Longtime West End resident Kelly Gregory and his wife, Kim, lost their cedar home to fire last week.
No one was inside the home at 24563 state Highway 112 when the fire began in the area of the chimney late Thursday morning, Fire District 5 Chief Trish Hutson said Friday.
No injuries
Gregory, his wife, their dog and cats, and two horses that were in a corral at a barn some 50 to 100 feet west of the home were not injured.
Kelly Gregory is the Clallam Bay High School boys basketball coach.
Kim Gregory is a school secretary currently on medical leave, Hutson said.
The couple, who have grown children, lost all their possessions, “pictures, memories, things that your kids had made through the years growing up, all those types of things,” Hutson said.
Kelly Gregory was doing his best to adjust late Friday afternoon.
“The hardest day is over with,” he said.
“The second one ain’t real easy, either, but I’m doing all right.”
