Greg Reid has Passed Away
 
I received a message this weekend from Greg's wife, Anna, that he has lost his long battle with cancer. She wanted me to share this with all of his PY buddies. We lost another good one. RIP Greg!

Definitely was a GREAT ONE to our Pontiac family. RIP Condolences to his family.

"Bill"!

That sucks. Good man. Will be missed by the PY family.

I was just thinking of him the other day and going to reach out to him. I regret that I didn't. RIP Greg. Your contributions here were always appreciated.

Very sad news. RIP.

Verdoro 68 09-23-2024 11:49 AM

Very sad news. He’ll certainly be missed around here. My condolences to his family.

Sirrotica 09-23-2024 12:04 PM

My prayers go out to the survivors.

Even though I only knew him from this site, I'll miss his postings. We all have the Pontiac thing in common, and I'm glad I crossed paths with him.

You'll be missed Greg.

4dblnkldude 09-23-2024 12:58 PM

My condolences...

Greg was an outstanding individual. Hoping his family finds peace and comfort to get through this time in their lives.

OG68 09-23-2024 01:00 PM

The news took my breath away.

Rest in Peace Greg and my condolences to your family.

Sad news. My sympathies.

400 4spd. 09-23-2024 01:11 PM

I have been fearing this for the past week. I sent him a text last Thursday that he didn't answer. The last I talked to him was about a month ago. He was in what I consider remarkable spirits, considering the difficulties he was having. I don't know what else to say now.

tempest1964 09-23-2024 01:22 PM

Rest in peace and prayers for your family...

bluejudge 09-23-2024 01:26 PM

Sorry to hear. Condolences out to his family and friends. He had a lot of posts on this site…

67drake 09-23-2024 01:29 PM

I talked to Greg on another forum too ( I can’t remember now what it would have been?) , but always felt a comrade with him since, even though I never met him personally.
RIP Greg. See you when I get there.

se428bandit 09-23-2024 01:59 PM

I really hate to hear this news. I use to meet up with him at local car shows. He never let on how bad his cancer was. He was one of nicest guys you’ll ever meet.RIP Greg.

mgarblik 09-23-2024 02:37 PM

Sad to hear this news. We never met in person but all the quality posts he put in the forum will be missed. Condolences to his family and many friends.

sdbob 09-23-2024 02:40 PM

So sorry. Rest in Peace. Thoughts and prayers for his family. I was just talking to a priest at St Vincent Archabbey. He lost his 29 year old sister on her 29 th birthday. He said imagine the creator creating all of us and liking what he has made, he wants the best back with him. Helps me.

MarkS57 09-23-2024 02:49 PM

Very sad, :( RIP Greg :)

I really hate cancer. :mad:

Shiny 09-23-2024 02:57 PM

This is a loss for me.

I never met Greg, nor interacted beyond the forum, but he had a positive influence on me for many years. His posts, answers, and project examples were motivational and never negative. We had a lot in common and I loved looking at his car and work that he did.

Sad to hear the news, hope his friends and family know he was valued by complete strangers.

Will be sad to stumble across his posts but will also remind me his positive influence lives beyond him.

"Will be sad to stumble across his posts but will also remind me his positive influence lives beyond him." well said Shiny


I also have never met Greg in person, but he always provided good honest advice from his experiences.

I remember he was an inspiration to me on my project when he was welding those patch panels into his 68 GTO.

my deepest condolences to his family

77 TRASHCAN 09-23-2024 03:20 PM

Praying for strength and comfort for all that knew him!!!

I was looking forward to him getting his 66 GTO on the road...

soupman 09-23-2024 03:45 PM

So sorry to hear this. Greg was a stand up guy. I meet Greg about 15 years ago, I bought an admiralty blue 74 Firebird from him. I drove from New York to Georgia and pick it up. From him. We talked for a bit, just a great guy! RIP Greg.

johnta1 09-23-2024 03:54 PM

Sorry to hear this, RIP Greg.

I have known him for years. He was a good guy!

Shiny 09-23-2024 04:13 PM

Just one example of the guidance from Greg that got me through a project with confidence.

What a loss. I'm really sad after revisiting this one...

I never met Greg in person (I don't think), but we exchanged emails or PMs back when he had a 1974 Trans Am. He was a great guy, will be missed.

unruhjonny 09-23-2024 04:43 PM

This is very sad to read.

My heart goes out to Greg's friends and family.

I remember the 'Greg needs us' thread, and him chiming in...

His presence will be missed.

RIP Greg. The Pontiac world is a lot smaller today with his loss. My sincerest condolences to his family

ta6point6 09-23-2024 05:25 PM

I did not know the guy but seemed to have a real positive outlook on life even after being diagnosed with cancer. RIP

Greg sent me this picture of his 68 GTO after he put the tag on the front.
He had bought the tag from me.

He will be missed.

Bills Auto Works 09-23-2024 05:40 PM

This is terrible news!

We had been praying for Greg for quite a while in his battle against this terrible disease. Greg was a customer of mine & a great guy I enjoyed spending a bit of time with in person as well as on the forum. Truly sad day for the Pontiac family.

God Bless
Bill

Greg Reid acquitted himself as a humble person that most of us didn't know personally, only through his comments here. I have great respect for him and will miss his presence here. I ask God to bless him and his grieving family,

Same here. He has 16,177 total post on this forum. Greg was a great contributor. His post always seemed spot on, no matter the subject. I was actually honored when he would " like " a comment made by me. Much respect.
