I was young when I first met Greg. I thought Anita was the luckiest girl in the world. I always hoped of meeting a guy like Greg and finally I did. My only regret is that we didn't live closer or get together more often, but with kids, jobs..... He was a great guy and wonderful family man. His charisma, wit and laughter will always live in our hearts, and we are richer for having had the privilage of knowing him. |

I was Greg's supervisor at Caterpillar and the one thing I remember the most about Greg is that I never saw him upset even once. Greg was a very kind individual and I wish I could have known him longer than I did. After reading all of these entries, it is obvious how great of a man Greg was and how much he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. |

One great fatherly part about Greg was his devotion to his family. I would ask? Where is Greg? ""he's with anita and the boys."" A true family man that has passed this incredible lesson about being a great father and husband. A wonderful man with a huge heart. Ron |

Anyone fortunate enough to have shared time with Greg during his too short life, came away a much enriched person because of him. I was one of Greg's best friends during his college years when he met Anita. Greg and I spent many nights together initiating new members into our ""Gusto Rangers"" brigade. We shared a love for the Beatles, Three Dog Night, and the Moody Blues, and of course, our beloved White Sox. Now that you are in heaven Greg, put in a good word for that long awaited pennant for the south side. One thought that immediately comes to mind is Greg's unique talent for imitating Donald Duck. Greg's abilty to suddenly answer a question in that Duck voice always kept everybody laughing. In closing, Greg was a true friend, and the world will be a little less funny without him. My only regret is that we let our friendship fade as we entered our thirties. May God bless you, and keep a special place in heaven for you. I will always treasure the memories you gave me. |

My family is sadden by your loss and our prayers are for your family and Greg. My the Lord see all the good things Greg has done in his life and set aside a special place for him. Greg was a good friend who I worked with for almost 8 years. We had many conversations over sports and our families. He was always sharing his photo's with us and posting photo's of his fellow workers on our emails. Greg will truely be missed by all who knew him. May God bless the Gbur family always. |

We all know that Greg was a quiet person. He didn't like to make waves as he didn't want anyone to be hurt or sad. He was always there for his family and did whatever he could to lead them in the right direction and they loved him for it. He had a special gift of being able to make people laugh. The following is a verse that I thought would pay tribute to Greg. We will all miss him dearly. Those we love are never really lost to us. We feel them in so many special ways. Through friends they always cared about and dreams they left behind. In beauty that they added to our day...in words of wisdon we still carry with us and memories the never will be gone... Those we love are never really lost to us - for everywhere their special love lives on. |

Greg and I were only 15 months apart in age. He was one year ahead of me all through school. This really helped me because he would tell me all about the teachers I would be with the next year, what assignments to expect and what classes were tough. Greg was a generous brother- often times sharing his favorite toys, sports equipment, and his good friends with me and our other brothers. The White Sox have lost one of their most loyal fans. Greg loved White Sox baseball his entire life, and I will miss our conversations which, no matter what time of the year, would gravitate to our favorite team. Greg's other love was music- especially Beatles, Bread, 3 Dog Nite, and Moody Blues. I'll always remember the way Greg's face would light up and he would sing along with the radio. He memorized so many song lyrics- and could instantly recall all sorts of music trivia. Greg's love of his wife and son's is an inspiration to all who knew him. I'm proud to be his brother, and I'll surely miss him. |
