The Gregg family has always been a good friend to my family. I have wonderful memories of playing in various bands with Dr. Gregg. Always encouraging me. He took a personal interest in me and provided me with one of my first jobs cleaning his vet clinic on the weekends. I thank Jesus for knowing Hank and his wonderful family. What a blessing.
Love,

I've been extremely fortunate to have Hank as my father-in-law for twenty-five years. I will carry with me many happy memories of our times together, and I will miss him very much.

May your memory be a blessing. In Amy, you have a legacy of righteousness, a quest for justice, and in Linnea the hope of a future in which righteousness and justice prevail.

You were a wonderful father and an outstanding human being. You made family time a priority as well as caring for the earth, especially its less fortunate inhabitants. I'll miss your humor, your thoughtful questions, and your warm, gentle voice. Love you always, Dad!
