Benjamin Gregory

I just heard about this. Ben was my sons' scout leader for years and was a very important influence on them. Their father, who was also a scout leader and Eagle scout, died when they were babies, and his only expressed wish was that they be encouraged to become scouts. Ben was more than just a scout leader for them. I am so sorry for your loss.

Ben, you will be missed. You provided me years of guidance, mentorship and friendship. You helped me become the man I am today. I miss you.

Our deepest condolences to Ben's family and friends.

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

Gregory Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

God Bless,

Ben was my favorite Boy Scout trainer. He was so wise and I'm grateful that he shared his thoughts and experiences with me. He brought me to tears one night when talking about interacting with the boys on a more intimate level. He was a beautiful man and I will miss him very much. Though I could never fill his shoes, I will honor him by teaching to others what he taught to me.

My thougths and prayers are with you & your family

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. I will always remember coming to Calvary with my grandparents for holidays and enjoying Mr. Gregory's delicious cooking. May God bless.

My prayers are with your family during this time of your loss. Jenni is a very precious friend to our family.

Ben was a great guy! We used to swap "private school" stories when I was at Stony Point School and he at Chickahominy Academy. Sympathy and prayers from the Ruckers.

There will be some big shoes to fill around Calvary United Methodist Church. When I saw him at his last luncheon at church three weeks ago, I said to him " what are we going to do without you around here" and he said "someone will always come along" and he had the sweetest look on his face. I am so glad to have had that conversation with him and to have known him for 37 years. He was truly a God fearing man! Love to Verna, Danny, Gloria and family!

I had the honor of meeting Ben Gregory at NC Wesleyan College in 1974. He became a great friend for life. He never met a stranger and would always go out of his way to help someone else. We will miss him as he has touched so many. My thoughts and prayers to the family.

Ben leaves an empty space in our Church and a hole in our hearts, he was our everything. We will miss him so much but I know he is at peace. I'm sure he is in heaven right now looking for someone to fix that squeaky hinge on the pearly gates and cooking up a wonderful meal. Our loss is God's gain. Verna, Danny and Gloria please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Ben and I worked together for several years at MONY. He was well liked by everyone. Always willing to help others and always had a smile on his face. He will be missed by all.

Danny we are So sorry to hear about your brother you and your family are in our prayers.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Gregory family. Ben was a wonderful person.

To Ben's family and friends I send my condolences. Ben was so alive when we saw him at the Chesapeake District Ruritan meeting just a few weeks ago. It is difficult to believe that he has gone to his reward. Our prayers are with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Gregory family.

We will truly miss Ben at the 2900 Ruritan Bingo Hall. I will miss his smile and the big Good Mornings that he displayed. Ben was a friend to all and would help anyone at anything. God bless Verna and Gloria, I know your hearts are heavy.

It is great sadness to hear of the passing of Ben Gregory. I had known Ben since 2005 when I started work for the Department of Charitable Gaming (now Office of Charitable & Regulatory Programs)where he served as the game manage for the Ruritans bingo game.

Ben was a wonderful person that dedicated himself to the Ruritans and for the bingo volunteers and players he got to know over the years. His positive attitude even as he was facing difficult times showed what kind of man he was throughout his life.

On behalf of the staff of the Office of Charitable & Regulatory Programs, we wish to express our condolences and sympathy to Ben Gregory's family and friend during this time of loss.

Respectfully,

Rudy Johnson

You will be greatly missed by every one you have met in your life!

Dear Family,
I don't have to tell you but Ben was quiet a man and a wonderful, dedicated Ruritan. We are saddened to hear of his death but know he is in a better place. I hope knowing others care will bring you comfort in these coming days. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Yours in Ruritan friendship,

RIP Ben. Sympathies to the family.
