I may be a little old to be saying this, but Greg was that wonderful father figure one dreams of in their lifetime. Passionate, driven, full of determination and a zest for life as well as a mentor and a friend. He was someone who told you the unbridled truth with a warm smile and that 'Greg' look he had that told you come rain or shine, he had your back.

Coming to the close of 2007, I'm making plans to slow my illustration business down enough to be an integral part of A+K. I was looking forward to getting to know Greg on a deeper level and to learn from his wisdom and integrity. I will sorely miss that opportunity, but I am also grateful for the standards he set down for me - and others - to achieve. I am without a doubt, a better person for knowing him.

To Greg's family: know that you are in many peoples thoughts and prayers.

We all miss you Greg.
