Every time we were invited to Shedlmor's birthday party Greg always had a smile and a story or two for us. Greg was always laughing when we saw him. I don't ever remember him not laughing. We're sure going to miss him at Shedlmor's birthday parties. Our heart goes out to the Sevillo family during this difficult time. - Posted by: The Podolsky Family (Shedlmor's friend ) on: Feb 16, 2015

Spent many wonderful dinners at La Merage with Greg and Tess. He was always "our driver" after school. I will miss hearing him call me Ms. New Yorker. My condolences to the Sevillo family during this sad time. Joanne - Posted by: Joanne MacDonald (family friend) on: Feb 11, 2015

We have many wonderful memories of Greg as he became a part of our extended family upon the marriage of our son Forrest to his daughter, Merlinda. We enjoyed their visits to Minnesota to visit our family and shared many fun family moments together. We will truly miss his presence! God bless the Sevillo family with much love and peace at this time and always ~ JO - Posted by: Jo Dailey (In-law) on: Feb 09, 2015
