Hi Beverly and Ruth,
I was thinking of Greg tonight, so decided to Google him. I was so happy to come across his smiling face, from our youth and you guys too. I haven't seen a picture of you guys in all these years. I couldn't remember what you looked like until I saw the pictures, then it all came back to me. We had so much fun back then. I remember you Ruth fixing use icetea (a first for me) and snacks after school. We ran through your sprinkler and played in your wading pool. When it wasn't nice out we played in your playroom. In the summertime we ate your crabapples off your tree. When school was open, we walked down your lane and past your gate nearly everyday. Greg always took care of us, and I thought he was so big and strong. I am sad I didn't get to know him as a man. I wish I could have seen him perform. Nice job you did on the website beverly! I hope you two are healthy and as happy as you can be.
All my love...Diane

I have a CD of broadway tunes and credited as the singer of Close every door is G. Bond. I was wondering if it was Greg singing it.

I am pretty sure it was the same Greg Bond who I saw in a production of Godspell in Hamilton. I got his autograph and always remembered how good he was. Years later, I went to see Cats in Toronto, and saw Greg again. Again he was great and I think the photograph used was the same one from years before. I heard he was going to be in the turing company of Cats, and the I heard of his untimely death. For some reason, I still think about this man that made such an impression on me all those years ago.

What a moving tribute to such a talented person. He achieved so mucn. I'ts good to catch up and fill in gaps in Greg's early years prior to Australia and know more of his achievements afterwards. It's also wonderful and generous that you have set up the testimonial in his name.

I had the pleasure of meeting Greg and Irene in Charlottetown, PEI. I worked with Irene at Design Associates. They were the nicest, most genuine people I had ever met.

Hi Ruth,
I was rereading your Xmas letter, and wanted to check out the web site. Beverly did a beautiful job with it. So nice to see Greg's smiling face: the photos brought back fond memories of him. Will order the cd once I figure out which format is best for me. I so appreciated your beautiful letter. Your positive attitude, humour, and grace during difficult times is inspirational. My warmest thoughts go out to you and your family. Wishing you a healthy, happy 2006.
hugs,
Terri Hawkes

Hi! I'm Greg's sister, and I would like to thank everyone who visits this site and leaves a personal message about Greg. We miss him very much and hearing from his friends helps us to keep his memory alive. We would greatly appreciate it if you would contact anyone you know who was a friend of Greg's, and ask them to visit the site and share their memories of him with us.

Thanks again for visiting!

I was one of Gregs close friends in Aus. I am still close friends with Jeremy Cook and Ian Esplin (Fantasy Workshop) and Annette and Bob Charter who live in the Blue Mountains. I was closely involved with Fantasty Workshop. I go back to Sydney for a couple of months every year and have just returned from staying with Jeremy and his family for a couple of weeks and also catching up with Ian and Annette. I had just moved to Tasmania with a one year old child (liam, who is now 17) when Greg died. It broke my heart and took me years to accept it. I have lots of photos and a tape of Greg's songs from the 80's. I think of him often with great love, affection and joy.
He was and will always be one of my life long friends as are our mutual close friends from that magical time with Greg in Sydney. I would love some news of Irene.
