Gregory Lee Gaymont

I'm shocked to just now discover that Greg has passed! I met him & his family in our teens when they were in Jamaica on vacation. We were staying at the same hotel, I believe. Yes, his father was the inventor of Gaymont's Yougert which was well known in the midwest. I last saw Greg in Chicago when his mother passed away. He showed me his art studio; his reputation was growing quite well. One of his first known pieces was a photo of Chicago's baseball park. To Stephen Gaymont, Jr. I...

I was shocked and sorry to hear of Gregg's passing. He was warm, thoughtful, funny (his wonderful laugh!), interesting and interested in so many topics. He and I were friends at the University of Illinois, met at the Daily Illini, where we were both photographers, experimenting with different films and camera formats. These photos were shot at Gregg's studio apartment on Wright St. in Champaign, and were taken with infrared film, which gives them a soft, dreamy quality. Deepest condolences...

So sorry to hear of Greg´s passing. I spent four wonderful years with him at Sullivan high school. May God give his family comfort and may he rest in peace. My sincere condolences.

Oh, no... My mother and I just found out right now. My mom is devastated. She fondly remembers Gregory and Christina, as well as our dear friends Noly and Yolanda. Gregory emailed me not that long ago and he was very kind in his reply. Such a sweet gentleman. Our sincerest condolences to Christina, Alexandra, Eve and Yolanda. - Joseph and Gladys Tages

I am thankful for all of the good memories of Greg over so many years. He always had a smile, a new art project, and some lovely news of Christina and later Alexandra. My sincere sympathies and good wishes to Christina & Alexandra.
