Gone too soon sweet neighbor, rip and give our live to BILL.
So very sorry to hear the news of Greg’s passing, and my deepest sympathy’s to his family. He was a great guy who had a heart of gold. Rest easy my friend
I recall teaching Greg swimming lessons with Tina Teixeira down in Mattapoisett at the Point when he was growing up. He was a great athlete and swimmer. He always had a smile on, especially when he was about to pull a prank. I send you my deepest condolences and hope that in time your memories of happier times dry your tears.
I am so sorry to learn of this. My condolences to his family. Point Connett has such fond memories for many of us.
So glad to have known him.
My heart goes out to Greg’s family and to those who were closest to him. Greg will undoubtedly live on in our memories, as we will never forget the enthusiasm that he brought to everything he did.
My condolences to Jennifer and Jim and all the families. Trust with great memories, relatives and friends will help you through this difficult time. May He Rest In Peace.
We are all sorry to hear of Gregs passing, know the circle drive family has you all in our thoughts and prayers.
Thank you so much. It means a lot. It was a great supportive neighborhood.
Hi my friend . I had to find out your passing by an IG story. Man, how I wish I didn’t see that . I can’t believe you’re gone . Actually, I had a random thought of you days ago, and how you helped me get that job at Subaru. Appreciate the good word. You were always supportive of me, and used to talk to me about growing and making myself better in the car biz. You said I was better than just a car salesman. That laugh I’ll miss of yours, when I made you crack up and also being at your home and the hospitality that was given . You were like my part time dad away from home, Greg. You sleep well my friend . I’ll never forget you . My deepest condolences to the whole family during these sad times . Rest in Paradise.
Our sincerest condolences to all the Meyer family. Greg was special to us when he was a youngster at Pt. Connett in Mattapoisett. That handsome boy would show up at our door and ask if we would like to buy some of his lobsters and how many we would want. He’d add us to his list and go out to check his pots. That day or the next he would arrive back at our house with the requested number of lobsters and charge us $1.00 each!!! Of course, we always gave him a little extra! He was a great kid!
Am so sorry my condolences
I’m sad and shocked to hear this news. Greg was a close friend in high school and I regret not extending that friendship beyond those years. I have many good memories from our football years and even a couple of senior year skip days to Mattapoisett. My sincere sympathy to his family. Rest In Peace my friend…
I went to high school with Greg. What a great guy. May he rest in peace.🙏
Michael A Leslie,

My deepest regards to Greg’s family. I’m a very old friend from High School.
RIP MY FRIEND AND GOLF BUDDY YOU WILL BE MISSED BY THE GOLF COMMUNITY AT THE VIEW
This news is such a shock and very sad. I Went to Elementary School, High School and was also on football team with Greg. Had a nice long discussion with Greg at our last reunion. My thoughts and prayers to his family. RIP classmate….🙏🙏🙏
My condolences to his family. Greg was one of the most genuinely nice men whom I have ever met. He was always friendly and with kind words. Rest easy, my friend.
Ssocked and saddened to hear of your loss. MY deepest sympathy to Greg’s family. Remember him so well from high school. Talked with him at the last high school reunion a few years back.
RIP Greg
Greg was an amazing person blessed with a contagious personality and the ability to light up any room he was in. Greg mentored me like a little brother when we first started working together. He will always be remembered for his perfect and kind soul
Rest In Peace my friend, I love you
Michael I’m so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a very kind man. I’m sure he’s flying with the angels. Rest In Peace Greg.

Very Sad
Most revovled around that flower pot and the basketball hoop in circle drive.
Miss You Greg….
Bomber, I have always enjoyed playing golf with you. You’re a great competitor. Thank you for helping with my swing path.
I loved your strong commitment to your beliefs. You will be missed.
May your family remember always what made you great. God bless you and your family.

Kim and her family, I am so sorry to hear of Greg’s passing. Cancer is such a heartless disease as it has taken so many of our friends and family. I remember Greg so well at Point Connett. He certainly loved the water and fishing with his Dad. He will be so missed.
Greg was our insurance rep for many years at Crest Lincoln. I always loved seeing him come into the dealership. (I can still hear his laugh) He had such a great sense of humor and really loved people.
I know he will be missed by so many.
My deepest condolences to your family.
Condolences to Greg’s family for your loss. Greg was a classmate and teamate starting in elementary school right through high school. Growing up all the family cars were bought from his dad’s dealership. Yes, it was a small town.
Greg’s personality seemed to grow along with him. High school was a springboard for him to bigger and better things.
Ironically the last time I saw him was a few years ago at the high school Super Bowls at Gillette. It was good to see him and his personality was bigger than ever. I’m sure he will be holding court in Heaven.
A guy who not only touched his brother and sisters but his children as well. So very sad.
RIH, Greg.
This is awful news.
I am just so sorry.
Sending my love to your beautiful
family.
