Hubert Gorden GregsonI am a Veteran.

of Jacksonville, AR

April 4, 1932 - March 6, 2016

Hubert Gorden Gregson, born 4 April 1932, left the bond of this physical world to join our Lord Jesus Christ 6 March 2016. He was a patriot, soldier, greens keeper, welder, fisherman, hunter, golfer, brother, son, father, grandfather and great grandfather. In the worst of times he had seen the face of the North Korean and Chinese soldier in hand to hand combat but now he sees the face of God.

Gorden, as he was known to everyone, hated the name Hubert. For that very reason Gorden Michael's mother Emma would ensure Hubert was printed on every checkbook.
Gorden had a fun active life coming up through school at Annie Camp Junior High School and Jonesboro High School where he played football. While in the Arkansas National Guard his was federalized and assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division and participated in the Korean War. As an infantryman he was at the Battle of Chosan when the Chinese entered the fight. After recovering from wounds he served the rest of his time as military policeman. Gorden was honorably discharged with, among other awards, the Purple Heart and 3 Bronze Stars. While living in California he was the commander of the American Legion Post.

He was a greens keeper for much of his life at a number of golf courses around central Arkansas and served as President of the Golf Course Superintendent's Association of Arkansas. He also loved working with his co-workers at Wal-Mart.

Gorden is preceded in death by his parents Frank and Alice Gregson, brothers Frank Jr, Clifford, Franklin and Gerald Gene ''Pete'', wives Emma Nell, Jo Ann, Pattsie, Gladys Gail and stepdaughter Mary Jackson.

Survivors include sisters Ollie Douglas, Thelma Meharg, Ruth Ann Coleman, brothers Tommy Gregson and Bill Gregson, sons Gorden Michael and Timothy Phillip, step-daughters Rhonda Wells, Marsha Gregson Stefka, Le Ann Johnson and step-son Howard Werqueyah and countless grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Visitation will be from 6-8 P.M., Wednesday, March 9, 2016 at Roller-Drummond Funeral Home, 10900 Interstate 30, Little Rock, AR 72209, (501) 455-5800.

Funeral services will be at 1:00 P.M, Thursday, March 10, 2016 at the funeral home with burial to follow at Forest Hills Memorial Park in Alexander.

Although I have not known Gordon for a long time I consider him a good friend. We had a few mutual friends and that always led to some good natured kidding when we would see each other at Wal Mart.I am so sorry to hear that Gordon has passed a way.He will certainly be missed.
