Gregory graduated from Alliance High School in 1970 and pursued higher education at Ohio State University, earning his degree in Micro-Biology in1974. His loyalty to the Buckeyes was unwavering, and he took great joy cheering them on during football season.

For 42 dedicated years, Gregory was a respected and valued member of the Roe Dental Lab team. Helping to lead and grow the company, Gregory’s connection to his colleagues and friends remained strong even after his retirement.

In his leisure time, Gregory was on the waters of Lake Erie. An avid boater and fisherman, he spent countless hours sailing, visiting the islands and looking for the perfect fishing spot. He was also an enthusiastic supporter of the Buckeyes and Cleveland Guardians.

Gregory is survived in death by his sisters Cynthia (David Matak), and Constance (Tetters). Gregory is preceded in death by his parents Frank and Donna Shreve, and brother Douglas Shreve, whom he held close in his heart and memory.
