By the way, Greg would never pass up a tennis game, even if he had to drive to East Hampton at a moment’s notice, unless he had a family responsibility. Some of Greg’s friends are celebrating his life with the installation of a small plaque and park bench at Brookwood Hall, Irish Lane in East Islip. These were his favorite courts, so now when we play there, we will have a permanent reminder of what he meant to us and to local tennis. In the future, if you find yourself playing at Irish Lane, please rest on Greg’s bench and keep his memory alive. There is no better way to honor Greg than to keep playing and enjoying tennis, so we’ll see you out on the courts.
