I was saddened to hear about Greg’s passing, and still can’t quite believe the news. He was a trusted and knowledgable colleague, who was always willing to listen and take a fair and balanced approach. I found him to have a good sense of humour which always helped when dealing with challenging issues. My thoughts are with his friends and family at this time. He will be missed.    …

Was a pleasure debating Primary care issues  in the WF LMC with Greg. Will miss Greg’s input and humour. RIP Greg. …

May Greg Rest in Peace …

Firstly my thoughts and love are with Greg’s family. I am so sorry for your loss. Greg was someone I absolutely admired and loved working with. He was for me everything that is good about the LMC. Wise, passionate and such a strong advocate for the NHS. If there was a question that needing answering, he knew the answer. He was always measured, fair and was never frightened to challenge when things needed challenging. I feel so priviledged to have worked with him and so sad that I’ll not be working with him again. My love goes to his family friends and colleagues at this difficult time.   …

Waltham Forest Federation Team and I were shocked and immensely saddened to hear of the loss of Greg.  As a partner organisation alongside the LMC, he was knowledgeable, measured, pragmatic and completely understood what is needed to for grass root colleagues and teams to get the most for patients.  As a dear colleague, he was jovial, light hearted yet led and advised with purpose. We hope he rests in peace and his family finds strength and patience through this time. …
