I "met" Greg when i was director of Black Hill Legal Services in Rapid City South Dakota in 1973 and his resume was one of dozens that we legal services directors were asked to choose from for getting a VISTA volunteer lawyer. Most were from the East Coast and I was sure that because they were applying to the Denver region (which included So. Dakota) they would think they were going to Denver. I noticed that Greg was from Hutchison KS -- Hell, I thought, if he can live in Hutchison, Rapid City SD would be a breeze. He turned out not only to be a smart, thoughtful and dedicated lawyer, but as fine a person as I ever have met. He was humble, kind, brave, and persistent. We have kept up over the years, mostly virtually and not as well as I should have, i am sure. I have a great memory of meeting up with him and Ruth in Lebanon NH when he was city manager there. He had not changed a bit in the intervening years. He was deeply in love with Ruth, proud of his children, and generous in all aspects of his life. My condolences to Ruth and his family. He was a lovely man and I know you will miss him profoundly. Pat and I have been following his travels, career and family for more than 45 years, and we are saddened to learn of his death.
Best wishes. Mike Wolff
