Therefore, the family wants to give everyone the opportunity to say goodbye to Greg.
This can be done coming Sunday, November 27, from 2 to 4 PM at the Indoor Sports Facility of his former club Kinheim near the Pim Mulier Baseball Stadium in Haarlem.
Greg will be buried on Tuesday, November 29 at Westerveld Cemetary at Driehuis.

The cemetary is located at Duin en Kruidbergerweg 2-6 at Driehuis.
The family request that people from the baseballworld will wear a baseball cap, preferably a red one.
