Dear Greg, you had your battles trying to live with a broken heart but now your little Sal with the big brown eyes, has seen that it was time for you to go to rest and catch up on those cuddles. Greg you committed yourself to the SFNC and was one of the most respected junior coaches for the Tiger kids. You got down to their level so they were looking down on you and that's how it all worked. Our boys have very fond memories of those days,aswe do. Rest with peace now and we know your bright star will forever be guiding Joel and Penelope. Pete,Glenda and Gardner brothers.

Such sad news at the sudden passing of Greg. A wonderful man and an amazing coach of the under 14 footballers. Greg taught all those boys how to kick a football with both feet. They knew if they didn’t they would be taken off for a short rest.
Rest in peace Greg and reunited with your beautiful Sally’. Gone too soon.Jenny and Peter
