Those reading this may not understand, but I know you will.
Love you.
Cheers to you.
I could never figure out why.
I mean, he was alright.
But then again, you always had peculiar tastes for many things ...myself being one of them.
I am honored to have been one of them.
I love you brother. You are ever in my prayers.
I still miss you to this day. The short time we had together made me see you as something like a big brother. You showed me many things, I learn a lot... To think that I am already a different person because our paths had crossed, who knows who else I would be if we could have had more time.
I stepped near the nook where I keep all the souvenirs from our adventures. I accidentally knocked down the badges we had all signed together (Beth, you, and myself). I miss those times dearly, just as I miss you.
Been thinking of you so much lately. Especially the time when we went on the Segway tour of the Capitol. I thought about that this past few weeks when they were storming up the steps, and how much fun that trip had been. I've got so many good memories, thank you for that.
I see what you're doing lately. The older he gets, I can see 'you' in Natale's profile. His hair, his nose, a facial expression once in a while.
Miss you little brother...wish I could give you a hug.
I miss you a lot buddy. I'll watch an episode of Doctor Who and think of you.
Happy birthday baby.
I miss you. We all do.
Thank you for being my friend and brother.
Tommy
I just wanted to let you know and your loved ones that I still miss you and I still have you in my thoughts.
The holidays are never going to be easy with you gone. I'm thinking about your family and friends who have lost you.
You made this world a better place. I wish you could be here still.
I sometimes wish I could call you and be like "Hey do you remember?" but i can't. And there is no-one else who remembers how funny that event was. because at the end of the day, i'm not remembering the sadness or the anger, but all of the times we laughed.
Who remembers things like camping and watching the West Wing on your Macbook? Or sitting in the movie theater in London watching an ungodly amount of commercials... or the memory I had the other day when we were in Circus Circus quoting Fear and Loathing and Las Vegas to each other and laughing hysterically.
Free-range garbage indeed. Five breakfasts at McDonalds.
I know your still quoting movies somewhere in the universe.
We hold you in our hearts.
Here is hoping you are going on Greg trips across the universe.
Miss you and your smile.
Could never forget your birthday. Or you.

Still Having an Impact on my Life
Thank you. In 2005 you hounded me into becoming one of the first podcasters. No one had ever heard of it, but today, as a result, I have friends in high podcasting spaces and all kinds of podcasting cred. And I have a successful podcast which all came out of what you dragged me into kicking and screaming.
I've also had a lot of chance to reflect on our time working on my custom learning platform (which I dragged you into kicking and screaming the same year - I got you back ;-) ) as I transition my programs from one platform to another.
As much as I remember your soft grace and warmth, I miss pushing each other into new arenas. I love you still.
I've salvaged as much as I could of the 365 Tao podcast that we worked on together. It's nice to hear your voice from time to time. Miss you.
There's always a way to remember Greg
I had to snap out of the revery and good times I've had with him, and how I miss him, before I could get back to reality and see how I could apply what I had learned from him to my current situation. It's been a few weeks that Greg has been in the gack of my mind, as everything I do and touch on this podcast makes me think of him.
I miss you buddy.
