Sherman R. Gregory 92, a longtime resident of Keene, NH, passed away on Friday evening, January 31, 2020, at the Applewood Care and Rehabilitation Center in Winchester, NH, with his family by his side.
His parents, Charles E. and Agnes (Anderson) Gregory welcomed their son into the world on May 24, 1927 in Peterborough, NH. Sherman grew up in Peterborough, moving to Keene in 1938.
Sherman served his country in the United States Air Force in the 764th AC&W Squadron from December, 1951, until his honorable discharge on October 16, 1953.
Sherman worked as a packer and spinner with the former Hedstrom Union in Keene for twenty years. In his earlier years, he enjoyed bowling. He enjoyed watching Keene area softball and baseball games and was an avid Red Sox fan. No matter where he went, his attire always included something "Red Sox" and many of his fondest memories were trips to Fenway Park.
He was loved by many and will be greatly missed by his many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, who all held a special place in his heart. Sherman was predeceased by his brothers, Norman Gregory, Earl Gregory, Charles Gregory, Jr.; and his sisters, Shirley Marcotte, Esther Webster, June Lagasse, Joyce Raymond and Dorothy Lafleur.
Services and burial with military honors in the Monadnock View Cemetery, Keene, will be private.
