My sincere condolences to Greg's family. I have been very shocked to hear of Greg's passing. They say that only the good die young; the pages of names in heaven must be getting quite full by now! I am so very sorry for the loss of Greg. Your beautiful family, will be in my thoughts for quite some time. He was a special man, clever, articulate, witty, and we have been very blessed to have had his company, through the media, over the years. R.I.P. Greg. You will not be forgotten, such a kind, witty, generous, fun loving man. Big hugs to your family, may you fly with the angles. Taken way to soon ❤❤

A beautiful man gone way too soon, so sorry we could not reach you in time. I miss your beautiful face on the late news every night.

Greg, Dear family you have a wonderful son brother uncle father and friend I'm so sorry for your sudden loss of Greg, I hope you rest peacefully Greg. You have still left us with a message about mental illness and depression a face we know i hope will lead to your viewers Greg question themselves in times of crisis to ask for help and to keep asking until they receive the care they need. Its no consolation to losing someone, but if he could have helped someone now I'm sure Greg would be all in. Thank you for coming into living rooms kitchens and radios an all-out kiwi bloke.

Greg, a shining light you were, a humble, kind, gentle, intelligent man. I think you were like the big brother, and even if you weren't known, it felt like you were because your presence, your being shone so brightly. Such a sad loss, and my thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends. ♡

Is it normal to think that our journalists and presenters on tv and in the public are immune to pressure, stress and depression ? and the daily grind of life ?

Greg your death has absolutely rocked my world... I cannot even start to express the weight of sorrow that sits in my heart for YOU and your family and what the nation is going through since you have gone.

You were a strong, admired, intelligent, witty, handsome man that will be missed. Very much missed !!!

Such a talented journalist and very funny man. Your voice was instantly recognisable without having to see your face.
Quite often you were the last person to make me laugh in a day - with your quick, witty one liners on the Late News.
RIP Greg; strength and love to your family and wider circle of friends.
