Greg was a wonderful friend and neighbor. When I needed help for whatever reason he was there. We use to walk our dogs together. My dog shiner passed away couple weeks ago, so now he can take care of him and walk him for me. Shiner loved him as well as his favorite friend in the world “ZEKE”. ZEKE was his entire world. He was his best friends dog. I don’t know who Greg loved more , his best friend Theresa or her dog ZEKE.
When you moved to NC, you did it to be next to zeke , I know, I truly missed you. I missed my friend and my neighbor. Ill miss talking you
If tears can build a stairway and memories, a-lane, I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. Greg what’s my best friend for 14 years he adored my dog Zekey. He fell in love with him as soon as I put a Zekey in his arms since then, I shared my dog with him for five years because that’s how old my little boy is.Greg and I have tears and lots of laughter. We truly lost a great friend a brother in Christ.!!!! I know that he is in the presence of the Lord no more crying just laughter! My husband helped Greg mow the lawn, do things around the house. So did I a little bit , every time I went there, it always put on a pot of coffee and we were talk about the Lord Jesus Christ! Politics, and some funny stuff about our past. He was truly a family we were all family my brother David really liked him a lot my mom she loved his cheesecake. We all loved his cooking. He’s just all around a good guy and I love him my husband and I we really love him a lot.Greg will be truly missed. My heart is broken. I can’t wait to see you again when it’s my turn to go to heaven.Greg made recipes for Zekey I never asked for one dime even though I offered, so I followed those recipes with go out for walks in the park here come on over our house will go over his house very proud of him, driving all by himself to N.C.. leave it there.

I can’t imagine how much pain you’re going through, because my heart is so broken into tiny little pieces. I can imagine yours. God bless you all most of all my best friend. I love you.🙏🌹🕊️
I’ve been looking for the last two weeks for his obituary . I am so sorry for the families loss. I’m am the person he bought the house from in Vale in October. I hope he enjoyed living there before he passed. I lived there for 40 years and I enjoyed living there. I only saw him for about 5 minutes in the Lawyers office one day. I was very sad about it when I heard about his death.
