The Loss of a Dear Friend – Greg Despinakis
We are saddened by the loss of one of our own, Greg Despinakis. Greg passed away peacefully on Wednesday December 6th and was laid to rest today Monday December 11th. Greg worked as a broker at Southpace for over 25 years and was an astute colleague, friend, and mentor.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his daughters Stephanie, Harriet, and Pamela, his beloved Babs, and the rest of his family.
