I met Greg when I worked at Vista Valencia Golf Course. What a sweet, friendly and interesting man he was. His whole face lit up when he smiled that beautiful smile. He told me all about the Canyon Theater Guild so with my husband and some friends we started going once in awhile.......not long before we all were hooked and decided to join with a membership. Seeing Greg at the different plays was always like running in to an old best friend....he greeted all of us with open arms and a warm hug to go along with that amazing smile.

My own husband, Jim Sinclair passed suddenly on January 3rd of this year. I'd like to think that he and Greg are having the time of their lives playing golf up in heaven.

RIP sweet man, you will be missed as well as my own sweet husband will.........

No woman was ever more blessed than I to have met you, fallen in love with you, had you fall in love with me, shared a life (and a brain, you always said), and built an amazing family. You were my strongest supporter, my biggest fan, my soulmate, my best friend. I don’t know how I will manage without your love, encouragement, faith,and support. I always told you that you were my best husband :) I hit the jackpot with you and I miss you so very much. I will always love you, and will carry on like the trouper you always said I was. Rest in peace my sweet. You went the way you always wanted to…..but way too soon. Sweet dreams. See you in my dreams. It was a wonderful life

Greg and I worked together many times. It was always a happier session having Greg there at the studio. Always smiling, wearing his golf hat, a true professional and friend. Years ago we worked on a very low budget feature film and I watched Greg put a frog to sleep.. the frog was to be discovered in a salad and no one had thought ahead but Greg stepped in and saved the shot. Greg had many skills!
My heart does out to Patty and his children as I know this must he a huge loss. Greg was a huge personality with a huge heart. He touched many lives. Rest in peace my friend.. and I hope you are standing on the 1st tee on a gorgeous golf course……

Mr. Finley.

I didn’t have the opportunity to know you, but knowing your sons i feel I do. You raised two of the finest individuals I know, and know they reflect your love and kindness from first hand experience. I wish you well in exploring your new role of loving and taking care of your family from the heaven's.

I never had the chance to meet Greg, only knowing him through his voice acting. Looking at his photos, this was a happy man with a full life. I am truly sorry he is gone. I pray his family will be comforted in this terrible time and I am grateful to Tony Oliver for sharing his memories of Greg. Thank you, Greg Finley, for your iconic voice over as Captain Gloval and for leaving a lasting mark on the anime and voice acting world. May you find restful peace.

I will always remember Greg as an upbeat, warm person. When I think of him, I see that big, handsome smile that could light up a room. May his memory be a blessing.

Greg I will always remember the great times we had singing Barbershop Harmony. Our name Chordz a Poppin
You were a great lead singer.
Jeanie my wife remembers coming to
Your home on New Years Day 2004.
It was our first date and she will never forget how gracious and warm you and
Patti were towards her.
As everyone else has already said you
were larger than life,spreading love and
joy.
Our condolences to Patti and family.
You will be missed by us and many more.

My sweet friend - there are no words for what a loss this is for so many - especially Patti and your kids …( and the puppies ). Larger than life itself.. just reading all the beautiful posts .. I’ve known you for 70+ years .. In My heart you will always be here. ♥️

Rest in peace, Greg. I will always remember your stories of old and your laughter at the theatre. May your soul find eternal happiness, knowing that you brought so much joy to the lives you touched.

Dearest Greg, Your passing has left a void and sadness in so many of us who have known you for years, or perhaps just months. I was fortunate enough to know you since childhood – at Hawthorne School in BH.  You were larger than life, kind, generous, brave, and so very talented.  Regardless of where our various paths led us over the decades since high school, once we were all able to reconnect through Facebook, you took the time and effort to reach out and connect in that unique and warm “Greg” way. Safe journey, dear Greg, and deepest condolences to Patti and your family. We were all enriched by your presence.  Love, Lizzie

I am not a person of many words, so all I can say is I SALUTE YOU MY BROTHER. REST IN PEACE. You will be and are already MISSED!! ❤️

Greg was an amazing person. He was talented, personable, lovable, sweet, intelligent, and all around a fabulous person. His smile lit up every room. He truly cared about every person he ever met. Went to High school with him and he was always there to offer encouragement, advice, hugs and real friendship. Any problem one ever had, Greg was there to help, give advice, and just lend a shoulder. The world lost someone very very special two days ago. Greg, you left us way too early. Sending love and support to his family. Eileen Gillen Zube

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for allowing me and my family to meet this wonderful man in our lifetime. I don't have to mention what a tribute his presence was at the Canyon Theatre Guild. The many lives he enriched by his contagious laughter. The warm hugs he offered to all of us. He and his wife Patti made my house their home for a few years. Then, I lost them when they moved to Idaho to be closer to their children and grandchildren. We stayed in touch. Greg, you are missed.

Greg, you were ,and , still are the soul of our class!!
You never turned anyone away ,you always had a kind word, and a smile for everybody.
We were all very close, and I feel that you helped keep us together.
You and Patti created a gorgeous family, and we all felt that we were part of it-due to your openness and love.
You will be missed every day and we will never forget you.
May your memory for a blessing.

Sweet Greg,

It's been a few days now and I am still hoping that this is just a dream. I can't believe that you are gone and the world doesn't get to see your wonderful, sparkling smile and joyful presence anymore. Now, although I haven't known you nearly as long as a lot of others, your cheerfulness and warm character can make anyone feel like they've known you for decades. I feel so incredibly lucky to say that I had the chance and time to have you grace my life. I feel so lucky to have been able to be not only share our collective love of theater but also to be part of your care as your (and Patti's) nurse for some time. Anytime we crossed paths, I always cherished your warm embrace and your caring nature. I will surely miss those great big bear hugs and lovely kisses! I wish so much that I could have just one more embrace. Triston and I were recently at the theater this past weekend, and we were desperately searching for you even though we knew that you weren't there. It broke our hearts. I can't even begin to fathom what your lovely Patti is going through and I can't stop thinking about her. I hope that she will forever feel your presence and feel your arms around her; her best friend continuing to love and comfort her. I love you both!

I am unable to process Greg’s passing. So big in stature and personality with a heart of gold. His loving and generous nature was one of his positive attributes. I never realized what he meant to all of us who were fortunate to know him until his passing. He has left an indelible mark in each of our lives. His vibrant voice and take charge attitude was something to admire. There are no words that describe the devastating impact of his passing. He adored his soulmate Patti and loved his family. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him. RIP my dear friend. I love you. ❤️

Greg,
This is Peter. I grew up with you in Beverly Hills. I lived on Elm directly across the alley from you. We played together. You were Delta I was Gamma SOG. I was there the last few days you were getting ready to go home, I have many stories. I lived up the road from Merlin, in O’brien. I’ve always been meaning to connect with you.
I’ll never forget you.
(Peter Margolies Levin)

I am absolutely shocked. As we all must be. I'm just grateful that I had the opportunity to see Greg Finley ... In Oregon with Patti, Guy, and Gene this last summer. Social media has kept us in contact through the years. I grew up just a few blocks from the Finley's. It was like a second home to me. And there were these two archetypal Big Brothers around, Greg and Guy.
All I can say,... is that he was magnanimous in every way ...especially his smile, which seemed to perpetually shine and illuminate the space around him. His joy and love for life was sincere and spontaneous. A great man, worthy of our collective admiration, love, prayers and blessings.
May all of the hearts be comforted in this time of transition. May Greg's memory, forever be a blessing.
