James s/o Henry Gregg 2-Aug 3, 1935- Aug 17 1995

Jim was the son of Henry and Marie Gregg and one of my four brothers. He died the same year our father did. This classic convertible car was his prized possession. Rumor was that he sold it to the Continental Inn in Lexington and it was the one in their lounges a few years back. He collected antiques as a hobby. He really loved collecting antiques. He was beaming that wonderful, rare smile of his the day I took this photo. Jim was brilliant and talented and very good to us younger girls. He did everything he could to make things more fun for us on holidays. At easter he would get baby chicks and baby ducks and special candy. He helped us so many times in life. He is the one that helped me get my driver's license and the one who took me to Frankfort for legal papers after my first husband passed away. He could paint and draw like a professional and had an eye for antiques and searching for them was one of his favorite things. He played the piano by ear but like a professional. He had impeccable taste in furniture and was very wise about many things. His favorite person in the family was our sister Brenda who ran a close second to our mother whom he loved devotedly. Brenda and her husband Tommy spent many hours with Jim and they were the best of friends. He knew he could rely on them for anything. He was devoted to family more than anything in life and never got over the death of our mother. He died too soon from diabetes and heart problems and we miss him very much. He was brilliant and died too young.
