And many family and friends. He is preceded in death by his Momma Eva Jo Gregory and sister Cindy Gregory Elliott. David (Pudgy) loved his family and friends. He loved being on a boat, fishing and spending time at the river. He enjoyed competing in cookoffs as the Black Sheep Cookers, and just hanging out with family and friends. David (Pudgy) loved live music and dancing; he loved playing pool, (even though it got him in trouble time to time); and he especially enjoyed being a papa and spending time with his two grandsons. He was so very proud to start a successful Air Conditioning Company along side his sons and son-in-law, and enjoyed teaching them everything he knew. We will all miss him dearly.
