I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Greg at Evolution and pray for him often.
Greg was a great person and I had a sudden thought to send this message. Still miss working with him. My son Patrick worked there one summer and Greg treated him so well. I’ll always be grateful. It was a gift to have known him.

Gayle, Mike and Grant and the rest of the Hanna and Goodale family, you have my deepest condolences. I learned of Greg's passing on my occasional view of the Kennedy HS Class of 1990. My heart sank as I remembered all the things good times we shared during out formative years. Things he taught still stick with me, I hated Elvis Presley but after hours of being forced to listen, I finally saw his point. How to make a great Old Fashioned as honed by him in his years of bartending. A perk that was great when he gave me free drinks when I was home from college. His knack for making anyone feel at ease around him and his ability to give anyone a nickname that encapsulated their personality exactly. Gone too soon but never forgotten.

I will always remember Greg for his ability to connect with anyone, perfect strangers even, and his illuminating presence in any crowd. Greg could disarm you with his sharp and honest observations, never afraid to call me out on something he would not agree on – and then having a laugh over the silly dialogue that would follow. So many good memories of our time in Houston and when he visited us in the Netherlands. Greg became the American ‘uncle’ to our eldest, teaching her the pledge of allegiance when she was just 1 month old. It shows his great sense of humor. Our memories with Greg are very special to us - a great loss, he will be missed dearly. Our thoughts go out to his family and everyone else that loved him. Arthur Kramer and Annelies Dullaert

Gayle, Mike, Grant and family, my heart goes out to you during this difficult time. For over twenty years I called Greg my friend, really one of my best friends. We were roommates, gym partners, groomsmen, Vegas travelers, bowl game attenders, Texas transplants (I in Dallas, he in Houston), political debaters, cigar aficionados and confidents. So many fond memories and stories, from GST (Goodale Standard Time) to hearing him call my nickname that should have long since been retired ("Killer, what's up buddy") every time I answered the phone. He had an infectious smile and an endearing quality that no matter how annoyed you might get with him (say after one of our many political debates) you couldn't stay mad or ignore his call. He exhibited a level freedom that I think many envied, but only he could pull off. His life was cut too short, but he made an impression and a positive impact on many of our lives and he will be greatly missed. RIP buddy.

Knowing that I'll never have chance to speak to see him again has been unbearable on occasion.
Greg was one of my best friends. I always looked forward to and enjoyed his company and conversation.
He was one of the most refreshingly forthright and sincere persons whom I've ever known. He was intelligent, compassionate, funny and I knew that I could always rely on him if I needed and in just the right way. He always knew what to say to me when I needed it. I just wish that he knew that he could rely more on me as well.
I miss him very much. I'm so sorry for your loss of him.

Good night, sweet prince,
