Rich was born on June 25, 1943 in Youngstown, OH to Harlan P. McGregor, M.D. and Mollie E. Badertscher McGregor, R.N. He attended South Range High School where he played safety on the football team and enjoyed running track with his brother. Throughout life, Rich avidly followed Ohio high school football and could recount plays, games, and players from the 1960s high school football scene in Ohio. He attended Youngstown State University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.
In 1969, he was drafted into the Army and was stationed at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. It was during his time in Washington DC that he met and married Pamela Hess.
Rich and Pam have two children, Suzette McGregor Loving and Nicholas McGregor. Rich was a devoted father who truly enjoyed being with his children.
Rich enjoyed traveling, golf and a good breakfast. In addition to his appreciation for high school football, Rich was an avid fan of college football – particularly Michigan State, Youngstown State and Ohio State. He followed recruiting classes, watched Spring practices, and he could often be spotted wearing hats and shirts from one of these teams. In July 2021, he started a scholarship endowment at Youngstown State University.
