Carl and family, my deepest sympathy on the loss of Greg, he was my classmate and friend, and he will be greatly missed.
I am very sorry for your loss. Prayers go out to all.
I’m very sorry to hear of Greg’s passing. We were classmates in Junior and Senior High at Tipton, and I considered him a friend. My sincere prayers and condolences.
This is particularly sad. I know you akways missed your little brother and now you can be reunited in eternity. Greg was always nice to me. I remember him bragging in high school, he wore the same bell bottomed blue
jeans like 30 days in a row. This was back in the early 70s. Bye Friend of my Youth.
Kathy, I was saddened to learn of your brother’s death. I send my deepest sympathy to you and your entire family. As you are surrounded by family and friends during this difficult time, I hope you find comfort in knowing that Greg is now in the presence of our Heavenly Father, and I hope that happy memories of Greg will give you peace now and in the days to come.
