Your condolences are very much appreciated.
Greg's death in 2014 came as a huge shock to us all. I haven't felt able to comment about it on the forum until now.
Perry Kitchen's full obituary - including more about Greg's life at CH - is here:

And I wrote the following for our family Christmas newsletter in 2014. I hope it's OK to share it with you all:
Paul remembers Greg...
In September 2014, my brother Greg died unexpectedly from Legionnaires' Disease. He was just 61.
Greg meant the world to me. He lifted my heart whenever I saw him. I felt it many, many times in my life, particularly so at my wedding to Delia last year, when he was one of our witnesses and gave a splendid reading.
Larger than life, he was like a meteor, full of energy as he blazed across the sky. His presence touched everyone he met, and he brought great joy and happiness to those he knew. A very funny guy, his wry quips were legendary. He also cared passionately about people, always going the extra mile to help those in need. It was a rare quality that I much admired.
My dad said to me on many occasions, "They broke the mould with your brother." Too right.
Greg was an exceptional man. The most brilliant of brothers, he was a great friend and a broad shoulder to lean on, a dedicated husband to Eiddwen and a tremendous dad to Liv.
A gifted journalist and an outstanding broadcaster, my brother was one in a million, a true eccentric we will never, ever forget.
A great light has gone out in my life, in my family’s lives and for all his friends around the world.
Rest in peace Greg. Love you always.
