Sorry I couldn't be at the services, I didn't find out until July 14, 2013.
My condolences to the family. Leo was a close friend of mine in Houston. He lived across the street. I'll never forget the guitar get-togethers and motorcycle trips with he and his sons.
He was an outstanding man, and a person you would like to be around. May he rest in peace.

Wade and Cori are great friends. I never had the pleasure to meet Mr. Gregory, although if his son is any indication of the kind of man his father was, I am certain I would have enjoyed meeting him. Our sincerest condolences and prayers are offered up for your father Wade. We are sorry for your loss. Chris and Linda Langley
