This existence of ours is as transient as clouds, to watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at a movement in dance. A lifetime is like a flash of lighting in the sky, rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain.
By Budda Sakuamuni

Nothing is static or fixed, that all is fleeting and impermanent, is the first mark of existence.

The extraordinary thing is that when you do accept death and impermance, you realize you're not losing anything at all, In fact, you are gaining everything. It's as if you are losing the clouds, but gaining the sky.

To Gregors Kemains Daughters:

Your Father was a great man, he was not perfect, no body is, however, he was good hearted, had the greatest smile it would light up a room, and he was loved by many more than you will ever know, you were very lucky to have him as your Father.
I too will always love him and hope to plant a tree in his name at the Wall-Custance in Onterio, Canada this will be in memory of him from All those who loved him. your names will be added to this memorial too.

Hey Daddy,
I've been thinking about you like crazy and reading these recent random tributes I begin to realize that you are missed and loved by many, not just me. I also realize that your life started far before I was born in 1984 and there are things I still don't know and may never understand. It still hurts like May 19th 2011 when I sit and think about the fact that you are gone. Just that thought alone makes my eyes water. Aina and I miss you, so glad you were our dad! Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I promise to let you know more often

Greg,

Just so you know, I always loved you, I just did not want to stand in your way. I do regret not having our little boy. however you later married and had 2 one's. it hurt to find out you are not here on earth, I prayed for you today. I just found out , I had a glass of wine and dedicated it to you too. Thank you for your smile and all the joy we once shared. Hope your Family is well.

I am sorry to hear about this today. we had met at Norman's Cafe on College Avenue, while I danced Classical Ballet across the street. we were together while he managed Joli Cafe, and I met his parents. I will never forget the times we had together as well he's lovely smile. I am so sorry to family and friends. condolences even if late, I had not idea until I typed in his name, he would have been the father of my child in 1980.

I <3 You Daddy.. I'm am not in as much pain, but I still miss you more then imaginable, and you are in my thoughts daily... Tenisha and I take boxing classes together, and it makes me feel closer to you :-) ..

I think of Greg daily. Tonight I was working on a short story about my days in Oakland when I cooked at Cafe Joli. Now I'm here. Sadness. Greg was truly kind, gentle, sweet and oh so terribly innocent. I NEVER saw him express anger--or even frown. Older than me, yet the perpetual younger brother--lathered in pain and always struggling. He knew how to love. I love him. timothy nazareth.

I met Greg in the late 70s and we were friends for several years before life got in the way. I remember Greg as one of the most loving, positive forces I've ever met. He loved life and all in it. I just found out recently about his death, and it has saddened me terribly. I'm sure he was a great dad. I know he must have imparted his joy and warmth to a new generation. Lisa

I'm absolutely shocked! I've been searching for Camilla and decided to look up Greg, too. I remember when Greg and Camilla fell in love. Camilla and I were best friends. It was a love like I'd never seen. I remember Greg as a vivacious spirit, full of energy and love.
May God rest his soul. May the Girls find peace in the love he had for them. Roz (Fluker).

I Miss you so much Daddy, My heart doesn't beat the same now that your gone. I never imagined any of this. Part of me felt like you would live forever. But I never let that thought stop me from telling you how much I love you...

June 10, 2011

When I was a kid, you were larger than life. When I was a teen, you were protector and teacher. When I turned into an adult, you taught me the power of forgiveness. May the light of peace surround your soul.

Happy Birthday, Gregor's life here on earth is complicated so having a cold brew is not as easy with old friends. Our son would have enjoyed you anyway, I am sure you are having fun in Heaven with all the beautiful angles and party in heaven is better than here on earth.
Love always your favorite dancer, Sonya

In memorium for Greg

February 17, 2019

First I extend my deepest condolences to his beautiful family; I was saddened by the news of his passing. Greg and I attended Orinda Union School in 1964-65 while in the 5 grade. Looking for friends on Facebook I came upon the news and it hit me like a punch; I wished time hadn't gone by in such a way.++

To You Gregors

December 25, 2013

It's Christmass 2013 and New Year 2014, I will leave California in the Near future to the Island of Puerto Rico. I just want to remember you today cause it is Christmass and in New Years and all the days and years in between now and always best to your girls and family.

I decided to type in Greg's name today it's 2013, here in Berkeley, CA it's funny how life just slaps you in the face with your past relationships. I recall his smile and the last words I heard come out of his mouth as he passed by... I do not recall the day or time.

We split up due to my emotional upset about Yoshies daughter who had come between us while I was pregnant by Greg. I did not want to have the child alone, I was dancing ballet at the time for a very long time after. Cafe Joli was a very nice place I recall how we had met at Norman's he got soup and salad my favorate, later we would hang out at Sheldon's real nice place.

I was angry once because I got up early and saw Yoshies daughter there at Sheldon's I was pregnant and very emotional about this, after years now I realized our son would have been 35 at his 55 year, wow, how I regret this because I did not want to make his life or mine complicated, it was nice in the end he turned out to be a great father. I had a beautiful girl later on. I always thought of what could have been.

I currently feel sad and sick to find this out in 2013. I wonder why he died so soon? what went wrong?? was he ill? what happened?
