I miss you Greg. I love ya bro, your never far from my thoughts. Til we meet again my friend :)

Gregory -I remember this week as the first time I met with your mom over the most engaging and delicious Thai lunch. I feel your heart with your family and watch with awe how your mom follows her cooking dreams with you from above. Sending peace to you all.

Dear Gregory,

Trying as hard as we can to replace all the sadness of this day with all the wonderful memories we have of you. We hope you are flying over and keeping an eye on us even if we can't see you. And how excited you would be for Ali and her new digs in one of your favorite cities. Send love to Scooby and Grandma Lee and Papa and so many others who are keeping you company up there.

Love, Mom, Dad, and Ali

Happy 28th BD Gregory. We miss you every day. Have fun with Scooby and Papa.
28x❤️

Gregory, we always think of you whenever we see a hawk flying over us. Always flying free and high.

My Darlin Kiddo,

Never, ever will I forget this very day 5 years ago. It can't be so, this has to be a mistake. : (

Greg, you are so very missed and will forever have a big spot in my heart that belongs to us.

I love you, till we meet again.

Mom #2

Thinking of kind Gregory and his family today. I have a few really special memories of Gregory... meeting him when he was really young and he read with extreme excitement the Teletubbies book to me. Later, patiently teaching my husband and I about the Google glasses he was wearing at his mom's birthday party, and then a very passion driven SF trip where Gregory met up with me and his mom to take us to a favorite spot for lunch, and then Boba. It was always so fun to be around Gregory. May his family and friends continue to find comfort and peace in these shared memories. Much love

In reading many of the tributes today I am learning more about your beautiful amazing Gregory, and would have so loved meeting him. Sending your family continued strength for holding your loving memories dear with less pain.

Beth - my heart is with you and your family, always and today especially.

Dear Gregory:
On your anniversary, a day I’ll never forget
You are in my prayers as a kindest young man.
R.I.P. and know how much I love you!

Gregory - Papa left us yesterday (1/22/22) to be with you. Hope you can finally teach him how to use all the new technology and have his Rocky Road ice cream ready for him. He has missed you so very much.

What dad said - hope you and Scooby are taking care of each other. I keep thinking I could not miss you more but I do every day. We had a simple but delicious dinner to celebrate and of course, banana cake for dessert. Send the hawk for a visit. Love, Mom, Dad and Ali

Happy Birthday (yesterday) GTL. 
We miss you every day; have fun with Scooby!

Gregory -- I know you would be so proud of the work you mom has done in her food world, and especially her current venture. Your energy and cooking mastery are surely guiding her now.

I think about you a lot Gregory. It's a pain to not be able to share my adventures with you. At one point you were one of the only ones I would speak to about regarding all things technology and I will always remember the things we tinkered with. I will keep on keeping on, and my heart goes out to Beth, your family, and extended family of friends and loved ones.

I never met Gregory but wish I had. I will always want to hear the stories and see photos of Gregory's cooking adventures. My thoughts are with you all, especially today on the celebration of his 26th year in your hearts.

Happy 26th Birthday Gregory. We love and miss you always.

Fred & I were happy to spend this past weekend with Beth, Doug, and Alison. We are missing you Gregory. We continue to keep your family close and hope to fill our futures with happy memories. 

Love the Lams

The holidays were best spent in the company of the Lee family. We had this tradition of going to San Francisco the weekend before Christmas to see the city's decorations, buy some last minute Christmas presents, and most importantly, eat really good food.

Gregory always mastered this season with his especially abundant generosity. I remember a story my sister told me about how he saw a scarf that he knew would look really good on her. When he noticed her eyeing it, but not willing to buy it for herself, he stealthily bought it behind her back and surprised her with the scarf. He was full of those surprises, and had an eye for nice things. But they were more than "things," they were a symbol of his always attentive friendship. He always noticed you, he always listened, he was so attuned to the people he cared about.

Gregory always had an open door. Alison and I were best friends growing up and I spent the night at the Lee's as much as I could. Though I would come to have sleepovers with Ali, the bathroom that connected Ali's and Gregory's room was a path to a wonderful friendship with Gregory, too. Gregory would pirate any movie Ali and I wanted to watch, offer the perfect compliment that always made you feel better about the thing you were feeling insecure about, and was always, always willing and present for a conversation.

I miss you extra this holiday season, Gregory. Happy memories of my childhood can't exist without you among them. Rest easy, Gregory.

Thinking of you all on this difficult day.

Dearest Gregory:
You are in my heart, caring  the fondest
Memories of your love and kindness,
From the first moment I met you I felt a strong
Connection. Thank you for getting to know you
And your wonderful mom, dad and sister.
Your grandparents Always talk about you when we get together, they are amazing.
R.I.P. Gregory. On this 3rd anniversary the memories of you are so great because you’re are so special.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love,
Tamara

Gregory, it is impossible to believe you have been gone for 3 years. You have been greatly missed by many people, more than you could possibly imagine. Cousin Jay

Gregory Thomas Lee, the Lams are thinking of you and missing you today. We are lucky to have your family in our lives.  Everytime we see a bird soaring we think that your spirit is looking over us.

