I am keeping Greg’s immediate and extended family in my thoughts and prayers. I enjoyed working with Greg on several cases before I took the Bench, and he was energetic and cared deeply for his clients. I am the oldest of five, and we lost my mother when she was way too young, so I have some notion what your family faces. I pray that the love and support of family, friends and community sustain you all through this difficult time and in the future. God Bless,

Prayers are with you

Greg was my partner in the Villa Hills golf league for two years and he loved to share stories of his kids’ exploits with us. He was a fierce competitor and I pray that his grit is a common family trait that will help all make it through this tragedy of a life lost too early. We are out of state and cannot attend any of the services but will hold your family in our prayers.

Greg was a genuine, caring, true friend. Although we didn’t see each other often in these past years, it was comforting to know he would always be there to do anything in his power for a friend when needed. We will miss that. God bless you.

Just always know how much you meant to him and take comfort in that. May he rest in peace and watch over you forever! Love and prayers, the McMurry family
