About | Greg, my best friend for over fifty years, recently died of cancer. Over two decades ago he discovered a large tumor and had successful surgery. He had been completely healthy and active till a recurrence about three years ago. At that time he had new surgery and then chemo treatments off and on for the next three years. He was able to stay active doing the things he loved (golf and fishing) and continued working until the last few months. He was participating in clinical trials contributing to find ways to combat this type of cancer when he succumbed at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston Massachusetts. Greg is survived by his wife and three children and his brothers Fred and Doug (both PHS grads). Among others, Carl Cork, Steve Arnold George Epstein, Ken Epstein, Randy Felts and Yosh Yamada were able to talk with Greg during his last few days. Greg's friends are putting together a narrative of his life as seen through the eyes of those who knew him and did things with him.
