So sorry to hear this. Greg was one of the great characters on Rennlist. I met him at one of the SITM's I attended, and he furthered my appreciation of his humor and direct manner at the Third Coast he attended in 2010.

RIP Greg!

Very sad news indeed. Greg was both well liked and respected for his knowledge, skill and true friendship within the 928 community. Rest in peace my friend!

I can't believe this. He's always been the life of any gathering. This isn't right.

Rest In Peace Greg!

My wife lost her best friend this morning as well. NOT A GOOD DAY.

This is terrible. I've had many conversations with Greg over the years and liked and respected him.

My thoughts are with his family.

Exceedingly sad to read this, and my sincere condolences to his family.

He was good people and a gentleman in my book, tireless in helping anybody. R.I.P. Greg.

Holy #}{*ing $hit!

Sonovabitch. I'm having a hard time believing this news.

I'm at a loss for words. I brought Greg over from the Corvette forum, many years ago, only days after he bought his 928. I've spent many hours with him over the years on the phone, in PMs, and in person. I will miss him. A lot.

Crap.

This is going to take a very long time to process, I simply don't believe it.

Damn it. They don't come any more unique than Mr. Nettles. This leave a huge hole in the 928 community.
