Message from childhood buddy Bill Moore

(who says people from Miami Springs will understand this):

"Greg, So sorry you never caught Big Boy"


(For those of us NOT from Miami Springs, I think this has to do with fishing for an ol' granddaddy of a fish in their Miami Springs neighborhood lake):


Bill also shared this Greg-saying:
"If I had a face like that I'd paint my ass and walk on my hands."

Wow, can not wait to meet his friends from Miami and other parts. Keep the meories coming, love this stuff!!

I can't wait to meet his Miami friends either! DuneAHH, you are doing an amazing job, as always. I'll be down there tomorrow. Need some warm sunny weather.

From Jeff Weiner:
"Greg was a great guy! Over the years, I've remembered and thought of him often! Not only did we attend Riverside Military Academy in the graduating class of '66, we also went to Circle F Dude Ranch summer camp together. Sorry I won't be able to attend his Memorial, but I'll be there in spirit."

ME:
1) "Rock-n-Roll, Sin, & Sex ~ We're the Class of '66"
I may not have the first part of their class motto exactly right.
It may have been 'Wine, Women, Sin & Sex ~ We're the Class of '66'

2) Whenever Greg would refer to Circle F, he always comically chanted "Circle F Dude Ranch on BEAUUTIFUULL-SUNSET- Lake in Lake-Wales-Florida" in a silly sing-song like he was doing voice-over for the advertising sales pitch! Greg learned to ride and care for horses at The Circle F Dude Ranch. The photo is dated August 1961... so age 13.

Greg has a dubious fake-it-til-ya-make-it look on his face... the horse just looks completely irritated by the whole stand-still-and-say-cheez scenario
