RIP.

Deep condolences to Greg's family and friends.

He was one of the good ones.

I can't believe this. How?

I was very fortunate to be relatively local to Greg. Anytime I needed his help over the years either remotely or in person, he was there without fail. He just recommended someone to rebuild a trans for me a week or so ago. Said he had the tools to do it but had never before and thought he might take too long. I wish he had taken it on and was still working on it today. This place will not be the same without his excellent input and voluptuous photos. I hope he is still smiling at the boobies.

He was an honest, generous man and a very good friend. I will miss him.

Shocking news! Greg was a great asset to the community. Led a great fall mountain run last year in the N Ga mountains, tried to keep up, ha!
Greg was great guy, he will be missed by all.

I am very saddened and shocked to hear this news. I have had the pleasure of hanging out with Greg and talking shop with him on more then one occasion. I will miss Gregs company, knowlege and humor. Greg Rest in peace my friend.

At minimum we should be able to prevent any of the Porsche stuff going for pennies on a dollar.

If there's any other way we can help, I'll donate my time.

Well bugger. Thats completely out of the blue, and he will be missed.

Greg was a shining example of this community, giving his time freely and opinions truthfully. He didn't seem to take crap from anyone, and, judging from the many posts I've read of his over the years, had a pretty strong sense of enjoying the detail in life.

He and I spoke just before Thanksgiving. This is so unexpected. RIP Greg.
