I am sad and shocked. It has been far too long since Greg and I last went sailing and I miss those days. I wish I had had time to see him before he passed.
My thoughts and prayers are with Karin, Hayley, Dewey and the rest of the family. God bless you all.

Karin, my best wishes for you and your family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Greg was a fun individual. I admired his sailing abilities (and during me government career years) his ability to find the time to do it. Public service is a very hard thing to do. So the fact he did it for 19 yrs and took on additional responsibilities of a Captain speaks for the person he was. We will miss Greg. by Brian & McDonald from Hawi Town, Island of Hawaii.
