I learned this week of the untimely passing of a dear friend, Greg Wentzel. Greg was instrumental in helping us build the Grand Junction St. Baldrick’s head shaving event. He welcomed me many times to the Ron & Greg morning drive time radio show on K-Star to promote our fundraiser. He emcee’ed the event several times plus stepped up to shave his head, raising $$ for the cause himself. He was instrumental in helping our community raise more than $400,000 for childhood cancer research! Rest easy, good friend!
