“The oldest of his brothers and sisters, Gregg was a major health and well-being of Pompano Beach, Florida. Known for his contagious personality, his positive energy and his kindness, he brightened each piece he entered. Well known in the Southern Florida region for its basketball prowess, a lot is missing.
“Let us remember Gregg not only for his achievements in sport, but for the kindness and warmth he shared with everyone. He will forever remain a part of our university family.”
