Memories
“RIP Brother!! You were a true definition of a friend. I will cherish the time we spent together as teammates, roommates, and more importantly friends. I’m going to miss kicking your ass in cribbage so when we meet again my friend it’s game on. Sending prayers to the entire Zoll family! Love you all!”
““GOOD LOOKIN AS EVER!!”
You were a a true friend always so positive. You embodied wit, wisdom, and fun. You were a true planner of good times from football games, Greenbay tailgate parties, Bar crawls, winery excursions, parties, and vacations. We had so many good times together we were “LIVING THE DREAM!!” I will cherish those memories and our friendship. You will always be in my heart and never forgotten. We will meet again one day so save me some good packer seats and a cold beer love you man!!
My condolences to the Zoll family love to all.”
“ I met Gregg in 1999 at UCI while we were taking certificate courses in construction and facilities management. While our romantic relationship was brief, we ended up with Max! I truly could not have asked for a better partner to co-parent with. Throughout the years Gregg was my rock, the voice of reason and a true unconditional friend. He was the the absolute best dad, coach, mentor and goofball dad to Max. Whenever I felt like something was catastrophic, Gregg would put it into perspective for me. Gregg went to every one of Max’s baseball or basketball games. Max’s senior year, Gregg made the 70 mile one way trip to see Max’s basketball games - twice a week. A paragraph cannot describe how much you mean to us or how heartbroken we are. Rest in Peace my friend. I will continue the “beat downs” on Max on you behalf.”
“Zoll is definitely in a better place. It is tough on those of us that will miss his light and excruciating on the loved ones who will no longer be able to connect with him on this physical plane. The good news is that he left a helluva legacy and we are all better people because of the time that we were gifted to spend in his light. May his laughter, quick wit and depths of quiet intelligence continue to shine on and through us all.”
“To Zoll .... An absolute GOOD Man. We’ll see you on the other side MY friend 🍻”
“What a great loss for this world, his family, and friends. You’re missed Gregg. Let’s hope to see you in the next chapter. ”
“I always appreciated how Gregg treated me when we were younger. Although we didn’t know each other well and didn’t go to high school together, I still remember him seeking me out after a UWP vs. Stout football game to talk shop. He treated me as a friend whenever we’d run into each other. Sticks with me to this day. Sounds corny, but I do think about that from time to time. God bless you and your family. ”
“Gregg was a friend to everyone, a person who could be best friends with your two-year-old as easily as he could host a back yard bbq. We’ll miss your smile and friendship, Gregg. ”
“For three short years I had the privilege of working under Gregg’s leadership. He lead by example and practiced servant leadership which is not often seen in corporate America. He sewed into the FMD department authentically and genuinely. He was certainly respected and practiced an open door policy. He highly encouraged a work life balance and family was always first. He will certainly be missed on many levels. Rest in peace, my friend! My prayers are with the entire Zoll family!

“RIP Gregg. You were the best brother-in-law a guy could have - we didn’t get to spend a lot of time together over the years, but when we did you made it fun and very enjoyable. You definitely got all the humor in the Zoll family brother! You were also a great dad to your kids - one of my favorite memories of you was watching you changing your daughters diaper in Sheboygan 2 years ago. You really weren’t sure which way it went on, but you didn’t give up until you got it right! You will always be missed and never forgotten GZ. Every tequila shot will always be in your memory.”
“Greg has always been pleasant to interact during out times at SHC. He is in a better place now but will be missed by many. Praying for the family.”
“I am forever grateful for you Gregg for the way you held and cherished our Rosie. Such a deep, good soul, such a wonderful husband and father. We will always love and miss you.”
“When Gregg joined Sharp and I first heard “Top ‘o the morning!”, I thought...”Who IS this guy?!?!?!” Well in our respective roles we became closely linked with our day-to-day work, and mostly because of our partnership with the Metro Campus Master Plan. I’m sad that I’ll no longer have Gregg by my side for all the praises and “beat-downs” we’ll experience with the project. But mostly because he won’t be with us to see his vision become a reality. In March 2020 we got to visit the new Stanford Hospital and that was the first and only time I was able to meet Rosie. What an amazing legacy for both Gregg and Rosie. Equally so at Sharp. Gregg has left an indelible mark on the company and everyone he worked with. To say he will be missed doesn’t even begin to describe how we all feel here at Sharp.”
