(Erin McCusker 541-276-6449) COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Forrest Gregg, the great Hall of Fame line- man for the mighty Green Bay Packers of the 1960s that Vince Lombardi called the “fi nest player I ever coached,” died Friday at age 85. Barbara Gregg said her husband of 59 years died in Colorado Springs from complications of Parkin- son’s disease. “I lost my sweetheart this morning,” she said. “It’s awful. He died in my arms.” She said that in the last two weeks her husband received a constant fl ow of calls from former team- mates and players telling him he’d made such a big difference in their lives. “I’m overwhelmed at the amount of people that loved Forrest, of the number of players that said he made men out of them,” she said. “Forrest loved people. He loved everybody. He loved his children. He loved me. And it just broke my heart. My heart is broken.” She said the funeral will be sometime next week in Colorado Springs and open to the public. Other survivors include their son, Forrest Gregg Jr., of Cincinnati, and daugh- ter, Karen Gregg-Spehar, of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Hall of Fame president David Baker described Gregg, who was enshrined in 1977, as a “giant” who “exemplifi ed greatness during a legendary career.” “He was the type of player who led by exam- ple and, in doing so, raised the level of play of all those around him,” Baker said. “Forrest symbolized many great traits and virtues that can be learned from this AP Photo/Ed Andrieski, File In this Nov. 14, 2011, fi le pho- to, Hall of Fame football play- er Forrest Gregg talks about his battle with Parkinson’s disease during an interview in Colorado Springs, Colo. game to inspire people from all walks of life.” The fl ag at the hall will be fl own at half-staff in Gregg’s honor. Gregg, who earned the nickname “Iron Man” for playing in a then-record 188 consecutive games during his career, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in October 2011. He quickly embarked on a campaign to raise pub- lic awareness about the incurable disease, urging others to seek treatment early enough to delay the degenerative effects on both the mind and body. His family and his neu- rologist said the disease may have been related to numer- ous concussions he suffered during his playing career in the 1950s at SMU, and from 1956-71 with the Packers and Dallas Cowboys. Gregg never blamed football for his health ail- ments, however. He refused to join concussion lawsuits against the NFL and said he still would have chosen to play the sport if he’d known there would be a hefty price to pay later in life. In an interview with The Associated Press in 2013, Gregg said he didn’t begrudge those who sued the league, but he had his pensions from his playing and coaching days, and “I don’t need anything from anybody but what I earned.” A guard and tackle, Gregg is one of four NFL players to win a half dozen NFL champion- ships, including the fi rst two Super Bowls with the Packers. Gregg fi nished his career with another Super Bowl title with the Cow- boys in 1971. The six-time All-Pro and nine-time Pro Bowler was elected to the NFL’s all-decade team of the 1960s and to its 75th anniversary team. He went on to coach in the NFL for 11 years with the Browns (1975-77), Ben- gals (1980-83) and Packers (1984-87). Bengals president Mike Brown on Friday recalled his good friend as one who got the best out of his players. “He was demanding. The players didn’t try to cut cor- ners,” Brown said in a state- ment. “They went out and did what they had to do, and what we were doing worked. We were somewhat ahead of the curve at the time.” Packers coach Matt LeFleur tweeted a famous photo of a mud-caked Gregg and wrote, “I’d like to extend my deep- est sympathies to the fam- ily of a true Packers legend, Forrest Gregg. This picture has been hanging in my home offi ce for the last 10 years and serves as a great reminder of what a tough competitor Forrest was.” After playing 15 NFL seasons, Gregg won 75 games as an NFL head coach and guided the Ben- gals to their fi rst Super Bowl during the 1981 sea- son, when they lost 26-21 to Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers.

TUESDAY, APRIL 16 No services scheduled FRIDAY, APRIL 19 OBITUARY POLICY No meetings scheduled Forrest Gregg, lineman for mighty Packers teams dies By ARNIE STAPLETON AP Pro Football Writer Aileen Veda Lockwood Gregg told The AP in 2013, “were the courageous kids at SMU” that went just 3-19 from 1989-90. Gregg was hired at his alma mater to restore integ- rity to an SMU program that was handed the “death penalty” in the mid-1980s for paying players. They went 2-9 in 1989 upon their return and 1-10 the next year, after which Gregg became SMU’s athletic director. “That was one of the most enjoyable times of my foot- ball life,” Gregg told The AP. “Those kids restored dignity to the Hilltop.” The East Oregonian publishes paid obituaries.
