I knew Greg Moore
in 7th and 8th grade at Staley, and
hung out with him on Garden Street
with Tom Tagliaferri and Wesley
Richardson. Greg was a friendly guy,
and had an unmistakable "machine
gun" laugh. I didn’t know him well,
but it still hurts to know he’s
passed.
In one sense, we
are the sum of all the people in our
lives. It feels like I just lost a
little piece of myself.
Oh my
I can't believe this. I grew up with
his family. Our mothers were best
friends. So many of our classmates
gone so soon. This is so sad. -

Gregory, you made me split
a gut with your impression of Wesley
Richardson's dad back in 1965 in Mr.
Spelicy's homeroom. Wish we had
reconnected throughout the years. - Dennis
Parrish
Greg was part of my
neighborhood "gang" before he
changed his name from Greg
Manley to Greg Moore. He and
Wesley Richardson were always
hanging out with those of us on
Roosevelt Ave/Garden Street.
Gone too soon. - Joe Mercurio
Greg was in
Mr Bielec's 11th grade home room with me.
We ended up in the same dorm at
MVCC, and went to pro-wrestling at the
Utica War Memorial. It cost $2 which
was cheaper than the movies. Sure,
it was staged but you could boo and swear
and throw empty beer cups. Jenny was
15 cents a cup. - Steve Miroy
