Greg was my first SAR instructor. I have many fond memories of him & I owe his passion to SAR as the vehicle in which I became active as well. May God Bless you Greg!
The tracker world has truly lost a man who was leader and visionary. I extend my most sincere condolences to the Fuller family. Greg will be missed.
While we have not talked much in recent years, I counted him as friend. I will miss him as I know the SAR world of Virginia will as well. May your Spirit be free my friend.
Greg was my instructor when I took the CERT class a few years ago. We became friends and I truly will miss Greg. Go high on that mountain your work here is done. Peace be with you my friend.
Oh, Connie… I am so sad for your loss of this wonderful man in your life. Please know how much he loved you and his passions in life. Your devotion to him was unsurpassed. Hugs to you and your family.

I regret our friendship did not continue thru the years but I do hope and pray that the friendship may continue in another time and place.Its good to know of his accomplishments. Connie I do hope and pray for you and yours I am sorry for your loss.