“Zoll was a hell of a friend and a damn good man - I would argue the perfect blend of kindness, warmth, honesty and wit. Such a likable guy. His seemingly effortless ability to live in the present and enjoy every moment was something that always resonated with me. Will miss the laughs, beers and genuine friendship, but I count myself incredibly lucky to have gotten to know the one and only Gregg Zoll.”
“ I’m so very sorry to hear this. I was honored to work with Gregg as we put a bow on some big projects at Sharp Grossmont Hospital. I loved his straightforwardness, humility, and sense of humor. My prayers of comfort and peace for your entire family.”
“Gregg was a client, colleague, and friend that left a legacy of healthcare projects in our communities. Gregg also gave us fond memories that will remain in our hearts. Wishing the Zoll Family comfort and peace.”
“Gregg, I will never forget your leadership, sense of humor, and willingness to help others. I am grateful to have spent five years in the School of Zoll. Under your wing, you showed me that hard work and fun go hand in hand. Long hours at the office was balanced by countless baseball games, football games, roller derby nights, tequila shots, and all-around good times (even that time you ran the table on me in pool). You are loved and missed. Thank you for your mentorship, thank you for your friendship, and thank you for the good times.”
“We had the pleasure of meeting Gregg when he came to New Zealand after being engaged to Rosalie to meet her NZ family. We could see how happy Gregg made her and how Rosalie blossomed and became the mother of Brooklyn and Isabelle. We are sorry Gregg has gone too soon and we hope the loving memories of life together with Rosalie and the girls will continue to give them strength to carry on. Sending love and prayers to all the Zoll Family. Rest in God’s Peace Gregg.”
“Our hearts ache for Rosie, Brigitte, Max, Isabel and Brooke. Gregg was A wonderful gentle, selfless, caring man- dedicated to his family. We knew you for a short time but you made a lasting impression on our hearts.”
“Rest In Peace my friend you will be missed by many. it was an honor being your friend, room mate, team mate and fellow traveler. You left us with so many great memories from our fist college house, college football letter and all those great trips to the top of the world working on our intermediate idiot skiing skills in the mountains.

“Gregg was a gift to Sharp and our community. I will have to start a few meetings with, “Top of the morning to you” to keep Gregg in our hearts and minds. His calm demeanor, upmost integrity, open transparency and focus on making a difference made Gregg an absolute standout as a colleague and friend. He was so special to work with and such a joy to be around. I will miss him more than words can express.”
“Gregg was a strong man, a good man, a man who did things.
I first met Gregg when he and Rosalie came to New Zealand to see me and my wife Jane, soon after they had become engaged in Sydney.
I wish Gregg and I could have spent more time together.
Gregg provided a solid centre about which Rosalie and family could revolve and grow.
I am forever grateful for the way he looked after my daughter.
Jane & I wish we could be there to offer support, but we send much love and kind thoughts from New Zealand.”
“GZ, Rest In Peace my friend, but not sure that will be the case. Look out Lord and the heavenly spirits, the Zoll spirit will surprise and delight. It was a pleasure being your teammate, although on the offensive side. It was always enjoyable to battle, especially you and Mr. Hudson, thanks for the memories. Until we meet again my friend, Best…Rocky #82
Prayers to the entire Zoll family as you celebrate a wonderful human being!”
“Sending prayers of support to the entire Zoll family…I have fond memories of working through various planning and construction issues with Gregg. His leadership and encouragement always challenged our teams to bring our A game as he extolled us to provide ‘world class service’. May you RIP, my friend, you will be greatly missed.”
“I still can’t wrap my head around how such a steady, rock solid person can be gone at such a young age. I shared many adventures with Gregg....The Super Bowl, Rose Bowl, Packer games, Laker games. skiing in Tahoe, playing hoops at Luguna Beach and more. There may have been beverage or two mixed in there as well. For most people, just one of these events would be a memory of a lifetime and I got to share them all with Gregg. RIP my friend and God Bless the entire Zoll family. We lost a good one.”
