His understanding of the history and heritage of this neighborhood was based in the incredible respect that Greg had for everyone and everything that came before, and serves as the Foundation for our revitalized tomorrow. Greg’s ability to listen to everyone and include everyone no matter what the issue may be leaves us with a void that will be hard to fill.
