Tags was one of my favorite people I've come across in my lifetime. Tonight I just learned of his passing. We spent numerous lunch sessions talking about everything from sports, finances, friendship, and more. He was one of the most genuine people I've ever met. He had the most thorough playbook I've ever seen. I can't thank him enough for encouraging me to invest in for my future. Tags thank you. You have truly left an impact on my life. And.....woof! Possibly my favorite lunch story of all time. Rest in peace my friend.

Mr.Tag was such an amazing man and he always knew how to brighten a day. He knew if I was having a bad day any day I came to class. He asked me all the time if I was coming to class because I skipped atleast 3 classes a day. He always did what he could to help anybody. He touched many peoples' lives. Rest easy, Mr.Tag. Southern Local and many others will never forget you. ❤ My deepest condolences to the family.

Words are never adequate in moments like these. Greg and I were friends and colleagues at Southern Local and he was a wonderful man. He always had a smile on his face and we spent many wonderful moments together discussing the Steelers, politics, Alex P Keaton on Family Ties, and the love he held for his mother and brothers. Even though he is gone he will never leave those who keep him alive in our hearts and minds. I am a better person for knowing him and I will miss him always and remember him forever. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Tags was an amazing teacher. He could always put a smile on my face. When I felt like giving up he told me not to that I could pass what ever class or what obstacle was holding me back. He once told me that if you set your mind to something you can do it. He will be missed by many but he won't be forgotten. RIP Mr.Tags

I am so sorry to hear about Greg's passing. He was my first student teacher at Edison, we worked hard to get him certified by May that year, so he could sub for me, I had to have knee surgery and knew I left my kids in good hands. And when he came to Edison as a teacher I was so proud of him. He worked hard as a teacher and loved his students but lol he did procrastinate on some of his paper work that was due to the district office at times. He will be greatly missed in the education field. My thoughts, prayers and hugs to his family. RIP Tags

Greg Taglieri was not just a great teacher, bur a great man. Not that long ago I emailed this amazing man for help about my future. I used to be in his class 2 years ago, but I moved to South Carolina. I emailed him because I trusted him. Even though I was not at the school he still helped me once again. We used to joke in class all the time. He helped me so I can go far in life. Not just a great friend to laugh with but a great friend that can help you with anything. He will be dearly missed, but forever in our hearts. Rest easy friend.
