I am a member of the sHOw model train club and I have known Greg through that group for more than 10 years. Greg was such a loving, genuine kind of person who enjoyed sharing his stories and knowledge with others. He enjoyed other people in a way that is not often found. We will miss him but have many sweet memories to cherish.
Silent Keys Remembered
In memory of those who’ve passed,
Their voices once so clear.
Their absence leaves an empty space,
Yet their essence lingers near.
Through the airwaves, they did speak,
Their messages like art.
Now they’re silent, but not forgotten,
Forever in our hearts.

I have so many fond memories of working with Greg at WKU, and I am saddened that we have such a special man. Greg had such an infectious smile that it would brighten my day anytime I would see him or work with him. I am lucky to have known him and Dottie, so I know he is thrilled to be reuniting with his sweet, lovely wife. I want to send my sincere condolences to Craig and Karen. I am very sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
