Greg was always ready to help, anyone who needed help.  He fixed my Roku twice.  And he was very patient with my phone calls.  He was a caring sincere pioneer.   And I look forward to seeing him very soon.
Yvette his devoted wife has been by his side through many difficulties.   She has always been a great support for Greg.  I look forward to seeing him soon.
