Richard Gregory

A man born again and dedicated to Christ. Lovingly known to all his friends and family as Dick. Richard Gregory peacefully passed away on the evening of Monday, Aug. 18, 2025, at home in Libby surrounded by his loving family. 

Born April 12, 1943, the son of a mason in Poughkeepsie, New York, at a young age moved to the Trego area of Montana where he spent much of his childhood fishing, hunting and watching wildlife. 

He left home at 17 and became a cowboy, working for local families on their ranches in Shelby. At 19, he made the decision to serve his country by joining the Navy during the Vietnam era. Later in life, he attended college for eight years and enjoyed a successful career as a Journeyman Electrician completing specialty electronics. At retirement, he returned home to where his heart was in Montana.

He is survived by his wife, Ginnie of 61 years; four daughters and two son-in-laws: Norma Gregory, Kimberly Gregory Ruiz, Coni Atwood (H-Craig) and Michelle Mohoric (H-Todd); 12 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

Richard is preceded in death by his mother, Thelma Horton Gregory; dad, Herbert W. Gregory Sr.; brothers, Herbert W. Gregory Jr. and Cyrus Gregory; and his sister, Isabell Gregory Hearn.

A memorial will be held at 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 29, at the Libby Christian Church 100 Kootenai River Rd, Libby, MT 59923. Flowers/cards can be sent to the church in his name
