Greg, You will be missed!

Greg will be missed by his colleagues and friends. I was fortunate to serve with him in planning for two “Youth On Board” events. He was a zealous supporter of youth who served as voting members of community committees and boards. He even instructed attendees of the Buckeye Leadership Workshop on dance movements and facial gyrations for a dance presentation.

Greg was at peace with his fate much more than I was, as I still can not overcome the feelings of injustice inherent in his passing. Why should such a good person die so young when there are so many horrible people who will continue to live for decades? This is a mystery of life, and one that I contemplate with Greg as an example of a soul who deserved to live, love, and learn much more than his mortal body allowed. My condolences to his family and friends.

I enjoyed Greg’s quiet positive presence when he was in the room. He was a great example to all 4-H Educators of how to believe in the power of youth and to include them in the decision making process. He will be missed. Steve
