Dear Deborah, Daniel and Claire,
I have no words to express the loss in my heart for Greg’s passing. He was a great friend and my closet client. I have been reflecting on how many times we just sat and talked about life and shared meaningful stories. I will remember him for the rest of my life and he was one of my favorite humans I have ever met.
To the three most wonderful people that Greg has left behind, I am deeply sorry. Please know that I am here for you all.
Sending love and healing for your loss.
Your friend,
Tom Duke
Deborah , Daniel and Claire
We are so sorry to hear the sad news about Greg. He was, as you once described, a ‘good man’. Indeed, he was that and more. Those of us who were lucky enough to know him will miss him. Thinking of you all during this difficult time. —. Jon and Pam Ansell

Greg was a wonderful Christian and a fine gentlemen. You could never have met a better person, with that great smile and kind words of greetings.
Heaven has gained another angel.
I will miss my hugs every Sunday at church.

I am shocked to here of Greg’s passing. Greg was a great man. I know my Dad is hanging out with him in Heaven. God has them both now in tender care.
My heart and prayers go to all of you. I know this is a difficult time, so take care of each other and yourselves.

I do not know a person at Allianz Worldwide Partners that new Greg and did not love him. He always smiled and asked how we were doing when anyone passed by Greg. He will be very missed. I truly pray God’s comfort for your family for the loss of such a person as Greg Waters.
I don’t know if we could ever express how dearly we loved Greg. What an incredible, loving, faithful man – Heaven is rejoicing! But the heartache left here is monumental. I can’t imagine the pain and grief you all feel, but I am praying God gives you moments of peace in the waves of pain. We love you guys. Always.
I will miss my partner in crime! Deborah, Daniel and Claire my heart aches with yours. Sorry we have lost him on earth. He was an amazing man, and heaven is blessed. Oh how he will be missed! His sense of humor was definitely unique . Love & prayers to all of your family. I share his namesake …brother and sister in Christ forever.
On the night of March 12th I had a dream where I was little again and at the Waters house where our family and many others often went to be well hosted, loved and served by Greg and his family. These gatherings were often and some of the most uplifting times and memories for my family.
How bittersweet it is to find out the next day that your dear friend who made these sweet memories a reality has passed away.
Our lives are so much better because of Greg. We will always celebrate such a wonderful person, and deeply grieve that he’s no longer with us in the flesh.
We love you Waters family, so much.
It is a shock to hear of Greg’s passing. He was a gentle man of such character. How he loved his family. And that voice of his blessed so many. Deborah, please know of my love and prayers.
I don’t have the words to tell you how deep the hurt is to lose Greg. He spent many hours with my family, especially on Sunday afternoons. I gave him many driving lessons also. He had the best parents in the world, and we also spent countless hours with them. Our prayers are with you, Daniel and Deborah as you go through this very difficult time. Greg was the son I never had.
My heart aches for all of you. He was a great man and always strong in his faith and adored you Deborah and was very proud of both you kids. So many wonderful memories Your family is precious and loved by so many. He will be missed deeply.
There are so many wonderful memories we have over the 28 year friendship of Greg and our families. I so enjoyed the times Greg and I had just sitting around and talking. Greg was closer to me than a brother and I will miss him.
We are praying for you Deborah, Claire and Daniel that God will give you peace at this time. When we all get together again in heaven can you imagine the stories Greg will have to share with us and the people he will introduce us to.
We love you.
Sue and Steve
Deborah, Daniel and Claire

Keeping you all in prayer,
Michelle and Chris Staton
Dear Deborah, Daniel, Claire and Hallie,
Words really can’t express our loss of such a dear friend. I have read the messages before mine and have to concur that we agree with all of them. We were fortunate enough to feel like family members. There are just so many memories that we can reflect back on.I can’t remember a time when we were leaving anyplace that we all didn’t hug and say , “ I Love You” , meaning every word. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and we will always be available anytime you need us. We will probably be there even when you are ready to be left alone. We love each of you dearly and know that Greg is in Heaven , meeting everyone he can to be ready when we all join him. I have always told everyone that Greg knows somebody for anything you need and can do anything you need. We are so thankful for so many precious memories.
We Love You,
Mrs. Bev and Mr. Keith

As usual, I am the last person to find anything out. Please except my condolences for your loss. And I agree with you Greg is up there in heaven and he can’t wait for me to get up to sing right beside him! Healways have a great sense of humor, and iwas a wonderful actor and faithful servant. I suspect he and Beverly are laughing out loud at us down here now. If I can do anything to help please let me know J

My heart goes out to your family and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Greg could light up any room the moment he walked in. Truly an amazing soul whom will be deeply missed by the Allianz family. Many prayers for peace & comfort.
Deepest deepest sympathy to the Waters. Greg was an awesome friend. His last conversation with us was a source of strength and encouragement. Greg reminded us of how God sees all and knows all. Greg was a great prayer warrior and mentor. We love him and the entire family. We will join you soon Greg and never be separated again.

I extend my deepest and heartfelt condolences to the family of Greg Waters. I pray these words from that great hymn “Come, Ye Disconsolate” will serve as a comfort to you in your loss: “Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish, Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel; Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish: Earth has no sorrow that heav’n cannot heal” – I invoke God’s blessings upon each of you and pray that you continue to lean on the everlasting arm of our Savior Jesus Christ who can and will heal all sorrows if we will only submit to His will. I salute a life of love to all mankind. Greg was a faithful friend and his legacy will live on through those he helped during his time here on earth.
Love,

Deborah, Daniel, and Claire,
My deepest sympathy to you all. What a great joy Greg brought to so many through his life of ministry.
I loved watching him in GCN and hearing him sing. Heaven had a new angel.
Greg was man that used all the talent that God gave him, he never helped back when he had an opportunity to help and bless someone. I just got back from Brazil on Saturday and was surprised with the sad news of his passing. He will be missed for sure and his legacy will continue to live on and inspire the ones that knew him. My prayers for Gods comfort to the family!

Linda, Lindsay, and I were both surprised and deeply saddened to hear of Greg’s passing. We didn’t know him well, but enough to know what a great soul he was and how deeply loved he was by friends and family. I picked up my German hat today and it reminded me of the Oktoberfest you all joined us for a few years back. He was a very fun loving man as well. May God keep him in his Peace. Bless you all

Dear Deborah (and Daniel and Claire),
My deepest condolences. I will miss his smile greeting me at the door, his compassion, his honesty, his calming presence. I had such joy seeing the two of you sharing a ride, sharing a lunch, just enjoying each other’s company. May you find comfort and solace in the many happy memories and the love of family and friends.
Daniel Roth
I send my love and prayers to the whole family. Greg was a great person and so very talented. I loved working with him in Glorious Christmas Nights.
He was a wonderful Christian man, and I can just hear that powerful voice as he sings praises to our Lord.
He will be missed.
It takes awhile to respond when things happen. He was my rock and friend. Sometimes you can tell when you’re able to sit down with someone and talk about anything that comes to you. Greg was that type of man. I will miss him. Thank you Greg you will be missed.
