Captain Manglicmot was my instructor at Castle AFB, California in 1985. He
was a great gentleman, and a terrific pilot. When training was nearing its end
and he felt confident in our abilities, he intentionally walked to the back of the
jet. He knew (and we knew) that if something went wrong, it would not be
possible for him to intervene. It worked. He was a great leader who knew how
to instill knowledge and confidence. I will say an extra prayer tonight for Greg
and his family.
ROGER D. FOLLIS, JUNE 26, 2014

blessed to have been among those friends!

Greg will be sorely missed by all his friends at Grey Matters Brain Tumor
Support Group. Greg always had a smile on his face and willing to support and
help others fighting this terrible disease. We know the Angels will be smiling
as they welcome him into Heaven. Greg's biggest joy in life was his family and
whenever you saw him he boasted with pride and talked about his
grandchildren. Rest in peace buddy, we will miss you. John + Judy Hoffman
