He was a good spirit and wonderful man
to be around. He will be missed.
We were a lot alike. We both were in
computers and served the same place in
Nam.
We both married great spouses and are
very proud of our kids and grandkids.
We loved our visits, travel and playing cards.
We wish very much that we could be at the
funeral today.
Take comfort today that Greg lived a good
life and is at rest with his Heavenly Father.
