You were taken way too early. Our memories will last until we meet again. Love you brother.
Greg was a great friend to many of us. He will surely be missed. Much condolences to all his family. 🙏🏻
Stacey and I had a chance to get to know Greg when we worked together on Lukas and Shelby’s house last summer. He worked hard and did a great job on the house painting. We enjoyed getting to know him better.
You could surely tell he really loved his family. Our deepest sympathies and prayers go out to family and friends.
We were so young when we met in church. Then later in life our fun shenanigans with the Bombes, we had many laughs together, tent parties then again later in life , few motorcycle rides! I will miss those times . Hugs , love and prayers to you Carol and your loving family!
I had the privilege of working alongside Greg for many years while we were at Tweddle Group in Clinton Township. We worked together very closely while our office was in Rochester Hills. Greg was a great guy to have at work! Very funny and very caring. I have spoken to him a few times since my departure from the company and it was always a great conversation. Greg will always be a great guy and I will miss him being around.
Rest in Peace Greg. You are now in the hands of the Lord and no longer is suffering. It has been a great pleasure to know and work with you at Tweddle. My condolences to the family, you will be in my prayers now and forever.
My condolences and prayers to all of Greg’s Family.
I’ve been blessed to have worked with Greg for many, many years. I will miss him, his witty sarcastic humor, and smile, which was captured in the image. Sharing the same first name, we used to say all the time its a “Greg thing, people just don’t understand” and laugh about it.
Miss you Greg, rest in peace my friend.
I worked with Greg at SPX and Tweedle, he was a great guy and I loved talking with him, he had a great sense of humor and was always kind. I will miss you my friend, condolences and prayers for Greg’s family and friends
