Our thoughts are with Liz and the entire family. We are both saddened and shocked by his sudden passing. Greg was a great Rotarian and friend. We shared a love for the YMCA Youth Assembly where Greg was afforded its highest honor as Youth Governor. Godspeed good friend!

I was heartbroken to hear about Greg's passing. He was a fraternity brother of mine in college, and I always thought a lot of him - even more so after college, as we corresponded often on social media. I'm sorry I couldn't attend his services, but want his family to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Greg had a great heart and soul. I will miss him.

I am so sorry to hear of Greg's passing. He was so young, and leaves a young family behind. He lived a great but short life, and he will be missed in the legal community and among his friends and family. I did not know him well, but knew of him by his excellent reputation. His family will be in my prayers. Losing someone like him reminds us of our own mortality and the need to make every day count. Best wishes, William Todd

I am so sorry to hear this. Greg was a friend and also a trusted colleague to whom I would often turn to for advice in my workers' compensation practice. He was a true leader and someone who always led from the front in his roles with the State Bar of Georgia, the Alcovy Circuit, his local church, and his community.. The impact he has had on my life and practice, as well as that of my colleagues in the workers' compensation community, is immeasurable and simply cannot be replaced.

Greg was a good friend and advocate of the Newton County Library during my tenure. Covington will surely miss you. My condolences to your wonderful wife and two little ones. To your mother Ann and father Walter -- my thoughts are also with you.

Like many of Greg’s classmates from law school, I am shocked and saddened by his sudden passing. Greg was such a wonderful man, and he brought friendship and humor with him wherever he went. It is been such a pleasure to watch him develop into an incredible husband and father over the last many years, and it is because he was so impactful That he will be so seriously missed. Prayers for all of us whose lives Greg touched and who will miss him, and most especially for his wife and children, whom he so obviously adored

To the Pope family, I am truly very sorry to hear of Greg's passing. He was a true Claimant's Lawyer in every respect and consummate professional. He was the kind of lawyer any of us would want to strive to be. I could always count on Greg for solid advice on a complex workers comp issue and he was a subject matter expert on anything Maloney and Ogletree related. To Liz, Ashley and Will, no words can truly express the sorrow felt for your loss. Please take solace in knowing Greg's impact on so many people will endure, he was a leader in the good fight and his absence will be missed.
