Eulogy


Having known Gregory since I was the tender age of 4, I always felt that he was very open minded towards trying new things and very welcoming of new ideas. He failed to disappoint when anyone in need of encouragement or advice came to him; I feel that I was fortunate enough to be one of these people. He may not have been the most optimistic person to mankind, but what he lacked in false hope, he made up with realism and advice to help move you forward in life.

            Not only was Greg a great person to seek advice from, but a great friend who could be trusted to put a smile on your face if you got to know him. He had a heart for pulling pranks and making others laugh, but also had the ability to revert back to all seriousness if called for.

            Despite a wonderful personality, I believe it’s safe to say he had a widespread level of accomplishments as well. Greg played a variety of sports from an early age, excelling in soccer, basketball and swimming as he grew up. If you ever wanted to play a pick up game or race him, he was guaranteed to be a challenge. He also spent a couple of years playing the piano, which he was more than adequate at.

            All in all, I believe that Gregory had a big heart and anyone who took the time to get to know him would see what a great person he was.

    Really? That's cool! Did you take lessons? If so, where at?
