I never tired of his wit and would look forward to the funny moments we would share. My thoughts and prayers are with Ruth, Ron Sr., Ron Jr., and the entire family as they grieve during this difficult time. He will be greatly missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Gregg’s passing and although I did not know him personally, he was one of the kindest neighbor on my block. Always said hello and always had a cute thing to say to my dog. He will be missed. May he rest in eternal peace.

We’re heartbroken to hear the news, we moved in next door to Gregg almost 5 years ago and he was nothing but the nicest man. Always up for a chit chat in the driveway, happy as a clam and so sweet to our 2 kids & dog. He will be greatly missed by all. Sending prayers and condolences to his family during this hard time.

I am saddened to hear the news of Greg's passing; he truly was a character. I had the good fortune of working with Greg, he had a wonderful sense of humor, a passion for golf, sunny Florida and yoga if you can believe it.
He was always a glass half full kinda guy and he will be missed. My condolences to family and close friends.

A fond memory is the Christmas Gregg made every member of my family wooden snowmen for the yard. He used old tree trunks, paint and cloth for scarves. We affectionately called them ,( and Gregg,) Woody. We gave him a lot of ribbing for them, but we all proudly put them in our yards. He was well loved for his wit, charm, jokes and good sense of humor. Always a rock in a storm. My family and I are forever grateful for walking part of his path with him. God speed, Gregg. We will always hold you dearly in our hearts.

I met Greg at my first job out of school at his Dads office Wolff, Helies and Dugan. I remember he always had a quick joke and funny story. He was always positive. My sympathies to his family and friends.

I worked with Gregg for many years at the golf centers. There have been many days I break out laughing recalling certain antics and jokes he would tell during our days in the golf centers. He always brought food in to share with me or he would say "You fly....I buy!" I am sad he is gone. My deepest condolences. Michele Demaree

So sad to hear this news today and my deepest condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. Such fond memories I have of Greg and I’s working relationship at the Park System. No matter how stressed either of us were, when Greg came to see me, he broke out the accents accompanied by several new or old jokes, anything to have the room laughing, or a little less serious. He had such a joy for life few ever exhibit. After his retirement, I enjoyed reading a text here and there about the many things we would often joke about while at work. His wit, personality, passion for golf, knowledge of business or life in general, along with his contagious laugh, will not be forgotten. Greg was a friend I will sincerely miss laughing with.
