We will miss you.
My deepest sympathy to your family. I was recalling my 1 year at Milo when Greg and I were 2 out of a class of 7. I can still picture a couple of amazing long range catches he made in the outfield against me during recess. It doesn’t seem that long ago.
I know this is a difficult time for your family, but you are in our prayers.

I liked Breezy. He was a good man and a trusted friend. He will be missed. My sincere condolences go out to his family and friends.
I did not know Greg pesonally, but know he was in my youngest brother’s class. I knew Loren, Barry and Sharon and thought higly of all the Reeds. I am sorry to hear of his early passing. Don
