Dear Marni, Sheryl, Todd, Drew and family,
I learned of Greg's passing this morning and am heartbroken as you are to learn of this tragic loss and you have my most heartfelt sympathy. It would take me quite a long time to tell you about all of the wonderful things your husband, son and brother meant to me beginning with our years of building the hotel together in Oakland, and mentoring, and the time he spent with us here at Crossgates, Inc .I genuinely loved Greg; keep a picture of him and Marni on my mantle over the years, and always was happy when we were able to reconnect over the years. I am at a loss for words but I want you to know that your husband, son and brother had a profound influence on my life in the way he carried himself as a young man and I was always happy to call Greg my friend. I am so terribly sorry for our loss. I have all of you in my thoughts and prayers and am sorry i could not be with you yesterday. If I can do anything for you and your family during this sad time, please feel free to reach out to me...412-287-2849
