I'm sad to announce that Greg Wolf, @Wolfman here on the forum, passed away a couple of weeks ago.
Greg and I first met here on the forum back in 2017. He was trying to start up his first product based business, and reached out to me for advice. However, what started out as just an online friendship eventually evolved into a much closer, and more personal friendship when Greg decided to leave the East Coast - and move to Phoenix to be closer to people like me and all the other Fastlaners who live here. He knew no one out here, except me - but would go to some of our local meetups from time to time.
The first time I met Greg in person, I immediately had a strong feeling that this was a man of character. A good soul, and someone I felt I could bond with. So over time, we started hanging out more and more. We both had stories and life experiences to share with one another. And our talks would go deep. With time we gained each other's trust - and we would open up more and more to each other. Things that may have been not so easy to talk about with other people in our closest circles. He was one of those people who genuinely cared about others.
For the past several years - Greg and I would get together every 2 to 3 weeks. We would talk for hours about business, dating, politics, religion, and philosophical "meaning of life" type topics. It was our soul food. Enjoyed fresh while we sipped our drinks and puffed on some new cigars. But no matter the topic - it was always sprinkled in with humor and laughter. Greg's laughter was contagious. I can still hear it as I type this.
I'm sure some of you locals remember him. I know he looked up to you @AllenCrawley , and would often ask about you. He also got to meet @BaraQueenbee @Kung Fu Steve @BizyDad and several others at one of our Scottsdale meetups.
Our very last conversion will always stick with me. We were sitting on some rocks, right in the middle of Oak Creek in Sedona - talking about our parents, life, and death. And I said to him that day - "we all need to make the most out of every day. You could go tomorrow, I could go tomorrow, and we never know when will be the last time we see someone".
Little did I know that would be my last conversation with him - and ironically the last time I would see him. He passed away a few days after that picture in the creek was taken.
So I say to all of you now, reading this - we really do need to make the most out of every day. Life is simply too short to slave away at a 9-5 job. Enjoy life because that is what the purpose of it is. Tell your best friend you love them. Tell your family you love them.
