I have been away from Mandeville and out of touch with the Gregory’s for many years. But they were an integral part of my life and an incredible, positive influence on me growing up in Mandeville. Dr. Gregory was our family physician and our friend, as was the entire family. He was a warm, kind, fun loving, and adventurous person. I was best friends with Leah and traveled with them out west in their RV several summers. They were my second family and introduced me to experiences I would not have otherwise had. My heart goes out to his daughters, and his grandkids. I bet he was an amazing grandpa! We are all better for having him in our lives and despite the years of not being in touch, he and the entire family have such a special place in my heart.

Greg was such a wonderful Doctor. I was living in N.O. and had gotten very sick; I came across the lake and went to their home. They had guests for supper that evening. I apologize for intruding, but Greg and Jackie took me to their bedroom and told me to just lie still. After their guest left, Greg examined me. When to his office and took x-rays. This was the kind of Dr. Greg was! Truly a man who practices his Oath to help people. Sincerely, Walter Links

Dr. Gregory and I had an unique relationship, thanks in part because of me working across the parking lot at Thrift Drugs. I remember stopping and saying "Hi" to the nurses, TJ (the lab rat, and Doctors Gregory and Keller), filing x-ray films, sometimes pulling a patient's file, visiting patients (reminds me of my current Hospital Chaplain work). Dr. Greg set my shattered radius, stitched under my eye, and most famously took my advice for treating my skin issues. You see, I had gone to a million different doctors, and no one could get a decent handle on what could be done. But when I went to him, he asked me to write out everything I had already done so he would not waste either of us' time. I filled out 3 pages - front and back with the treatments including meds and prescriptions very thoroughly. He laughed at the very clear explanation of everything and told me I should consider being a doctor. I told him I had bigger plans. Dr. Gregory was not just my doctor - though he was the best I have known (even today with the couple hundred I deal with every week at my four hospitals); He was not just someone who you could trust and knew he cared; Dr. Gregory was a friend, and did not expect respect, but got it anyway because he was "one of the good ones". We all have people like that in our lives, and unfortunately more times than most, these kinds of people are in our past. But Dr. Gregory is part of my chosen and favored past.
God bless him, and may God's peace, provision, and presence be evident, obvious, and abundant for Dr. Gregory's family and loved ones. Shalom & Agape
Thank you.

I worked for Dr G and Dr Keller back in the early 80's for a few years. Dr G was a wonderful man to work with. I used to say the office was like a pot of gumbo. And Dr G was the cajun spice. He was a awesome man of medicine and a gentle man with his patients. Dr G & Dr K were a wonderful team in medicine.
It's your time now Dr G. You will be missed.
Prayers for Ms Jackie and all the family..

Dr. Gregory cared for our family health for many years.
A man of dedication and intelligence in his profession that was of the very highest standing.
We moved on from his " offices " by a change in medical insurance coverage.
Our thoughts are with him.

Dr. Gregory was one of the first physicians to welcome me to the practice of medicine on the Northshore in 1973 and for that I was always appreciative. My wife and I wish to express our sincere condolences.

I met Greg in 1986 and he has been one of my heroes and favorite people. He and Jerry Keller were among the first residency trained and board certified Family Physicians in Mandeville and were part of the foundation of the community. They did everything in those days, delivering babies, covering the hospital and emergency room and making house calls. They became Ochsner's first clinic on the north shore. The Gregory's are the most gracious people I have ever met and always focused on other people, rather than themselves. Greg enjoyed interacting with medical students and he loved to scare them and tease them. He was very interested in their education and future. He and Jackie established a scholarship program for Ochsner Queensland medical students who wish to become family physicians.
He will be remembered by all who knew him. I miss him a lot.

in honor of Roy.

My Mother, Penny Pendergrast, worked for Dr. Gregory and Dr. Keller soon after they started practice in Mandeville. Along with Julia and T.J., they had their own special
'Family'. She loved working for them and shared many happy times. She loved them all so much and we had the best medical coverage while they were all there. Fly high
Dr. Greg, and sincere Condolences to the Family. May the Angels already there come to greet you.

Dear Jackie and Family, Tim and I are so sorry for your loss—I should say our loss and Mandeville’s loss. We have been blessed to have the Gregory-Keller Group as our doctors for many years and now they are gone. Our sympathy to you all. Pat Timothy

There are few men I loved aside from my own father. Dr. Gregory is among them. He meant a great deal to my family. Amazing man, amazing healer. See you there Sir.
