Richard “Rick” Gregg

January 3, 1963 – September 20, 2019

Richard “Rick” Gregg passed away peacefully on September 20, 2019 surrounded by his loving family at the Alexander Cohen Hospice House in Hughson, CA. He was born in Oakland, CA on January 3, 1963 to Kenneth Gregg (deceased) and mother Marilyn Wetter of Turlock, CA.

Rick leaves behind his loving wife of 22 years Jonna and his son Cody (Shelby); also survived by his step-father Al Wetter; brother Kenneth (Michelle) Gregg; step-sisters Lynn (Ed) Dimas and Christie (Juan) Cornejo; brother in laws Daniel Kerr and Randy Kerr (Vicki); and sister in law Rita Kerr. In addition, Rick was known as “ Mr. Rick” to his extended family Kori (Eddie) Wilcox, Katlyn (Daniel) Griggs, and Courtnie (Dominick) Betancourt, including Kaine, Kynnlie and Hunter, as he called them the “Grands”.

Rick attended Elementary and High School in the Bay area and after high school enlisted into the Army serving as a Helicopter Mechanic.

After his service he began to work in the Plastic Injection Molding industry which ended up being his career for 35 years. He was a Molding Department Manager for Volk Enterprises in Turlock for nearly 25 years. His passion was his work, his love of his family and playing with the “Grands”! He also enjoyed sports, camping and quading. Rick was a lover of all animals, especially his cats.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. The family would like to express their gratitude to Community Hospice for their compassionate care. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Community Hospice @ 4368 Spyres Way Modesto, CA 95356 or to Friends of Turlock Animal Shelter, 2620 Ball Ct., Turlock, CA 95382.

I remember Rick as a young man who was looking for a future. I hired.hom at Hayward Plastics and mentored him in Manufacturing. In time I encouraged him to move forward with a company down South. After a while, our paths met again as a Plant Manager at Volk Enterprises and he was my go to production manager. We had a lot of laughs, sorrow, and victories. When came time for me to move on, Rick took the reins for the next 18 years. Well done my friend.

I rememberRick as young man looking for his future. I hired him at Hayward Plastics and mentored him in Manufacturing. We had a lot in common being Veterans and aircraft mechanics. I encouraged him to move on south with another plastics company. Our paths met again at Volk Enterprises as a Plant Manager and he was my go to Production Manager. We had a lot of laughs, sweating, and tears. When it was finally time to pass the reins, Rick took the lead for the next 18 years at Volk.
You will be missed.

It’s hard to comprehend Rick’s passing. Rick was an integral part of the Volk Family for many years.
I’m sorry for you Jonna, Cody, Shelby and Ricks family. May the good memories outweigh your loss in time.
Much Love,
Debra, Darin and Lea Volk
