Frankie Gregg

Frankie Nathaniel Gregg, 71, of Silver Spring, Maryland transitioned from this earthly life on Wednesday, December 28, 2023, at home.  He was born on February 22, 1952, in Pamlico, South Carolina to Marjorie Gregg Daniels.

Frankie received his education in the Florence County School System and graduated from Gibbs High School in Pamlico, South Carolina in 1970.  He matriculated at Allen University and later transferred to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and graduated in 1975.  His career path led him to several endeavors but later worked for the federal government with the U.S. Parole Commission with the Department of Justice until his retirement after 12 years.  Frankie obtained his work ethics at a young age working in the tobacco fields and barns.

Some of his favorite hobbies were playing chess, tennis, and watching all the classic tv westerns every day, and of course the Washington Redskins (Commanders) play on Sunday.  Which is what brought Frankie to Washington in the first place.  He was an avid reader and loved to have long conversations about any subject.

Frankie loved taking his grandsons for outings to the horse stables, watching the metro and freight trains go by, and teaching them about sports. Favorite sweets were sweet potato pies, pound cakes and raisin cakes.
