The
Ulster-Scots surname
"Gregg" means
"Vigilant". The motto of
"Vigilance and
Altruistic Unity" and
the design of the shield
reflects the concept of
vigilance and the
armiger’s Christian
faith. The wings
represent the service of
the armiger in the US
Air Force Auxiliary.
The Crest is a black
griffin, symbolizing
vigilance, strength and
courage standing on a
tower signifying
vigilance. The griffin
is displaying the
Maltese Cross of the
Order of St. John
between its wings. As
the armiger is a
businessman, the helmet
is a "tilting helmet",
the "business" helmet of
mounted warriors. The
armiger’s badge is the
crest of the arms.
The armiger’s ancestors
include English Members
of Parliament, Knights
and Feudal Lords in
England as well as
American ancestors who
served in the American
Colonial Wars, American
Revolution, War of 1812,
the Union Army in the
United States Civil War
and World War II. He
earned his wings and
served as a Captain in
the United States Air
Force Auxiliary.
He
is married to Robin
Lynne Gregg and they
have two children, Marcy
Kate Gregg and Benjamin
Richard Gregg. He has
varied business
interests and is a
Vice-President for an
international reinsurer.
He
is an accomplished
musician, a patron of
the arts and various
charities, a delegate of
the World Affairs
Council of Philadelphia
and was appointed to The
Most Venerable Order of
the Hospital of St. John
of Jerusalem, a Royal
Order of Chivalry, by
Her Majesty, Queen
Elizabeth II in 2013. He
has been Lord of
