R Jones wrote a sympathy message

“Family and friends. I was a colleague of Greg at Radford University. He was a gifted educator as well as a people person in his capacity to manage employees and people needing assistance. My deepest sympathies for your family and continued prayers during this difficult time. I always enjoyed our conversations when we could catch up as he crisscrossed the U.S. for his current job. I know the coming weeks and months will be filled with stories of a life well lived. Todd Jones”