Gregory - You would be so proud of your mom sharing her passion for cooking, photography, and her memories of creating with you. She is a star!

Thinking of you, your family and all the wonders you’ve left.

Dear Beth-i love you much.

Today is your 25th birthday dear Gregory,
I called you Greg. You’ve been missed so ... much.
You are stil My Loving and beautiful young man
With a big hart.
R.I.P. darling.

Dear Gregory,
You are not only on this Yom Kippur in my thoughts, forever remembered as a kind
Young man, who was near me at the services or when your mom drove us to Oakland , spice shop.
Love,
Tamara

Gregory, your mother created the most beautiful post and jam in your honor. You would be so proud, sharing it here. https://omgyummy.com/strawberry-raspberry-jam/?et_bloom_popup=true
I missed spending Rosh Hashana with you and the family this year but hope to visit your parents and enjoy a taste of jam together in your honor along with a glass of Rosé. As I shared with your mom, memories and healing through food. Leaving thoughts of rosé, apples and honey for you. Forever in our thoughts, forever missed. Wishing all souls a Shana Tova and Gmar Hatima Tova.

Hey buddy, your still in my thoughts a lot. I miss you so much, I don't think I'll ever get over losing you Greg. I've been on the road to recovery for almost 15 months, if only you were here to explore it with me :(. I miss all our long conversations. I was thinking of our fight back in 2015 when I was in Vegas. I felt guilty because I don't think I ever got to apologize, since we got disconnected when I went to rehab. It was minor but it just came to my mind, you came through for me even though I was acting like a child. That's why you were so awesome Greg, you were one of the most understanding & kind people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I cherish all the years we had together.
:(
Love you buddy

R.I.P Gregory. Heaven needed you more than us. We’ll all get together one day.

Gregory, the call I got two years ago from Sharon, it was devastating. I in turn then called your mother's friends to share what no one wishes ever to do. I can share ever since an even brighter community has surrounded your family keeping your memory with them. Your mother and father are active and busy, you always in their heart. As I work on new projects, I think how fortunate I am you were able to help me in the past and how lovely it would be to have your help now. And thinking of you always brings a warm smile. Your memory is a blessing Gregory. Your kindness and brightness still shines forever - in eternal peace. Sending lots of love.

Happy birthday Gregory. Though I never knew new, through your Uncle Garry, I feel as I did. Keep heaven ready for us as we once again will join our loved ones. Until then you are safe in the arms of the lord, our heavenly keeper.

Thinking of you, Gregory, on your 24th birthday. Even though I only met you a few times, your wonderful mother has shared so many stories about you that I feel I know you well. And I know how much your family loves and misses you. I’m forever thankful for our shared experience over a Teletubbies book, and then later, over some fantastic food in a San Francisco eatery off of Castro. You were one sweet guy! ❤️

Your son Gregory is remembered and missed as one of the most kind
And adorable young man who be came a part of my Family from the day one I’ve met him. He helped incerdibly when I lost my mother
And comforting me. I love you dear Greg.Tamara

Gregory today is your birthday. Thinking of you and of your family. I found an old email and thought to share it in this forum so your family can hear your words and take pleasure in how mature, organized, and professional you were in communication. I wanted to add the picture to this note, didn't quite manage, and thought certainly you could probably figure that out. I feel blessed to have had an opportunity to work with you and get to know your kind and gentle spirit. And appreciate just how much of a tech savvy teen indeed your are. Your spirit is forever missed here amongst us, but perhaps some comfort to know that your spirit is soaring free above. As we move another year around the sun, may your memory continue to shine in so many hearts.

What can we say about our wonderful grandson whom we miss more then words can express. Wherever you are dear Gregory know that you are never out of our hearts and minds. We miss you and love you very much. Love always from grandma & Poppa

Greg was always such a happy guy. I can’t remeber a single moment where he wasn’t happy. We spent all of freshman year together at SFSU. Greg was always out for an adventure. I remember one day he came home with a bowling ball and a set of pins that he had gone all the way out to Oakland to retrieve. We ended up bowling in the middle of the night with the people of our floor. We even accidentally put a hole in the wall. Later that semester we adopted a cat together. We named him Winston and only had him for a short time because we realized we couldn’t give him the life he diserved. Greg was always a supportive and loving friend. When I found out he passed I couldn’t believe it. We shared a birthday and I was just thinking about him this week. He always pops in my head every once in a while. I miss you Greg and I’m sorry we didn’t spend more time together once I left San Francisco. I hope you are well wherever you are. alav ha-shalom

A year ago, you passed today and now my heart aches. I've thought of you so much in the past year and can't help but feel guilty that we didn't hangout more in the months leading up. We even made plans to meet up but they feel through, and that makes me terribly sad.

You inspired me to pursue software engineering and now I'm really making my best efforts to make that a reality. I wish you could see my progress now but I know that if you did, you would be proud. My heart goes out to you and your family, Greg.

