I always enjoyed, Mr Gregg as a teacher, as well as a very funny guy. His classes were always a pleasure. So sorry he has passed, my sincere sympathy to his wife Sharon , and his entire family. HUGS! John R. Taylor, Brownsville, TX.

Mr. Gregg was a wonderful teacher at Venice High School.  I always enjoyed his classes.  He was a wonderful and caring man and teacher.  My sincere sympathies to the Gregg family.  Mary Catherine (Miller) Schwenk

I taught next door to Jim for many years before I decided to move to Washington state back in 1979.  He helped me build a deck on my house in Fairview Hts. I know what you must be feeling Sharon as I lost my wife Cynthia to cancer 8 years ago.

To the Gregg family,
I just learned of Jim's passing yesterday while visiting a mutual friend and co-worker. I so enjoyed Jim's dry sense of humor and loved teasing him about his khaki pant wardrobe. In return, he found plenty of things about me to make comments about. I know it will take you a long time to adjust to his absence. May you remember all the good times and all his good qualities.

Sharon,
My prayers are with you and your family during this time.  May God be with you always.

Sharon, we want to extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Words cannot express the sorrow that I feel for the loss of my brother-in-law. Jim and Sharon were soul mates and will remain soul mates throughout eternity. They shared a love for travel and adventure as kindred spirits exploring nature all around the world. This will be a stressful time for my sister and her family, but I know they will find comfort knowing that Jim loved them and provided a wonderful home and life for them.  They have many memories to share and recall.  They have been through good times and bad times, but always loved and cared for each other.  I will miss you, Jim. I'll never forget sharing a beer with you and the good times. Love, Sheila

Dear Gregg family: My prayers for your strength at this time are constant.  I am so glad I ran into Jim in the lobby of a dr.'s office we shared.  It was so good to talk with him and catch up on "old" times. We worked together many years at Hastings and had many laughs.  I am very blessed to have had him for a friend.

Sharon,   I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved Jim.  My prayers are with you and your family.   Lynn Bullard

When I first started working for Dave, every time I saw Jim he would say hello, but he sure did not smile very often.  I thought he was pretty gruff and intimidating...all business.  I made it a personal goal to break through that façade and make him smile.  I began calling him "Perky".  He would laugh each time.  Never again did I think of Jim as gruff!

Sharon,
My prayers are with you and your family during this stressful time. May you find comfort in knowing that Jim got to travel and see so many places. He really enjoyed going on the internet looking for interesting places to go and things to do. He would always give me a run down on what he found. I am glad you both had the time to enjoy some of his retirement years.  Bless you all.

I loved all of my classes with Mr. Gregg.  I still use my shorthand skills to this day!  He was a nice man and I remember that he used to call us by our last name...LOL.  May you find comfort in knowing how many student's lives he enriched.  RIP Mr Gregg.

I'm sorry for your loss Ms. Gregg. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Sharon,
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this very difficult time.

Dear Sharon and Family, 
So very sorry to hear about, Jim.  Such a wonderful, kind man and such a dear friend to my dad.  Have fond memories of his trips to Phoenix just to be with my dad.  Always appreciate how much he cared for others.  Our prayers are with you. Love, Dutko Family

I'm so sorry for your loss, Sharon.  You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

May GOD comfort you and your family during  your time of sorrow.  You are in my thoughts & Prayers.

Sharon and family, I am so sorry for your great loss. Jim was a very nice man, and I have many fond memories of staying at your home when Carrie and I were in school together. I remember how much he loved Willie Nelson :) I also remember you and Jim taking my brother Deric and I to Johnson Space Center prior to our move to Orlando, Florida. We had such a great time, and believe it or not, I have now lived in Orlando for over 30+ years now, and still I have not been to Kennedy Space Center!!! When I finally do go, I will think of Jim fondly. God Bless each of you, and may your loving memories of him stay in your hearts forever. Doreena and family

Sharon, I am so saddened by the loss of Jim. He would always call me when he needed a retiree's phone number and especially to tell me about all of your many travels.  He would tell me that Steve and I needed to go here and there. At other tmes we would talk about how much we missed Dave. Jim had such love for his family. He will be missed. I pray that God comforts your heart and that your many memories bring to you a smile.

Thinking of you and your family.  May you find some peace and comfort in the arms of your many friends and family.  Sending my love to you.  Nancy Fisher

Our deepest sympathy to you, Sharon, and all your family.

Sharon,
I know that words are inadequate at a time like this. The loss of a spouse is a tragic event. I can only imagine the pain and void you are feeling. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

There will be a lot of catching up for Jim and Dave. I have many memories of Jim and loved when he shared pictures from your trips. He is the reason we took our fabulous Alaska cruise. Jim was such a help to me after Dave passed away. May God comfort you as you transition to life without your dear husband. My condolences to you and your family.

Dear Sharon I know all the wonderful times the two of you have shared. Lovely family and wonderful trips, enjoying each other and being a team. I am saddened that Jim is not here with you but I know your strong faith and I know you know he is in the hands of the Lord. I will hold you tight in my heart and mind and soul and lift many prayeers in the days to come. God Bless You all... Sharon Schilling one of you Liestman teachers.

Sharon,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your famy during this difficult time. Love to all.

Dear Sharon, I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your husband..I was with y'all, in my imagination, on all your Alaska and beyond trips!  Sending my prayers for comfort and peace during this very difficult time...Love, Sue Merritt
