Glynn Stephens Gregory

I am shocked by Glynn's death. I did not learn of his passing until this evening while I was doing some research on the internet. Glynn and I attended East Paris during our early years. In 1957 Glynn came to Austin where I was living at the time to participate in the state high school championship football game against Corpus Christi Ray. Abilene won and I met Glynn after the game and we took a photo together. Later at Austin High that year in study hall, Saralee Concklin saw the photo of Glynn and I and asked if she could do a pencil sketch of the picture. It was quite good and I still have it today. I had also seen Glynn when he was an all-stater in baseball when Abilene played Paris for the state championship. Paris won that game and I still have the program from that game today. I will miss Glynn as he was one of my good friends in elementary school and I did my best to keep up with his career. I too when into athletics, but as a coach spending most of my career in the Austin I.S.D. Glynn was a great guy and my prayers and thoughts are with his family.

Dear Virginia,
I am Dudley and Pat's son Steve. My heart sank when I learned of Glynn's passing. He was always a large part of SMU going back to when my Dad started coaching there in '59. I remember hearing both your names in many of Mom and Dad's conversations. I surely thought you two were some kind of royalty. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours,
Steve Parker and Family SMU '74, '78

Virigin, I love my volunteer work at TSRHC.org, one of the best men I would ever meet was Glynn. My wife Mary and I got to attend some working and some social events through TSRHC, it was always a joy to see Virginia and Glynn. Prayers go out to the entire family for your loss. Glynn once told me to be cautious of a man who did not like children or dogs. I thank the Lord for giving me the time to know him, I am a better man for it!

I was a 1954-57 AHS student, and am thankful I was one of the many privileged students who are so proud of our high school years. Glynn had a huge part in making it the best era ever, in AHS history. His sportsmanship, athletic abilities, outstanding character, leadership, and pride of our school, made him a man we highly admired. I join you in mourning Glynn, who made the school great, for his Eagle classmates.

Not only a Great athlete but a Great individual. Remembering working for your dad but still getting some time in summer and Pony League baseball. Even though you were so good and I wasn't you treated me with much respect. Bringing out a few pictures with you, my cousin Clint Murphy and me will always be cherished.
