Ronald L. Gregory

Ronald Lester "Moe" Gregory, 63, returned to his heavenly home on December 31, 2014 after a valiant battle with a long illness. His devotion to his family, and his firm belief in God supported him in his struggle and ultimately gave him peace. Ron was born on September 15, 1951 in Blount Co., TN to Lester C. & Barbara Jean Gregory. Moe is best described as an artist who often sketched and painted and was often seen in the driveway piddling with his old cars. He was a witty individual who loved his nieces and nephews and spoiled them with attention and love. Preceded in death by: Father, Lester C. Gregory; Grandparents, Earl & Dorothy Headrick and William & Katherine Gregory. Ron is survived by his mother, Barbara Jean Gregory and her husband Rev. Andrew Clabo; Brother & Sister-in-law, Jack & Donna Gregory; Sister & Brother-in-law, Glinda & Danny Ellis. Graveside service will be at 1:00 PM, Saturday, January 3, 2015 at Smith Chapel with Rev.
