Ernie Gregory - Prayer Request

Kevin Troller provided this update on Ernie Gregory.  Please keep Ernie in your thoughts and prayers.

I have some news of concern about Ernie Gregory.  Yesterday, his wife, Johanna Gregory, called me concerned about Ernie’s lack of memory, disconnected nature, and general quietness.  As I was blessed to have Mr. Gregory as my mentor for the last 10 years of my career, including being his XO in the Pentagon, I wanted to talk to him myself.  While he was pleasant, it was clear his memory was suffering and there were many things he didn’t seem to understand.  I encouraged Mrs. Gregory to push their doctor for more testing to see what was going on.  Mrs. Gregory called me backtonight to report that an MRI revealed a brain tumor.  They will be talking with the doctors more this week to see if surgery is possible, and if so, when.

I asked Mrs. Gregory if I could tell RAFINO so we could have our Finance community praying for Mr. Gregory, and she said Yes.  So I share this with all of you, and Robby, ask you to use the words you feel appropriate for our membership.  While Mr. Gregory was a civilian, and in fact an Air Force officer before joining the Army as a civilian …. I don’t know of anyone that contributed more to our mission and to the thousands of people he invested in throughout his and our careers.  As his XO, I had the honor of seeing all he did from his desk in the Pentagon, with leaders from all Services and DFAS … Generals, SES, and Soldiers and Civilians of all ranks and grade.  To see him in the field with deployed troops and to listen to his countless stories during presentations was a joy.  His gregarious and energetic style was captivating.  I pray God’s will is to restore Mr. Gregory to complete health.  I also pray for all the doctors, nurses, and administrators that will be serving Mr. Gregory.  May God work through all of them !!!
