James Gregory Obituary
Jim proudly served his country in the United States Army, where he was a recipient of several service medals including the Vietnam Service Medal with two Bronze Stars, and the Sharpshooter Medal for his talents with a Rifle M-14. Jim was a member of the AMVETS. He was a handy man who could fix anything. For a number of years he repaired automobiles, televisions, and many other appliances. Most of all, Jim loved and cherished the moments he spent with his family, traveling and family picnics among other activities. He will be greatly missed.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother-in-law, Keith Dillinger and his father and mother-in-law, Byrd and Nola Dillinger as well as his great-nephew, Ayden Howard.
