Gregg and I worked together at Exxon for 4 years or so before I retired in 2013. He was kind, smart, funny and adored his wife and family.  And those adorable puppies that he and Shari adopted!

I went in his office one day to comment on the fact that the “surge” in Iraq appeared to be working.  This is during the Bush administration. Gregg’s response: “Karla, the surge is comparable to someone coming into my office, pooping on my desk and cleaning up half of it, with a promise to clean the rest up later. It would been so much better if it hadn’t happened in the first place.”

The world was a better place with Gregg in it.
