    Sherman and I used to go to elementary school with Greg. It is with deep regret to find out about your loss.

  82. I am sorry to Greg’s family for your loss. I have happy memories of road hockey games on King Street many years ago. I saw or spoke to Bones only once in the last 30 thirty years and that was at Ricky “Hibbit” Malone’s funeral. Greg gave the finest, most eloquent, and unscripted eulogy I have ever heard. Peace be with Greg & his family.

  87. Devin and Nick,

    I only had the privilege of knowing your family over the past 8 – 10 years but I’ve probably heard more stories that you can imagine from Scott. He loved and respected your father and whenever we went to an “event” such as washer toss, one of the first things Scott would say is “I hope Bones is there”! If we were at the camp and he disappeared, I knew Bones was across the road. I will miss seeing him on his scooter in unexpected places…. he didn’t let anything stop him and he will be greatly missed.

  90. Nick and Devin, we are so sorry to hear about your dad. We shared a lot of great times over the years. He will be greatly missed.

  91. We are so sadden to hear about your dad. Bones was a wonderful man and he will certainly be missed by all.

  92. So sorry for your loss our thoughts and, prayers are with you RIP Bones !! we got to know Bones when we played darts
