    I served in the Navy with Greg. Though we weren't close friends, he was definitely someone who was great to have around. Always upbeat, positive, teamwork spirited with a big heart. One of his greatest pleasures was removing the fiberglass roof off his Chevy Blazer and cruising around Virginia Beach with all his buddies.

    Greg, we have been friends for over 48 years probably meeting while playing a sandlot football game. We celebrated each otherâ??s weddings and raised our families. Life separated us for a while but our friendship with our group of friends never wavered. I can say that anyone that met you liked you and enjoyed your company. I will miss your easy going nature and your laugh. You were someone special and It was an honor to be your friend. Iâ??m going to miss you. Rest In Peace Piz. Jay Kosky