Gregory was my favorite boy, the most loving
And caring. He gave us all his true love and
I am blessed to carry a memory of Gregg
In the brightest light, special in every way.

Gregory is truly missed not only by this family and friends but also by others such as me. Gregory was a selfless person who assisted me several times. He "hacked" a movie for me....if I can say that. He was a genius. He also assisted me as a detective....He was a kind guy who is truly missed. Rest In Peace....kind child. May time heal your loss.

I love you bro. I had a dream about you saturday night when your birthday popped up. I then woke up and it was so strange, the radio I was listening to was talking about loved ones visiting you in dreams. i don't know if that was me seeing your birthday or what, but the synchronicity was intense. I miss you so much my friend, you'll be in my heart forever

I miss you and love you from the bottom
Of my heart sweat Gregory.

On a typical 5th grade morning, watching Mr. Laraway frantically trying to access the classroom network, just for fun, Gregory had changed the passwords. Mr. Laraway had to somehow cajole Gregory into telling him what the password was. Gregory was clearly the hero of the day because it meant the kids could relax for an hour or so while Mr. Laraway tried to regain access.

It was the funniest thing I ever saw. Our family is so saddened that the world has lost such a talented and fun kid.

When Gregory and I were in high school, we went to see Perks of Being a Wallflower in theaters. The main character of the movie, Charlie, hung out with kids who were much older than him, which I didn't understand at all. Gregory, on the other hand, said that he related a lot to that aspect of Charlie. Gregory was truly a friend to all, completely open to anyone without giving a second thought as to how they were different from him.

A few months later, Gregory gave me a framed picture he designed of the quotation "We accept the love we think we deserve" - a famous line from Perks of Being a Wallflower. I was touched by his heartfelt gift, but again, Gregory was way ahead of me, as I had no idea what that line meant at the time. I'm still trying to figure out what it means to be honest, but I think of Gregory every time I see the picture he gave me or think of that line. Gregory was one of the most genuinely kind and generous people I've ever met, and I'll miss him very much.

Dear Beth, Doug, and Alison, It took me awhile to leave you a note as I am a bit awkward in my words. We are so truly sorry for the loss of Gregory. I have been spending time reading all the wonderful tributes and your story of his life and it breaks my heart just how little we knew of him even though we live on the same street. Reading about all the gadgets he installed in your house reminds me of my brother (who passed young as well); he too was the high-tech expert that outfitted my parents house with technology that can still be seen today. We really only knew Gregory when he was young, watching Bill assemble all the Halloween props for our annual display. He was so inquisitive at that young age watching Bill assemble the electronics and asking so many questions. Boy would he laugh at our lack of electronic knowledge now! I truly believe that one day we will all be together again with our loved ones. Perhaps Gregory and my brother Jeff will help light a grand entrance for all of us one day.

I met Gregory during our freshman year of college through his roommate, with whom I had graduated the summer before. During my very first meeting with Gregory at one of the dining locations on campus, I mused about an issue I was having with my phone, and he immediately picked up my phone off the table and fixed it. From that point on through the rest of the year, I found myself in near daily communication with him, either through Hangouts, or quite literally hanging out with him in his dorm room until 3 AM or at various places around campus or the bay.

To friends and family, I often compared Gregory to a modern day Sherlock, if Sherlock had also been given innate people skills. Gregory's incredible intelligence coupled with his innate interpersonal skills gave him command of virtually any situation, in a way that I had never seen before - Gregory was truly the most gifted individual I have ever met in my life.

Once I moved back home after my first year, we talked less often and I only saw him in person a few times after that, a fact which I now deeply regret. Last year, during my last time seeing him in person, we were planning to meet up for a little bit between his classes after I picked my girlfriend up from the airport. As the time drew nearer, it was clear that both her flight and my arrival were going to be delayed. I apologized to him, and offered just to meet up for a few minutes on campus so he could make his class on time. Instead, he offered to take his only unexcused absence in his upcoming class, just so we'd still have enough time to spend a few hours together. In his words, "I'd rather spend the limited time I get to spend with you and Alayna." I tried to express how much that meant to me, and I hope he knew it - his unwavering kindness and sheer unselfishness is something I'll never forget.

I miss you, Gregory - San Jose will be a lot quieter without you.

Just prayers and love to all. Love Jodi

I am so very sorry to hear about Gregory's passing. Gregory was a very special and very talented soul. I vividly recall times when Mark would become perplexed over a computer issue and Gregory would appear at our front door eager to help. He not only found a solution to the problem, but also had an array of suggestions for the future in case anything happened again. We were always so impressed by his dedication, hard work, and vast computer knowledge. He will be missed by our entire family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. With love, Gigi

Beth dearest-I am at a loss for words. I only had the briefest time to glimpse into your son's unusual mind, but the impression still lasts. I remember smiling all the time, at his way, at your interaction. My thoughts are firmly with you. Much love to you, your lovely daughter and your husband.
