The first concert I ever attended was with Tony: Aerosmith and Nazareth on July 4, 1977 at Market Square Arena. Idiots were throwing firecrackers and shooting off other fireworks. He and I had a string of firecrackers land in the seats between us. When a large firework landed on stage near Steven Tyler, he stopped in mid-song and threatened to end the concert then and there. Strangely enough, there were no more indoor fireworks the rest of the night. We will remember Tony fondly and keep his loved ones in our prayers. Roger Boyd
My memory of Tony was playin Babe Ruth baseball and we were up against Wheeler Boys Club and I was pitching and Tony (who hardly ever showed emotion) came over and handed me the ball and said ‘ Im tired of them runnin thier mouth strike out the these last 3 batters and lets go home’ I couldnt argue with him he was bigger than me! I struck out the first 2 and ‘the 3rd grounded out…we won and Tony came over and said…’ That’ll work too’…My prayers and thoughts go out to Tonys family. And to his children, as a member of the Legore Boys Club Alumni Assoc. I would like to extend an invitation to our next reunion (June 29th and 30 2013) so we can share stories of your Dad that you may have never heard……Don Neumeister

I knew and remember Tony from the LeGore Boys Club. I had not seen him in 30+ years until this April at the Boys Club Reunion. He was still the quiet guy I remember. I send my condolences to the Gregory family and hope that your fond memories of Tony never perish and last for your lifetime and beyond. RIP my Boys Club friend Mark Lyons

Reading Tony’s obituary you would never know that he had another daughter, Dyan. I don’t know what problem the adults had, but this child is innocent and should have been allowed to pay her last respects to her father. Tony’s family should be ashamed of themselves for not allowing Dyan to attend her own father’s memorial and say good-bye to her father. Shameful, just shameful . . .
I agreed, that is messed up.
