From the entire Valen clan we would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the Lee family for the passing of Uncle Greg.
I have very fond memories of him when you all would visit us in Teulon. He was one of our parents' dearest friends. A few years ago Uncle Greg was at the Sunvalley Restaurant with me and my dad. He turned to me and said he owed me an apology. I asked why...looking at him very confused. Greg explained that he had been upset with me ever since I was a little girl. He went on to explain he had a prized bald eagle statue that his kids knew never to bother. Greg told me after one of the times I came to visit and left that he found his statue broken. When he asked the kids who broke it, I was identified as the culprit. It wasn't until many years later the culprit confessed they had broken it. Greg said he didn't want to tell my parents because he knew my mom and dad would punish me...I was framed! But we had a good laugh about it anyhow. :) He will be sorely missed.
