Mr. Gregg was born on Thursday. June 16, 1938, in Taylorsville, Mississippi to Hinds and Lillie Mae Moore Gregg.  He was reared on the Gregg Farm, on the outskirts of Taylorsville. He attended Taylorsville School. Outside of high school, he began working for Broadfoot Construction Company, building roadways and highways across the State of Mississippi and southeast Louisiana, working on roads in the Mississippi Delta to the Gulf coastal region. If you ride on it today, he helped build it.  He left the road construction business after thirteen years.  He then joined the work force at Georgia Pacific in Taylorsville where he operated a Lathe. He retired with twenty-three years of service with Georgia Pacific.  He continued to raise cattle on the Gregg Farm until his retirement due to health issues.

He was a great storyteller, sometimes elaborating and always entertaining a captive audience.  He was a devoted member of the Bunker Hill Masonic Lodge, Post #311.  He loved to garden and tinker while always working on projects.  He was an active member of the New Liberty Landmark Missionary Baptist Church, until his declining health prohibited him from attending.
