Robert A. Gregg 1929-2020

Robert A. “Sonny” Gregg, age 90, of Princeton, passed away on Friday, March 13, 2020, at Richmond Healthcare in Richmond.

He was born Sept. 12, 1929, in Bush City, the son of Emmitt and Eva (Ashburn) Gregg. Sonny attended Garnett High School and served in the United States Air Force for four years. 

He married Naomi Rockers on Dec. 2, 1950. This union was blessed with three children, Gary, Vicki and Trina.

Sonny moved to Kansas City in 1955, where he worked for 20 years as an engineer. He started a construction company building commercial buildings, then went into commercial real estate. 

He loved working outside and spending time at the Lake of the Ozarks with his family. He especially liked reshaping and constructing their home, and we are sure he already has his next project lined up. 

Sonny was preceded in death by his parents, Emmitt and Eva Gregg; one son, Gary Gregg; and one daughter, Trina Harrison. 

He is survived by his wife, Naomi Gregg, of the home; one daughter, Vicki Evans and husband Phill of Bates City, Mo.; eight grandchildren, Matt, Alina, Darcy, Caryl, Katheryn, Trevor, Sage and Kale; 18 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild; two sisters, Evelyn Burns of Bel Air, Md., and Delores Gillespie of College Station, Texas; and one brother, Melvin Gregg and wife Joyce of Leavenworth. David Powls of Holton is one of many surviving nephews and nieces.

Memorial services at St. Therese Catholic Church in Richmond are being planned for a later date, due to COVID-19. Inurnment will follow in the St. Boniface Cemetery at Scipio. A rosary will be held at the church, prior to the service time. 

Memorial contributions may be made to the Robert Gregg Memorial Fund. Condolences to the family at www.feuerbornfuneral.com
