Greg Was A Wonderful Person And Professional Whose Compassion And Legal Expertise Made A Difference In Lives Of Children, Teachers, Co-Workers And Friends. I Had The Priviledge Of Working With Greg For A Number Of Years As He Served As Attorney For Kanawha County Schools. He Always Made Me Laugh In The Most Difficult Circumstances. He Would Often Remind Me That No Good Deed Goes Unpunished With A Twinkle In His Eye. Greg Will Be Missed By All Who Had The Good Fortune Of Being Part Of His Life.
