Condolence: We had the pleasure of meeting Gregg and Micki when our son, Patrick, starting dating their daughter, Kimberly. Patrick and Kimberly got engaged, married, and our lives soon intertwined. Even though we lived 3 1/2 hours apart, we were able to see them at many of Kim's performances and family get-togethers. Our fondest memories are their visits to our summer cottage every year. One unfortunate incident was when Tyler lost his eyeglasses over the side of the pontoon. Those glasses are still somewhere on the bottom of Third Lake! We also have wonderful memories of our meetings in Galena at Happy Joe's with Gregg, Micki and our family.

Gregg would drive back and forth to Chicago and northern Illinois in one day. He attended all of Kim's performances, all showers, and birthday parties. Most people wouldn't dream of doing a total of 7 hours of driving in addition to attend a concert or party all in one day. Not Gregg! He drove back and forth to the Chicago area as if he was driving down the street to a local store.
My most touching memory was when Gregg and Micki did that long commute to attend my mother's wake. I was so surprised to see them, but so happy that they, as always, were there for my family.

Many will remember Gregg as a fine musician, teacher and band director. Many will remember him as a great brother, uncle, and friend. His family will remember him as a dear husband, father and grandfather. Gregg fought courageously to live, not for himself, but for his wife, his children and grandchildren. He was a wonderful man and we will miss him.

Condolence: I extend my heartfelt sympathy to the Marolf family. Mr. Marolf was the band director at Beckman High School in Dyersville when I was in 8th grade. I truly appreciated his passion for music, and am grateful to have learned from him. He taught me that if you believe in yourself, you can accomplish great things. May he now join in the symphony of heaven!

Condolence: I am so sorry to hear of Greg's passing. I worked with him many years ago when he did lessons for students who attended Farley-Bankston Catholic School. He was a very gentle and kind man. He was an excellent band teacher. I always enjoyed chatting with and working with him. Again, my sympathies to Micki and his children. He was a great guy.

Condolence: Micki, I am so sorry to hear about Gregg's passing. I have nothing but fond, fun and happy memories of Gregg. It was an honor to make music with him (and you) in all of the groups we were in together. So many great times. He was always a rock - someone you could always count on. He will definitely be missed by many. Praying for you and your family during this difficult time. God Bless, Gene Bechen
