Pat, Ricky, and Holli, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember living next door to you on Parkview Circle in Steubenville. I remeber playing with Greg and Ricky. I remember Ricky getting his foot cut really bad. My memory isn’t very clear because I was only 8 years old at the time. My mom’s name was Dorothy and my Dad’s was Bill and he worked at DiNovo’s. Sadly they both passed away 5 years ago. I was so shocked to read about Greg’s passing and I just wanted you to know that I remember having fun playing with Greg and Ricky, and Holly, you were so young back then. I know you will miss Greg very much. My prayers are with your family at this sad time. Cindy
Pat, My thoughts and prayers are with you Gretchen
Pat, Holli & Ric My feelings are going out to all of Greg’s family & friends. I was able to spend some time with Greg in the last few weeks & we laughed about some of the dumbest things we did growing up. Greg was my friend & he will be sadly missed by everyone. Mike (Mouse) Semple
