For those that worked with Greg over the years, I don’t have to tell you how he showed up as a colleague, mentor, coach, partner or friend. He always listened and generously and patiently shared his wisdom and heart to ensure we made the right decisions or took the right action. And his wit! – that wicked sense of humor that always helped take the tension out of a tough situation and remind us to have fun and find joy in our lives and work, or (in my case) not take myself too seriously.

Greg fought so hard through his illness and thanks to a wonderful donor family who saved his life, had three more years with his beloved wife, Dr. Charla White, and sons Arian and Armon of whom he was so proud.  Our Cornerstones and Fairfax County communities cherished this extended time with him.  His sudden, unexpected death brings such sorrow.

Greg’s family is planning a celebration of his life next week. Below is the invitation and details. Greg always said he would not want a fuss when he died – he would prefer to be quietly remembered in ways that are special to each of you.  For me, I will miss our special greetings for one another (he was ‘boss’ I was ‘Jefe’) and the opportunity to work in partnership with a lifelong friend and brother.
Greg was one of a kind.  You rest now. We’ll pick up your charge.”
