Gregory O Munson, M.D., died in Orlando on May 30, 2016 from a hemorrhagic stroke. He was born on 21, 1949 in St. Louis, Missouri. He graduated in 1967 from Kirkwood High School in Missouri and in 1971 from Purdue University where he found a second home and lifelong friendships at the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity. His medical education started at University of Missouri School of Medicine and spanned a surgical internship at Medical of Wisconsin, surgical residencies at University of Missouri and a spine surgery fellowship at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. He found a team of doctors who shared his commitment to quality conservative patient care, ethics, and mutual respect at Jewett Orthopedic Clinic in Winter Park Florida in 1982. He was an elected member of their Executive Committee for 27 years from its inception in 1985. He retired from Jewett in of 2015. He was a talented and compassionate surgeon. He enjoyed many professional organizations, especially the annual camaraderie at the North American Spine Society. Ever since his retirement, Greg was a valued legal expert witness.

Greg is predeceased by his father, Glenn L. Munson. Survivors include his wife, Jan Taylor, whom he married on May 24, 1975. She was the love of his life - as he is hers. Greg and Jan raised one son, Eric, currently residing in St. Louis. Greg was so proud of Eric and they shared many "boy and his dad" adventures that Eric will never forget. Greg adored his three grandchildren Payton 8, Shea 6, and Max 4. He is survived by his tap dancing, still employed, 93 year old mother Angie, also of St. Louis. Greg was very close to his sister Trudy Munson Burke a Maxillofacial Prosthodontist in New Jersey. loved spending long hours on the phone laughing, often while he was hiking in a park. He admitted that he needed to find a bigger park. He is also survived by six loving nieces and nephews: Charles Ince (Boulder, Colorado), Wes Ince (Charlotte, North Carolina), Ryan Burke (Hoboken, New Jersey), Sarah Spolaor (Socorro, New Mexico), Hannah Cranbury (Riverside, California), and Taylor Brock, (Winter Park, Florida). Greg was devoted to his family.

Greg was most happy when filling his Cajun grill and Cookshack smoker with meat and seafood for his family, friends, and ALL the friends of his family and friends. His generosity was endless. He made a mean smoked duck salad and multiple gourmet specialties to take on fishing trips and to serve at his Men's Nights. One could not be with Greg long before his sense of humor and story telling took over the room. He will be missed by all!
