I have always looked up to "G" and now I have to look a little higher. I felt a closeness to him even before I met him. He and I shared the town we were born in, I only found that out in his obit. He and I shared the "2012 CDC Man of the Year" award, something I will always cherish. His love for people will never be surpassed and his presence here will be surely missed. "G" was a special "one of a kind" person and I'm glad that our paths crossed a couple of times and wish it could have been more. It was an honor knowing him. While we suffer your absence heaven enjoys your presence. Your race has ended and you have run a great race. Many Blessings to you and your family.
