    R.I.P. my friend Rabbit. St Thomas lost a freind and warm face. I cant remember how many times I would make the rounds in STT. Whereas I would walk in and out of most places on dead nights, I would always stick around for a glass or two at Epernay because of Rabbit. He would always say “Only 1?”….and my response was that HE was the reason I that stayed for one.

    I’m very sad about this loss. Greg aka Rabbit, was a very good friend. I remember when he said that it was “the year of the rabbit” He stuck around when everyone left! I will miss him so much.

    I don’t know how many times I have finished the night with a glass of wine in his company.
    His smile will always be remembered.

    Greg was so much fun to hang with, talk to & work with. We worked together @ Duffy’s Loveshack years ago. He always had a huge smile on his face & nicer hair than me..lol. He will deeply be missed. My condolences to his family & all who knew & loved him. Love you, Rabbit!

    All the years we worked together, and for a while were neighbors, Greg (Rabbit) was always the positive guy, someone you could count on, and had the biggest s**t eating grin I’ve ever seen. And always had it on his face! It’s sad to think I’ll never see it in person again, or hear his raspy New York voice or sarcasm…. Rest in Peace my friend, you will be missed…..

    I was very saddened to read this- I grew up across the street from Greg and his brother, John, on Long Island- they were both nice guys…. RIP Greg
