Mr. Gregory was assistant principal during the years I taught at Judson. He
was always fair to students and teachers alike. He was a good disciplinarian but a fair one, and the kids knew that -- as did the teachers. I have good memories of
those years at Judson and will never forget the fine people I worked with. Dwain Gregory
was a true gentleman in every way. I am blessed to have known him. May you, his
family, find peace in your good memories.

Many years ago, Coach Gregory was my 6th grade Science & Art teacher at Judson. The science part was by the text book, but he got kind of creative with our Art projects - everybody had to take off a shoe & sock, prop their foot up on the desk, and sketch that foot. He demonstrated the proper way to do it. What a hoot !
My mother, Alice Collier, taught Coach Gregory at Leverett's Chapel, he taught us at Judson, and then my sister, Cynthia Collier-Young, taught Greg at Spring Hill.
Our thoughts an prayers are with each of you. May you feel God's peace and remember all of the special times your family shared with joy and happiness.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Debra Collier-Kerstetter
Mr Gregory was also at Mozelle Johnston with my mom Ann Billingsley (secretary) for a while our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
It has been my privilegeto know the Gregory family for over 50 years. My Dad bought one of the two stores in Spring Hill during my sophomore year in high school. The Gregory's were customers in our store and were always a very special family to the Graham's. The Gregory family was blessed to have the first chicken that I ever cut up as dinner one evening. The only pieces that were truly identifiable were the legs and wings. Mr. Gregory shared with Dad how much they enjoyed the mystery chicken.
I also taught at Judson Middle School during the time Mr. Gregory was Assistant Principal. He was first class to work with and he expected the best of teachers, students, parents. His energy and his enthusiasm knew no bounds.
Our prayers are with Mrs. Gregory, Greg and Ann.

To the family of Dwain Gregory,
I knew Dwain for many years and enjoyed working with and for him at Judson Middle School' He was my assistant principal, and I also considered him to be a good friend. He was much fun and really enjoyed, as did I, working with the young teenagers. He and I were always big sports fans, Even though I can no longer attend the Longview Lobo football games due to my inability to walk with Multiple Sclerosis I've had for many years now, I do listen to Brent Taylor, Johnny Vaughan, Eddie Joe, and Mike Richardson, broadcast the games. My husband and I both knew Dwain. We attended the Lobo games for 47 years, never missing a game in or out of town. My husband, P.O., died 5 years ago. and I no loner can walk to attend sporting events. I grew up playing sports and enjoyed them very much. Together, with some other faculty members, Dwain and I watched the Judson Middle School. football games played at the Judson Stadium. I'll always remember how much the students enjoyed our staying to watch them in their activities. Away from school I would run into Dwain, and often talked to him about our shared interests in gardening. Dwain was easy to know and will be greatly missed. I send my love to you, Martha, and was glad to know you through Dwain. My special thoughts are sent to all the family. I know that he loved all of you greatly. He'll be waiting for you to join him and have a wonderful after life.
God bless you and keep you in His arms of love..
A friend who cares,
Mary Faith Hatley
