Harold E. Gregg, 99, of Jerome, passed away Nov. 3, 2007, at Bridgeview Estates in Twin Falls.
Harold was born Sept. 6, 1908, at Bryant, Wash. He moved to Jerome with his family in 1909. His father was employed with the Northside Canal Company. He surveyed the canals used to irrigate before Milner Dam was built. Harold, his brother and sisters grew up on a farm in the Canyonside community and attended schools in Jerome. He helped his father farm and drill wells to make a living from the land that they had grubbed out of sagebrush.
He went to work for the United States Post Office in 1935 and retired in 1970. He was the assistant postmaster for the last 20 years of his service. He also farmed his whole life where he lived west of town. Harold was a devoted member of the United Methodist Church and served as the treasurer for a number of years. He was a 50-year member of the Masonic Lodge. He married Ruth Tubbs in July of 1931; they had four children, three sons, Robert (Elizabeth) of Boise, Edward (June) of Jerome and Gary, also of Jerome; and one daughter, Barbara Hoyt of American Fork, Utah.
He is survived by his children, numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Ruth; and his brothers and sisters, Jack, Gladys, Dorothy and Ardis.
Harold was a perfect example of a hard-working, law-abiding, God-loving man who, through the hard times, managed to make life better for his family and, in good times, quietly relished in the peace of feeling "job well done."
