“Greg was truly a wonderful person—exceptionally kind and a valued colleague. I had the chance and pleasure of working alongside him at GAC and admired him, as did everyone who had the opportunity to collaborate with him. Beyond his professional excellence, he was the nicest person you could meet. The news of his passing, far too soon, is heartbreaking. We will all miss his smile and unwavering kindness. My thoughts are with his entire family and loved ones. ~ Rachelle Monniaux”
