USAmedalfreak Posted April 5, 2011 Share #128 Posted April 5, 2011 I didn't know him, but sounded like a great guy, and taken before he could enjoy the best retirement years. I would say that he helped create a great US forum with a friendly atmosphere with many knowledgeable members. Thks KW Link to post Share on other sites

Alec Posted April 6, 2011 Share #133 Posted April 6, 2011 Greg will be missed. He was quick to offer up his knowledge and collection when I was researching and writing Grunt Grunt. He asked for nothing in return except to further everyone's knowledge of Marine Corps material history. Link to post Share on other sites
Whisky Beck Posted April 6, 2011 Share #134 Posted April 6, 2011 I did not know Marine KaBar. I had seen his name on a post or two. But as a Brother Marine, may God have Mercy on his soul and rest in peace with the Lord. Semper Fi WB Link to post Share on other sites

Gregory Posted April 8, 2011 Share #144 Posted April 8, 2011 Good God… so sad news. I remember Greg since early 2000s from the gunboards.com where we discussed many times about the USMC equipment, field gear, history etc. Also here it has always been a great pleasure to see Greg's very informative posts. RIP Greg Link to post Share on other sites

collector Posted April 15, 2011 Share #147 Posted April 15, 2011 Just noticed the dedication under the headline banner. His co-founding of this valuable forum and his willingness to answer my sometimes, in retrospect, dumb questions, as well as his valuable advice on Ka-Bar purchases will always be remembered with respect. Greg was an amazing resource for all of us, I'm fortunate to have gotten a couple of items from his collection. Sorry I never got to shake his hand and say 'thanks'. Link to post Share on other sites
Bagman Posted April 19, 2011 Share #148 Posted April 19, 2011 I just noticed the addition to the Forum masthead. I most heartily approve! I still find myself waiting to see Greg's latest posts......Sure do miss reading them. Respectfully, ATTENTION ON DECK! Bagman :salute: Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Hudson Posted April 19, 2011 Share #149 Posted April 19, 2011 I just noticed the addition to the Forum masthead. I most heartily approve! We had suggestions to dedicate the Edged Weapons section in his honor, but I decided the entire forum should be dedicated in his memory. Link to post Share on other sites
