I saw the malicous acts of greed and selfishness you again couldn't even begin to fathom. she was in it for the money only knew him for not near the amount of time as the sons. I offer my condolences to his sons everyday when I see them they are the ones who lost someone not just money.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>also you need more research cause before any of this went to court she could of walked away with 3-4 mill and half of the the houses and cars but she switched her mind and decided she all of a sudden she didn't want him declared dead when she found out she could get a whole lot more by dragging this out. you know greg and his sons bought a house together to fix up and sell so he could help his sons make money and since it is still in greg's name nancy is trying to claim it as hers screwing the sons out of the last 2 years of hard work they personally put into it. its things like this that make me call her greedy. things like this you don't know of. things like this that makes the friends of the family feel this way about her. if you need more examples I got you just let me know. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>chrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18889742.post-1153341854542549432006-07-19T16:44:00.000-04:002006-07-19T16:44:00.000-04:00Now remind me of how she is greedy?

A widow hires a lawyer because his relatives want to have her husband declared dead before the marriage hits 5 years knowing full well that if she doesn't defend herself she stands to lose 3.75 million dollars that is left to her in her will.<BR/><BR/>And you claim to be a friend of the stepsons and you call HER greedy? What was she supposed to do? Sit back and not defend herself. Hmmm.. you guys are hitting this blog and any other that write about this issue with these nasty vicious cheap shots on her character, while she mourns the tragic death of her husband. <BR/><BR/>And all she did was try to defend herself.

There is no such thing as closure when you lose a parent...Once the finances are addressed... its just one less thing to deal with.. but there is no "closure"! I've spoken to older people whose parents died 50 years ago and there isn't "closure".<BR/><BR/>And when there is a substantial amount of money involved, it is understandable that a lot of people would question the "intent".Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023116533247424228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18889742.post-1153328162082028222006-07-19T12:56:00.000-04:002006-07-19T12:56:00.000-04:00Nate said...In reality when I wrote the column, th...Nate said...<BR/>In reality when I wrote the column, the intent was to point out that the family members had filed the suit and it was not to only single out the sons. <BR/><BR/><BR/>YOU NOMINATED THEM AS JERKS OF THE WEEK HOW IS THAT NOT SINGLE OUT THE SONS?

The big shots in Piscataway claim they thought the Halpers would sell the farm to developers so they took it away from them. Now was their intent to really preserve it as Open Space?... Or is that land going to be a nice little strip mall and/or condo complex once a developer comes along and offers the town a huge sum of money. That "intent" is questionable.<BR/><BR/>As for the "intent" of this family, again I dont know them and you do, so obviously you have insight that I dont have. But... based on that one Star Ledger article, winning the suit would shift 2.375 million from the widow to the family.. with the family already getting an additional 5 million. Anyone reading that article would question if the "intent" was for closure or for financial gain.Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023116533247424228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18889742.post-1153323882647336892006-07-19T11:44:00.000-04:002006-07-19T11:44:00.000-04:00yeessssiiiiiir matt tell your mom again i said tha...yeessssiiiiiir matt tell your mom again i said thanks for letting us straighten the story out and yeah i meant that jab straight at you homie im prepping for the call @ 5:00 on sunday like whatsup man im leaving jerz.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>no nasty comments for the widow fine but i mean how bout atleast an apology for naming these 2 innocent kids JERKS OF THE WEEK , see you could of just reported on this but you took direct shots at these kids like they were in the wrong, their dad is dead and you nominate them as JERKS OF THE WEEK how nice and considerate of you, hey if your dad was out on a boat in the middle of a hurricane and they found his boat cap-sized later with sharks everywhere wouldnt you be convinced your dad is dead, thats the type of thing the 9/11 law was made for, just cause it wasnt a terriost attack doesnt mean that he is alive, 250 miles out in the ocean in the middle of a hurricane you got about the same chance of survivng as the people in those towers ( and i lost a cousin in the towers im am by no means trivializing the towers ) but someone could of walked out the buildings right before the the planes hit and then decided to take advantage of it and claim to be dead as well, so you saying they were trying to use a loophole is ridiculous when all they are really trying to do is bring closure to their dad's death <BR/><BR/><BR/>peaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18889742.post-1153321540566785302006-07-19T11:05:00.000-04:002006-07-19T11:05:00.000-04:00I sure dont mind people calling me ignorant.. espe...I sure dont mind people calling me ignorant.. especially about this case which when the column was written consisted of my reading one newspaper article. <BR/><BR/>I dug up that aforementioned article y'day (thanks to my not taking the old newspapers to recycling!) As for the "split"... the article says the will gives the wife 1/3rd of 7.5 million... 2.5M according to the will. But by declaring him dead before the five years, the family lawyer argued that she should get 125,000 and the rest of the family get 7.375M. She also gets the house which is the state law in NJ.<BR/><BR/>Here are the ground rules for today for anyone who wants to post comments.

She is number 3. I know this because I am wife number 2 and she was our bank teller. Gregg left alot of emotionally battered lives and so the friends who post on your site are sensitive to protecting their own and need to place blame. It is done out of loyalty to kids who have had to bear their personal pain splashed on the newspapers. Including personal details about their fathers life that would they would have prefered to remain private. I played my own role in their pain when I married their father and if in some way I could erase that I would. Instead I will gently explain that all that is written here is out of their friends love of them. As far as wife number 3.

Chris PERSONALLY KNOWS these kids, and he is saying that the wife is only after the money. i trust Chris's word, because he knows what the kids go thru, and if they are sitting in court watching their step-mom try to take all of their father's money, and then tell Chris about what the've seen in the court, i think Chris has a better understanding of the whole thing. you are basing your points off of 3rd-party sources that may or may not convey the full spectrum of this case.
