Carl Gregory Obituary
A lifelong sports lover, Carl enjoyed football and golf, but he was a dedicated St. Louis Cardinals baseball and NASCAR racing fan. He also loved restoring old cars. Carl was very kind-hearted and giving, doing anything he could for others who needed help. Serving as a father figure to many, people often came to Carl for advice.
Carl was preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Mary Gregory (nee Standridge); and his brother, Robert Gregory.
Left to cherish Carl's memory are his beloved wife, Patricia "Pat" Gregory (nee Prater) of O'Fallon, IL; two children, Stacy Gregory, Christina "Christy" Cooper; two sisters, Mary Sue Evans, Ellen Jane Bourassa; three grandchildren, Nikki Zuber, Kayla Smith, Kyle Smith; and one great-grandson, Ethen Zuber.