“Although I knew Gregg for a very brief period and associated friendship with Rosie, there was always so much warmth in her talk and mannerisms. May his soul rest in peace. ”
“Gregg & Rosie wove their way into our lives for six years at Stanford Health Care—Gregg in design & construction and Rosie in planning & activation. They settled in NorCal for the period when Isabelle and Brooklyn were born and became fast friends with others that were starting their young families - Ann Cullen and Ashley Umana. We were disappointed to lose the professional capabilities of Rosie & Gregg when they decided to move to San Diego. But we all understood that Gregg wanted to be closer to Bridgette and Max, he wanted to further develop his career and expand his responsibilities, and both Rosie & Gregg wanted to build a homestead. Sharp Healthcare embraced Gregg and provided him the platform to express his full abilities and he was excited for the future. Rosie found her role at Be Well OC and looks forward to contributing her expertise as a leader in human centered design for much needed mental health services. The Stanford Medicine family extends beyond the reaches of NorCal. Rosie & Gregg have a special bond with Shellee Laubersheimer— a fellow rabid football fan from Stanford Health Care. Remote work has allowed Shellee to be in San Diego for long periods of time in the last 1.5 years. Shellee has been an incredible support for Rosie, Gregg, and the family. And coincidentally Ashley Umana moved from NorCal to Rancho Santa Fe, literally around the block, and has been a significant support to the Zolls. Gregg was authentic to himself and enjoyed his professional life and cherished his family life. We, at Stanford Health Care, will remember Gregg with high regard and we will remain close to Rosie, a much-valued former member of our team. ”
“I’ve had the pleasure of nannying two of Gregg’s beautiful children, Isabelle and Brooklyn, for the past 3 1/2 years. It was a true pleasure of mine to witness the wonderful relationship between Gregg and the girls; their faces would always light up when he came home from work and Izzy would immediately request “daddy beatdowns” on the couch. They laughed until their stomachs ached, so Gregg would sneak them an extra piece of candy to cure it and would try to blame it on me when Rosie came back around the corner!
In the brief moments Gregg and I got to chat over the years, he always showed me so much kindness and generosity, with a touch of humor. In many ways, Gregg was like a father figure to me, too; he offered me advice and a helping hand as I navigated college and the workforce, but also made sure to give me a healthy dose of a hard time for being vegetarian, and made sure to always ask, “so, are you guys married yet??” in regards to my long-term relationship!
The Zoll home surely will not feel the same without Gregg’s warmth and humor. He will be dearly missed indeed, though his spirit and the memories we all made with him will be cherished and will live on forever. Rest In Peace, Gregg.❤️”
“I met Gregg when he started working for Sharp HealthCare. I truly appreciated his willingness to take on any obstacle as a challenge and his drive to be successful. His “top of the mornin” greetings always made me smile. I will miss him. Gone way too soon.”
“Gregg was a stellar human being. Kind, smart, capable and unpretentious. If more people were like Gregg, the world would be a better place. He will live on through all that had the honor of knowing him. I hope he is smiling in heaven, over all of the love being sent his way.”
“To the entire Zoll family, I am truly at a loss for words. I have known Gregg and the entire Zoll family for over 50 years. Gregg was an amazing friend and had a sense of humor that was indescribable ... LOL He will surely be missed. I pray that God comforts each of you. John 14: 1-4”
“Terribly sorry to hear the news. He was a wonderful man. A fair client with complete dedication to our profession. Years of endless meetings and lunches helped me get to know him very well. To Rosie, his children and his parents my deepest condolences. He will be greatly missed.”
““Ten feet tall and bulletproof “. With everything he did I actually believed him. It’s so sad that he wasn’t so he could be with his loving family. He will be fondly remembered and I will always smile when I think about him. Gone way too soon 😢 rest peacefully Gregg. So intelligent. Helped me to understand many things. Wonderful sense of humor always made me laugh. His smile was genuine. My condolences for his family.”
