FAMILY and friends are remembering the life of John Gregson, who passed away earlier this month.
John was the founder of the Sunshine Coast’s longest running funeral directors, Gregson & Weight.
John’s son, Royce, announced the news on August 16 from the company’s Caloundra branch, where John and his wife, Jan, together with Jan’s father, Stan Weight, founded the business back in 1972.
Last year, Gregson & Weight celebrated 50 Years of Service to the Sunshine Coast and during this time have provided funeral services for almost 45,000 families in their time of need.
Royce said after retiring a few years ago, John had enjoyed travelling and was planning his next trip in the motorhome when he was taken ill a few days ago. John passed away peacefully on Tuesday August 15 at Buderim Private Hospital, surrounded by family and friends.
John’s funeral service was held on Saturday August 19 at the Gregson & Weight Chapel, 159 Wises Road, Buderim.
