Gregory was a devoted husband, and wonderful father to his girls and his beloved pets. He lived every day like it was his last. His first love is and always will be radio.

His radio name, "Captain Rik Jagger" was given to him by WJR Radio, as he was the very first AM/FM traffic helicopter pilot in Michigan, along with his dear friend, Channel 7's Dennis Neubacher. Rik ended his radio career at 97.1 WKRK as News Interpreter with afternoon "way-cools" radio stars, Deminski & Doyle.

Gregory is survived by his incredibly lucky wife of over 17 years, Donna; his "grey-hair-making" daughters, Amy-Nicole Fernandez (and Bill Martines) and Alizabeth Anne "Becky" Fernandez; his sons, Max and Major; mother, Lucielle (the late Kenneth) Sieloff; brothers, Tim, Patrick and his beloved David; and sister, Jennifer. Gregory is also survived by his spiritual daughters and son, Taylor, Brett and Bethany Strickland.
