How do you begin an entry to express the sadness you feel for a good friend that just passed? I guess I'll skip the sadness and get to the good stuff, like the awesomeness that was Greg Poma. By the way, I know it has been a few months, but I just found out today ( Read more... )

How did he die? I think I briefly met the guy...

You probably did meet him at some point. It appears he died from an enlarged heart. He was enjoying a quiet evening with his wife, and all of a sudden he stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest. So sad, and he was so young. :(

Thanks, and thanks for reading about him :)

I want to thank you for the kindness of your heart. It brings so much comfort to know that Greg will be remembered by those who's lived he touched. Greg was an exceptional person, he was from the moment we knew he was on his way. Greg was a funny, endearing, loving and kind man. We will always rejoice in our memories, and now we have one of yours to cherish. Greg (my nephew) will always be my shining star.

Hi there, thanks for leaving a note. You and your family must be going through a difficult time, but know Greg was loved by many. :) I've been abroad for almost two years now so it's been a while since I've seen Greg, but he was always great about keeping in touch online. Greg seemed serious about joining me for the Antarctica Marathon, so when I finally make it down there maybe I can run in memory of him. If you give me your email address, I will keep you in the loop!
