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

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.
Yet, “the fi nest bunch of
players I was ever around,”

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.”
