Greg is remembered by myself as a Technician at Newcastle University as a lad who was part of a vibrant lively year of students who have had diverse careers and the love of adventure in the out doors . My thoughts are with his family at this time of great loss . He will always be remembered as one of the Geordie Surveying Graduates

It’s sad to hear of Greg’s passing. He was a great guy to talk to and visit with. I remember showing him around the Navajo Nation when he started with Trimble. He was very passionate about the evolving technology in land surveying and very professional. He definitely will be missed. My condolences to his family.

What a shock. Saima, not sure if you remember me. Greg and I worked together at Cansel in Edmonton. He was a great man and friend. I’m sure he will be greatly missed.
