Today we declare it unofficial Greg Page Wiggle Tribute Day here at Play Library. We’ll be sharing people’s thoughts about Greg’s departure from The Wiggles. Join in the comments or send us a link to your blog post.
From Mauzy’s Musings:
Thank you Greg Wiggle…. for helping our kids jump, form words, and have fun.
From mom on a wire:
I think that maybe I am way too attached to these people. When I heard about the death of The Crocodile Hunter, it deflated me. I loved him. And I was really sad when Blue’s Clues Steve went away to “college”. The Wiggles have been part of the soundtrack of my kids’ childhoods, and for Greg to have to retire under these circumstances breaks my heart a little bit. Is it normal to care so much about people I’ve never met?
From Maria’s Space (with some lovely picture of her children playing with Wiggles toys):
The Wiggles are a HUMUNGO part of our household and I can’t imagine watching a Wiggle show without him.

Greg and the Wiggles filled our house with music and dancing and lots of laughter. Greg will be missed dearly as he as been such a big part of our childrens lives.
Rachel: Thank you for the lovely comment. I hope Greg can feel all our love and good wishes.
Hopefully he will be able to return.
it is so sad to see anthony talk about greg’s departure. you can tell ti breaks his heart. i am aching for greg, no only from a fan’s standpoint as someone who loves his voice but i cna’t get out of my ehad what he must be going through. to build something uop and then have to walk away from it, for the rest of the guys, to watch your best friend suffer to leave him behind when you’re touring the world and you know he would do anything to be there while a guy half his age is singing his songs…don’t get me wrong.iisam moran is growing onme faster than i thought, but i can’t stop thinking about how hard it must be for the the other three. i keep thinking, what if that was my best friend. i would be so down.
Mindle: Sorry for the late reply. Doesn’t sound like Greg will be able to return anytime soon.
eva: I agree. When I heard the news, I felt so sad which is why we decided to do a tribute day for Greg.
Me and My kids are very sad. We went to two concerts this year. In July or August I don’t remember which month and was wonderful get to see Greg, I was dancing with my kids and singing. Then I get to the second in October and it wasn’t the same, we felt Greg absence, you could feel in the air the sadness of not having him there. The kids were sitting down all the time of course their favorite wiggle wasn’t there. We wish him the best and we always pray for his recovery and let him know that if he decide to do something else we will be supporting him a 100%. With a lot of love. Merry Christmas to you greg and everybody else. Ely, Gabriel and Michael
Very sad indeed not to have Greg with The Wiggles. Can’t even describe the joy he and The Wiggles have brought not only to our son but to our whole family and friends. But Greg’s wonderful smile and voice have been such a wonderful thing. He’s in our prayers for finding the best way toward managing his condition and having peace and good health!
The Wiggles were a big part of my sons life. Seth went to their concert, and honestly it was a great experience, it will be sad to see him leave. To not hear him sing those songs anymore. And JEff, the baby, is just getting into the wiggles, honestly, its sad. Greg was a great guy, with a heart of gold, doing this for the kids. And i know it will be tough to watch the wiggles now with my sons. My son had tears in his eyes, when we had watched a tribute to Greg. Well anyways, i would like to thank Greg for all the work he had done. From a mother, THANKS.
WE MISS YOU GREG!!!
While at the same time encouraging them to eat fruit salad! Bonus!!!
You got kids to defy obesity one wiggle dance at a time!!
The Wiggles were the staple of my childhood. I can still remember all the wiggles songs even though I’m a college freshman!
Just for the record, tomorrow is “I miss Greg day” in our dorm.
-two freshmen who miss the yellow wiggle
How lovely to hear from everyone!
We miss u and feel better.You were my favorite and always will be!
My 3 year old nephew worships the Wiggles. He has several of their DVD’s and watches them as much as he can. Greg will be dearly missed and hope he will be able to return some day. My nephews’ 2 sisters watch the wiggles with him and love to dance along with them. We wish Greg the best and hope he gets the treatment he needs for his illness. Our family will be waiting for his return.

My four year old nephew loves the Wiggles, and he absolutely adores Greg. I remember my sister telling me of Greg leaving the Wiggles; and I felt so sad for him. I asked her what was wrong, and she said she didn’t know. I have some Wiggles CD’s and DVD’s, and my nephew also has some Wiggles CD’s and DVD’s as well. I am in college-I am a senior; but Greg’s voice is absolutely amazing. My nephew still asks me for him, and asks me when he will be back with the Wiggles. Greg has helped me through some very tough times lately, emotionally stressful times; and I just want to thank him for his dedication to the Wiggles for so many years. I want to also thank him for inspiring me and motivating me to stay in school, and to be successful in all that I do. The Wiggles and Greg are truly the very best; and the Wiggles just won’t be the same without Greg. Thank you Greg for all that you have done for my nephew; he truly does love you and adore you. Thank you for your music too; it is truly and simply the very best. I wish you well in all of your future endeavors, and I pray that you are continuing to manage your condition as well.
