To the Gregg family, We had known your family when I was dating my husband and Bob knew Tex and Lois Boeher. My husband greg said he bought guns from Bob back in the 70's. I also had the pleasure of serving Bob at Chapel Hill in the dining room where I work. He was a very kind man and was always thankful for the help we gave him. He will be missed. Our heartfelt sympathy to all of you. Cheryl and Greg Franks

I worked many years with Bob and he was an unforgetable character. He was one of a kind, and there are still "Bob Gregg" stories making the rounds even today, all good by the way. As long as he lives in the minds of the folks he worked with its a testament to him. Condolences to the family.
RIP Bob...
