Gregg was a deeply caring and giving husband, father, grandfather, friend and neighbor. He instinctively exemplified the love of Christ to everyone he encountered. He maintained his sense of humor even in some especially difficult circumstances. But more than anything, he was and will always be loved and admired by his family.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, January 27, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. at Jefferson Street Christian Church. Officiants will be Mr. Michael Mallick and Mr. Mike Nichols. Bring photos, memories and stories to share.
