Working for a time with the Carpenter’s Union 777, and then for himself. Pod had a gift for woodworking, and it was very evident that he enjoyed it. He also enjoyed hunting, riding his four-wheeler, mowing his yard, whether it needed it or not, and his favorite, coconut pie with ice cream. Ice cream on the bottom of course.
Pod was preceded in death by his parents, four brothers, and six sisters. He is survived by his wife Karen Gregory, daughter Jody Midkiff, son Clay Gregory, and son Cole Gregory.
