Condolences & Memories (18 entries)

• I unfortunately just heard about Greg's passing today which made me very sad and sorry to hear. My condolences to you Rosemary and family, even though it's a year later my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I will always remember Greg fondly (the gentle giant) so kind and always smiling. I must also say your hotdogs were the best I have ever had. I know that you are in heaven smiling down on your family that you loved so much. Until we meet again my friend, rest in peace. - Posted by: Marie Benevides (Menei) (neighbour ) on: Jul 10, 2024

• Greg was the best. He was so welcoming and always a bright lite. I met him at Home Depot Leila when I was a cashier about 19 years ago. He was so friendly. He always had a smile and loved to talk about his family. I didn’t know he passed away until today when I stopped at a hot dog stand and was talking about him. I am so sorry to hear about this and I am sending my condolences. Greg will be missed! - Posted by: Jennifer (Customer ) on: Jul 14, 2023

• As a regular customer of Greg’s both at Home Depot and Freshco I always enjoyed his food and friendly banter. I always looked forward to spring as I knew Greg would soon make his appearance. Greg was always pleasant and generous to others who might have needed an occasional hot dog. I will miss Greg’s good food. My condolences to his family for their loss.

• Dear Rosemary and family I was in middle school with Greg way back in the 60s. I’ve often thought of them over the years because he’s a such a jokester guy and stuff in so much trouble but that was what was loveable about him. May he rest in peace!
