The Requiem Mass for Greg, in the Duntroon Chapel, was a moving and sad event, but also uplifting in giving thanks for his contribution to so many – indicated by pretty much a full house. His four children – Melissa, Ainslie, Simon and James – all spoke of different aspects of their dad. There was no doubt that he was an influential and formative influence on their lives.

The Class of 1972 was well represented, along with members of RMC classes below and above us. There were also members of his courses at RMCS and ACDSS. A wake in the RMC Golf Club afterwards provided an opportunity to catch up on friends and colleagues, in many cases after a gap of quite a few years, as well as Greg’s father and siblings.
