He is as much a hero as the police team that caught the shooter. The saying goes that it takes a strong man to fight and a stronger man to walk away but I think that the strongest men are those that risk everything to fight the evil of the world." We love you Greg. Arrangements by French Mortuary, 10500 Lomas Blvd. NE.
