Gregory was a veteran of the United States Army and was a patriotic man. He was never afraid to speak his mind and loved ones always knew him to be a strong and independent guy with a great, goofy sense of humor. He had a deep passion for motorcycles and engines and was always getting his hands dirty. Gregory was a compassionate man with a heart of gold who helped out people when they needed help the most. As the owner of “Ambulance on Wheels,” Gregory came to be well-known all around the St. Louis Metro Area for how he helped others and was fondly called “Goyo.” He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
