Greg and I were pretty good friends in high school...he was always looking for that adrenaline rush...and lived life to the fullest...after I got hit by the car on Crystal Beach my junior year it was the water skiing we did on the Neches River that actually helped my build my back strength again..
What is really strange is that I was at an LSU game with Kirsten and some friends and we were literally on the top row of the stadium. I hadn't seen Greg in a long while, but I told Kirsten that the guy down on the sideline in the wheelchair looked familiar. I did not know Greg was living in Baton Rouge either. So I go all the way down to the sideline and there is Greg, it's really weird that I could tell it was him from that far, we talked and promised to call each other soon, and within a very short time I found out he had passed away. I found it very strange as if something out of the ordinary brought me to him to see him...he seemed happy...I wish we would have talked more...
Anyway, Greg was a great guy and he always gave 100%+ at whatever he did even after his accident...may he rest in peace...
