From the transcript
Greg has gained over 20 years experience flying helicopters and over 10,000 hours in command time. A very competent and experienced pilot, but without the big ego and selfish attitude that some suffer from in this industry. It was just a pleasure to have a person like Greg in the industry and as a friend. I received a call from a mutual friend some 10+ days ago. There has been an accident and Greg has not survived.
