Mr Greenmun has been neighbor to our farm longer than I've been alive. He was always cheerful and very pleasant. We will miss our kind and wonderful neighbor.

My name is Barbara Beehm and I was deeply saddened to read of Mr Greenmun's passing. I worked for Visiosn Federal Credit Union for 26 years where Mr Greenmun was one of my favorite people to help with transactions. He was a kind, gentle and friendly man. I still have a letter or two that he wrote to me telling me of one of his many trips. Even after I retired from the Credit Union, I still heard from him.
My heart goes out to you, his family.
Sincerely, Barbara Beehm

We lived down the street from the Greenmun's farm and I will always remember Mr. Greenmun as a kind and generous man. He gave me my first job when I was a boy helping with his Christmas tree business. He also let us keep our horses on his land as long as we kept up the fences. My brothers and I used to fish the crick along there and caught everything from rock bass to suckers, creek chubs and rainbow trout. May God be kind to him and to his family.
