May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

John was always a great example to all. His influence on so many was from his deep seated belief in all that was GOOD and WHOLESOME. He was an amazing PAMAKID and fantastic mentor and leader. All who knew him are better off for that!

I had the pleasure of running races and volunteering with John from 1987 to 1993 when I lived in San Francisco and was a member of the DSE running club. He was a fun mentor to me as I was a restless young buck trying to find my way in the world. His wisdom was second to none. I am sure we will meet again when we are running races in heaven.

May the soul of John Borman Gregson Rest In Eternal Peace. May the angels lead him to paradise. Amen

I loved Mr. Gregson, father of my dear friend John Gregson. He was true blue with a heart of goal, a great story teller, a hard, talented worker, and a lover of life. He and Mrs. Gregson raised a wonderful boisterous family. I felt I was a part of the family on the numerous times I experienced his hospitality on my visits to SF.
Aloha Nui Mr. Gregson, thanks for being such an inspiration and role model for me.

Mr Gregson was a great coach and a wonderful man. May God bless his soul and the Gregson family.

I live in the Philippines and my vists tot he States were not that often -- but for sure I would pass by SFO and visit with the family. Uncle John was always so warm and accomodating -- he always had something for me before going home -- sometimes a book, as set of stampitas, a memento from his last travel and things like that --- just so I wouldn't go home empty handed. That how sweet and loving an uncle he was. And I love how he...
