I didn't realize this was a reminder. I saw the post above that his contract had been extended to Labor Day, but I didn't equate that with a notice that he would not perform beyond that date.
Greg has done a great service to the company by remaining in the role of Dad this long, and I know he will be greatly missed. I wish him well with all his future endeavors, especially the opportunity to return to his home in LA and his wife and boys.
I'm sure this goes without saying, but Greg truly appreciates very much all the support from the fans.
Now, with apologies for any nitpicking on my part, but to appease my "OCD" nature, some slight clarifications, as the word "reminder" a few posts back has me a trifle confused. (Sorry if I'm misreading the meaning there.) June 3rd on Greg's web site (and subsequently his/his web site's twitter account) was the first time and place ever that it was announced that September 4th would be his final date with BE....and (ipso facto) this extension past June 26 had been finalized. Prior to the contract terms being actually ironed out over the past few days, this final extension was still in the "talks" stage, and June 26th could have been his final date, had talks gone differently.
Thanks for indulging me in that previous paragraph. It's just how I am. The little things are what drive me nuts, sorry.
Now more back to the subject at hand, as sad as any of us may be that Greg is leaving the show, the upside is indeed that he will be home with his family.
By the way, in case some haven't caught the additional info on the BE schedule page at Greg's web site, we've added his July vacation days, which are July 11 through 19.
