Jeff, Jennifer, Carol & Mr. Dawkins, how heart-breaking it was for me to hear of Greig's passing. He was without question among the best kids to have on your team in our sandlot football, baseball and basketball games on Avenue N. I have nothing but fond memories of Greig and your family. May God carry you in this time of your grief and rejoice in your memories of a life well lived. Joe Ortiz

I loved the way Greig always could make anyone laugh, no matter if you were in a bad mood, sad, angry he would get you laughing one way or another. I remember how he referred to me as cross-eyed Mary due too my eyes being crossed. Greig you were one of a kind and will truly be missed by so many . Love you always my friend!

Greig will always hold a special place in my heart as the father of my nephew, Grant. He treasured every moment they spent together. Whether it was out on the lake fishing, watching the Astros or Dallas Cowboys, Grant will always cherish those special memories the two have shared. Althought his life was short, Greig did live it to the fullest. I will always remember that smile and how he could always make us laugh. Greig, you will be deeply missed by all who loved you!

My condolences to Greig's Family. I never met Greig in person however I worked with him and conversed with him for several years during his work time at Stewart & Stevenson. He always seemed like a straight forward guy and I admired that and his knowledge in the parts department at Stewart & Stevenson. He made it a point to let me know when he was leaving for retirement at S&S and he was so looking forward to his move. My heart and prayers go out to all his family greiving him but I know he is in his eternal retirement home with God. Bea Trevino-Stewart & Stevenson Employee
