Greg, you are one of a kind, will never be replaced! Thanks for your friendship and advice over the years.

The McCarthy family was so excited when Joy met Greg. He immediately became part of our family and we will miss him so much, at family get togethers, holidays and McCarthy family summer vacations. Joining a large crazy family like the McCarthy’s is not an easy task, but Greg fit right in and we all came to love him. Seeing him make Joy so happy and helping to be a part of the kids lives is something we will always be so grateful for. Losing someone so special is not an easy thing and we will miss him terribly, especially that beaming smile.
Our condolences go out to Joy and the kids, his children, and siblings as well as his extended family. Love, The McCarthy’s

Condolences to the family and May you RIP 🙏

Greg you were a great man and Trooper. We had some fun and serious adventures as “youngsters” at Prince Frederick Barrack Prayers

Your dad really was a ‘mentor to many and a friend to all…’ So sorry for your loss.

Greg came into my life in 1989 through the State Police. His personality and friendly manner caused us to develop a friendship that lasted and grew deeper over the years to where, like many probably did, I considered him my best friend. His smile, love of his daughters, devotion to Joy and his job were all at a level not experienced by many. Greg had a tenacious investigative ability that made him stand out as an excellent investigator. In fact over my tenure he would be considered by me to the one of the best I had seen. He was a friend that I could bare my soul to and know the advise I would get would be delivered with love but yet at times be blunt and forthright. We traversed many heinous crimes, complicated intensive investigations as well as family joys and tragedies. I could sleep at night knowing that if I really needed someone to be there for me Greg would offer to get in his truck and drive to Tennessee. I will close in saying Greg was a great father, good friend to all and the best brother one could expect to have in this world even though we were not actually related. I know you will be one of the people looking down on me from above telling me Greg style if I make a bad decision. I will always miss your smile, the not so gentle way you would motivate me at time but most of all I will miss having a friend I consider my brother at my side.

To Gerg’s family and sister Vicky: all our Sympathy’s and prayers go out to you. Greg will be sadly missed by all he touched.
Uncle Joe Grata.

Sending my sincere Condolences to Greg’s two daughters and the Cameron Family, also His friend Joy which I got to talk to and gave a hug at Giant when she shopped on Tuesday.

Southern Maryland has lost a gentlemen and one of the finest police officers that Southern Maryland has had! He will be missed by many!
Condolences with Thoughts and Prayers for the Family and Friends🙏💙

Greg and I were classmates and friends at the MSP Academy 87th class. His happy go lucky attitude helped when the going got rough in the Academy, as anyone who went there could confirm. Though we worked in different parts of the state, we would occasionally run into each other at in-service or some other assignment and it would be just like old times. We have lost quite a few Troopers from our class but this is one I wasn’t expecting. I am deeply saddened by his passing, my sincere condolences to his family.

I have known Greg for over 30 years. He was always a good person to all and will be remembered for that. 💙🙏🏻

Greg and I were classmates, 87th class, with the Maryland State Police. Greg aways had a smile and was easy going. After graduation our paths didn’t cross. I am saddened to lose someone so soon. Rest in Peace my friend and blessings to his family.

I had the pleasure to work with Greg for nearly 40 years. I don’t recall him ever really slowing down at any time for anything. As a Trooper, all he ever wanted to do was to catch the bad guys – and he was extremely good at it. Greg enjoyed being a Trooper and then a Deputy almost as much as he enjoyed life itself. He had the uncanny ability to perform at 100% whether he was working, hunting, fishing, playing softball, hanging with his friends/family or being a father. He enjoyed life and made sure those near him did the same. Last month, I had an impromptu meeting with “Cameron”. Greg took the time to talk to me and my wife for about 15 minutes. It was a great talk. Little did I know that this would be our last conversation. Greg’s unexpected passing has left a void that simply cannot be filled. Greg knew everybody and the vast majority loved and respected him. I keep thinking about Cortney, Taylor and Joy. I am sure that family and friends will help them find the strength to navigate through their heartbreaking loss.

Sending prayers to Greg’s family. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of such an amazing man, Trooper, father and friend. RIP brother. You will be remembered for your kindness, calmness and professionalism.

My condolences to Greg’s family. I played alot of Softball with and against Greg, when he was with the MSP team. I was a Sgt. with the Montgomery County PD. Greg was truly one of the nicest guys i had met. R.I.P

Condolences to the family. Greg and I were in the MSP academy together. He was always a gentleman and was blessed with intelligence. Godspeed brother!

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Greg was a great friend and I enjoyed working with him. I will miss him greatly. Heaven gained an amazing angel!

Godspeed my old friend and former colleague.

I will never forget working with Greg and the many laughs we shared. Greg was a good friend. Until we meet again my friend….

Greg would do anything you needed at any time. He was ALWAYS talking about his girls and we spent many a day talking about hunting and fishing. He knew this job better then anyone!!! Rest in peace Greg!

Uncle Greg was a huge inspirational figure in my life. When I think back to my childhood, I find so many vivid memories of him and I together. At and early age he taught me about the game of football, how to read a fishing stream and how to gut my first trout. He always made an effort to be a meaningful presence in my life and was there for me at nearly every major milestone throughout my youth.
I am honored to say that my Uncle Greg helped shape me into the man that I am today. His positive energy, sense of humor and laugher will forever be etched into my heart and soul. And although our loss feels like a hole that can never be filled I find comfort in knowing that he’s somewhere blissful now, some place warm and green by a shady tree hollering “fish on!” and surrounded with love.

Greg was my supervisor for many years in the Criminal Intelligence Division. His passion for catching the bad guys and conducting investigations into organized crime was second to none. He was not one that I ever featured meeting such an untimely death and I am still in a state of shock. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends and fellow colleagues.

RIP my friend. I will always fondly remember our early OCPD days and our strong Western Pennsylvania ties. Your friendship left a lasting impression and I will miss you immensly.
