Before I knew it, Greg “Whisper” Farrar had quietly woven himself into my heart. He was so sweet and humble. I constantly pestered him to speak louder so that I could hear him better. But, the Greg we all knew was very resolute. Changing himself was not an option! I finally learned to lean in closer when we conversed. Later, I started calling him “Whisper”. It took nearly two years before he acknowledged the term of endearment the first time. The big smile he gave me that moment was priceless! No other words were spoken. We just laughed. Me, out loud. He, quietly…
To the family of Greg I pray that God gives you strength and peace that surpasses all understanding. Greg was such a pleasure to be around. His soft spoken voice, smile and his ability to make you laugh with that dry humor and sarcasm will be what I miss most about him. It was a pleasure to know him.
My Deepest Condolences to the Family and Friends. Many Blessings to all is My Prayer.
Greg meant so much to me and many others. He was truly great to work with…always willing to do what was necessary to get the job done. He had the best smile and his personality sweet, kind, humble and quiet! I absolutely loved being in his presence…as he whispered jokes and waited for your laughter to follow. Greg was a class act, he was smart and fun…he will be missed!
Was a pleasure to work with Greg while I was employed with TSA. Very kind soft spoken man. He will be missed.
May your soul RIHP, you were a gentle soul that always speak to everyone that you came in contact with. You will be missed, My condolences to your family.
I worked with Greg at the airport. Greg was a very humble and kind man. I can remember him racking up on overtime and being available to pick up shifts for anyone who asked. He was very respectful and was also respected by many here at Hartsfield. My condolences to his family and close friends. May he rest peacefully.
I will miss out talks at work and your kindness that was very much needed. This is unbelievable and will take awhile to set in . Prayers for your family and may you Rest In Peace.
Greg was one of the first TSA Officers the I had the pleasure of meeting almost 16 years ago when I started working for TSA. He has always been a pleasure to work with and will be missed.

My guy… You spoke gentle, but I heard your spirit loud and clear! You were a family oriented guy, with a love for market gains, long runs and laughter. Oh, and the Dekalb Farmer’s Market, lol.

I am sorry to hear that you are gone and you will be missed. May God comfort your love ones.
Greg, I will dearly miss your peaceful and gentle presence. Since you’d gone to baggage, I really appreciated the brief glimpses of you. Seeing you always brought me joy. I’m so grateful to have seen you recently and had a chance to say a brief hello. Knowing now that that was the last time I’d see you, I wish we’d had the opportunity to talk a little. I always enjoyed your sense of humor. I’m honored to have known you.
I can’t believe this, I’m now seeing this and I’m so saddened. Greg was so mannerly and quiet but always spoke to me, very pleasant man.I would always run into him waiting for the shuttle. He was so happy to finally get off the checkpoint and be in baggage lol I would always say “hey Greg you coming back upstairs and he said “hell no”… I laughed with him. I will miss his face and presence. You were family to us Greg! May your soul Rest In Peace!
I can’t believe I’m seeing this I am so saddened by the lose of one of our family members in the agency. I’ve known Greg for 12 years, he was always so quiet , soft spoken, pleasant, funny and always so mannerly. I never seen him ever have a bad day I’m going to miss running into you waiting for the shuttle, I’m going to miss joking with you about coming back to the checkpoint because I know you were so happy being in baggage lol my condolences to your family may your soul Rest In Peace! We loved having you at this agency we love you Greg and will miss you.
To the Farrar family and friends of Greg. I am crushed and he will truly be missed. After 18 years, you are family. Words can never describe the sting of losing such a caring loved one. Please allow the “God of Comfort”, family and friends be a cushion of support for you as we wait to see him again. He’s made great memories, hold onto them. He will call and Greg will answer. – John 5:28; Job 14:15a
Greg,
To hear that you Passed hurt my Heart. We met a Few years back when you came to Baggage. I was asking people who you where when I saw that we had the same RDO’s and we were going to be working together. I very quickly grew Fond of you, even though you were so Quite and reserved. I would say “Hey Greg” genuinely happy to see you and you would say “Hey Jessica”. We would have conversations and you would share with me aspects of your Life, which was an truly an Interesting one. I appreciate getting to know you Greg. We all Will Miss You. May God Rest your Soul and Grace your Family with Peace.
💕
Today I thought of you … I can’t believe that when I come back I won’t see you. I don’t wanna go back … A 10 hr shift will never look the same ! You won’t be there to tell me what time to go back from break. Sleep well…
Great man, Great Friend, Great employee
I will miss you
Greg, you were kind and always smiling. You’ll be truly missed. It was a pleasure knowing and working with you.
Prayers for your family. 🙏
Still shocked and saddened by this news and the great loss of such a kind and funny soul. Greg was a great guy – we only chatted occasionally, but I always loved seeing him. We reconnected in 2011, and I couldn’t beleive it was the same Greg from Briarcliff High School, when Greg, with the long, beautiful hair, was friends with my brother Jeff and I was friends with Debbie. Both of them were such kind, good souls. Knowing Greg these past years was like knowing a quiet kindness that influenced everyone around him. To the entire Farrar family – I am so sorry for your loss. Greg’s presence was a gift. He cared very much for his family, especially his mom. I know you will all miss him very much – so weill we. May his memory be a blessing.
