However his condition was not improving and today his family members decided his life support should be terminated . He however gave up the ghost by 4 pm today. "Gregory was only one-and-a-half years at the club, but in that short time his quiet modesty made him an indispensable person. Now we will have to learn to live with the loss." his club said in a statement.

May eternal rest be granted unto him and let perpetual light shine up on him.. Amen
