I am so sorry to hear about such a loss. We had the pleasure of having him as a mentor for nine years of participating in the volunteer programm in San Lucas. We where witnesses of what he meant to the people there and to many of us who met him.He will live forever in our hearts and in every corner of San Lucas Toliman.
we will always remeber him

What a terrible news this is, specially for thousands of Mayan indigenous men, women and children, in San Lucas Toliman, Guatemala, where father Greg served for many years, who found hope, work, housing and dignity in the many projects that Father Greg leaded over time. CFCA was blessed with the gift of a man of honor and true devotion for those in need. Please continue to watch over us, Father Greg, we still need you in our mission.

i have had the great privilege of taking 5 mission trips to San Lucas and met,talked with and listened to Father Greg. He was truly a saint on earth. I have not been there since 2006 but the announcement of his death wears heavily on my heart.

I remember meeting Father Greg on a MAT trip to Guatemala. No question he was very genuine in his love of other. I enjoyed his homilies and talks. A lost no doubt, but hopefully an influence on others to continue the work with the poor and forgotten. My condolences to any surviving family members and for all his friends and to those in the San Lucas Toliman area.

My wife and I met Fr. Greg on a MAT to San Lucas in 2009. You could not help but love that gentle, caring man. We returned to San Lucas in December of this past year and learned of his health issues and his longing to return to his beloved Guatemalan family. Now that God has called him home, there is certainly a new Saint advocating passionately for his people.

He was a wonderful man and did so much for the people of Guatemala for 48 years. It was my pleasure to have met him.

Fr. Greg was a very intellectually gifted, spiritual man who set a fine example for us all. RIP Fr. Greg.

Talk about coincidences, or “small world”, I was baptized in the parish from which Father Greg hailed – Holy Trinity, New Ulm, MN. I have only been around him a few times but feel a sense of loss. He was very very special. This man, this priest, will be sorely missed.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Father Greg. If memory serves me right, he was not in San Lucas when we were there last July, but it was clear that everyone there revered him.
