John G. Gregory ’60

Born in Philadelphia, John came to Princeton from St. Andrew’s School in Middletown, Del., where he rowed crew and was captain of the football team. With us, he played freshman football, rowed varsity crew, majored in biology, and joined Tower Club, the Outing Club, and the Pre-Med Society. He also enjoyed squash, tennis, and swimming.

John earned a medical degree at Columbia Physicians and Surgeons, interned at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, served a year with the National Institutes of Health both before and after, then completed his residency in urology at Pennsylvania Medical School in 1972. He joined St. Louis University as professor of urology then, rising to university professor and chair of the department in 1975.

He retired from his university position in 1988 to undertake private practice in St. Louis. He moved to Belfast, Maine, in 1999 and continued private practice there until final retirement in 2019. He was a devoted mentor to young physicians throughout.

John was a keen woodworker, active in the Episcopal Church, a lifelong scholar, and a rower into his last years. He married Sandy in 1964. She survives him, along with their three children, eight grandchildren, and two great-granddaughters, to whom the class send its condolences.
