A whole year has passed and my heart still hurts, but I know your better now and you know I loved you. I loved braiding your hair, and helping with your shaving and your toes. I loved watching your shows and listening to your music, hearing you sing and making jokes. I remember going on the truck with you years ago and taking so many pictures. Singing songs and talking to other truckers on the road as well. You used to tell me, “I saw a hen way today.” And we’d all say, “what’s a hen weigh?” And you’d laugh and say you wouldn’t know, or the coin trick on the forehead that was my favorite. Good times good memories, every time I came over to your house the first thing I did was gave you hugs and kisses. I helped clean your poker room and made your eggs dead that’s how you liked em, you and me would talk for hours if we could. And every time I hung out with you I would not let you smoke a cigarettes because I did not want to see you go down like that and oh boy did we argue lol but you finally agreed to disagree with me 😊 you would tell me about your brothers and sisters and how things were growing up. We agreed that I would never get a boyfriend and never have kids but you were right lol things do change when we grow up, thank you for always being on my side and supporting me and being someone I could talk to poppy you truly made a difference in my life. What I would give to spend just one more day with you poppy ❤️ rest easy up there ❤️

Greg, I will miss you very much. I know I sat in the corner most of the time dealing with my own problems, but anytime you were around (mostly to shoot pool), you always made sure to talk to me and get me to laugh which in all honesty can be a very difficult thing to do. I'll miss you for all those times. I'll pray for your family to come through this with the least amount of suffering as possible. You were a good man and a fine example of what a husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend should be. We'll see you again on the other side. Rest easy, Greg. Darrin

Greg was one-of-kind, he was a loving and generous man, who was willing to take on a wife with seven daughters to be mother and sisters to his own three kids. He loved music and loved singing, for which he'd won many competitions for in his home state of Maine. His singing could bring tears to your eyes with the deep emotions he put into his songs. He was a great husband, father, son, uncle and friend. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him, especially his wife and children. I too will miss him dearly. RIP Greg, we loved you!
