To Mrs. Johnson, Gregory was such a kind, respectful, generous man. He was pleasant to work with at Catholic Charities we did not always see eye to eye but that's what made him so unique he held no grudges He was always happy go lucky and never complained even when I knew he was 100%. He will be missed. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. God Bless

Greg was in the class of knowledgeable program elite . He was a parliamentarian who kept the General Service Meetings on point . He talked me into standing for offices then helped guide me through them . Who’s going to cook the fish at the Multi-District Picnic now ? Who’s going to make sure we take notes a the State Convention ? Make the copies and flyers ? Greg was some of the glue of sobriety in Cleveland he stuck and will stay in our hearts , comments , pictures , and great memories of how this program really is lived ... Dawn was his right hand and we thank you for making sure he was well taken care of ❤️

I remember when he introduced me to his wife. He was cheering from ear to ear. I was so happy for him. He deserved a great woman because he strived to be a great man, husband, friend and father. Greg was truly a blessing in my life. Keep smiling my brother because God blessed you with a great life.
Cynthia Peck left a message on March 8, 2021:
My prayers are for his wife and family. Greg was a wonderful person and I loved him unconditionally. I thank God for the 12 step process because he instilled them into my life. What a wonderful brother he was.
Cynthia Gilchrist left a message on March 8, 2021:
His services were private, but the words spoken by those present, reflected the same person we all knew growing up as children, teenagers, into young adulthood - Greg was kind, all-embracing, and a joy to be around. My condolences to Greg's family and friends. May God's peace and comfort be with you now and in the days ahead. - Cynthia Gilchrist
