Our familyhashad thepleasure
ofcallingGrega friend formany
years,andalso thedelight to
callhim family.
Although the family connections arise from
distant relationships, the friendship is in
no ways tenuous. And in that friendship
we have had the pleasure of witnessing his
great character. A character not born out of
perfection, but through ordeals and trials in
life that are oh-so-common and inevitably
necessary. The outcome of this has been that
aswehave seen the tremendous hardship and
physical tests that Greg has experienced in
the last few years, we have also been blessed
to witness his spiritual character, a character
fullof “courage, love, friendshipandempathy.”
And Greg will deny every word that we have
writtenhereabouthim.Anotherconfessionof
hischaracter.
And forall that,we simply say,ThankYou.

SincewearrivedinAustraliainAugust
1981,weknowyouasagood friend.
Always when there was a Baha’i event, like
summer or winter school I had to listen
carefully to your comments or any ideas or
suggestion you were making to understand
you because of your Australian accent and
thengradually Igotused to theaccent, but the
way of your kindly sincere and humbleness
and friendliness talking was helping a lot to
understandyou.
Myhusbandand I alwaysenjoyyour choirand
the music and the prayers you were saying
from The Bab and Baha’u’llah and I never
forgetwhen Iwas amemberof your choir and
sung the prayer from the Bab, God sufficeth
all things above all thing and nothing in the
heavenor on the earthbutGod sufficeth ........
InEnglishand inArabicaswell.
We enjoyed the plays The Face of Glory and
the Dizzy Dance and always thankful of how
you were gathering the youth in a nice, safe,
spiritual atmosphere and later onwe enjoyed
all the concerts about Baha’u’llah and Abdul-
Bahaand the recent one, FromOurHeartsTo
