Gregg and I have been friends our entire lives, and celebrated many holidays and birthdays together. (In fact, Gregg and Kathy and I all went to kindergarten together.) I have many fond memories of the times we shared with our families. You all have my deepest sympathies, and I will keep you all in my prayers.

Kathy & Family, My heartfelt thoughts are with the entire Guatteri family at this time. I regret that I am unable to be there for you as Gregg had been for me in the past. My friendship with Gregg goes back to our freshmen year at WHS, through the earlier years at Weirton Steel. My visits back to Weirton have been infrequent since, but seeing Tut during those stops leaves me with fond memories of a special friend. Please accept my sincere condolences, Kathy. Scott Gracie

I am just devastated by the news and so sorry for your loss. Gregg and I were neighbors and friends when we were little. We went all through school together. He was always so happy. We had great times, playing baseball, hide and seek until all hours of the night, war in the fields, and best of all, riding his tractor. We were together all the time. I am going to try to come to Weirton for the viewing or service if I can work it out, because this is very hard to deal with. Deep sympathy for this trying time and I will pray for God to help you through this. Terri
