Norbert passed away on October 21, 2021 at his residence in Pataskala, surrounded by those he loved most: his daughter Elizabeth, granddaughters Tabetha and Kristen and their children, of whom he thought the world of.  He was born December 24, 1932 in Portland, Tennessee, the son of the late Harvey J. and Essie Mae (Deasey) Gregory. He served honorably in the US Army during the Korean Conflict. He retired after many years of service at AT&T Lucent. He was a member of the Newark Baptist Temple, enjoyed gardening and mowing lawns. He loved working outdoors, and was quite the jokester.

He is survived by his loving family: daughters Deborah Meek, Jane Sinon and Elizabeth Laurenz; his 7 grandchildren including Tabetha (Alexander) Frazier, Kristen (Jon) McNamara; his twenty great grandchildren including Jay, Lyndsey, Breonna, Joseph, Evan, Jonathan, Brady, Taylor, Jordan and Chloe.
