Richard L. Gregory, age 88, of Mercer, PA and formerly of Donation Rd., Otter Creek Twp., Greenville passed away Tuesday morning, March 4, 2025.

He was born in Franklin on November 22, 1936. Dick graduated from Victory High School in 1954 and served in the United States Army. He retired from Trinity Industries following 36 years of employment as a welder.

Dick was a member of Oak Grove Church, Mercer. He enjoyed drawing, painting, and music, especially rockabilly, polka, and bluegrass. Dick always kept a pen and small notepad in his shirt pocket to write down all his thoughts and ideas. He loved making people laugh in the way that he told stories, mowing grass on the zero-turn, fast classic cars, and motorcycles. Dick was known for his expressive eyebrows that always told the rest of the story.

On May 28, 1961, Dick married the former Madalyn (Mandy) C. Greggs; she passed away March 15, 2019.

He is survived by two sons, R. Scott (Susan) Gregory of Salem, OH and Christian L. Gregory (Lisa Greco) of Mercer; a sister, Maxine Fuller of Franklin; five grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.
