. Greg, you were a great friend always there to make light of anything that we were dealing with and I’ll never forget you. Rest In Peace brother from another mother. Go Duke!
