John Marcus Greer

Mark:
As I said at the service , we are so blessed to have such great parents.I also mentioned that your father's " memorial" service was one of the finest I have ever attended.
I have the pamphlet pinned to my wall , reminding me of the real definition of success..something your father certainly achieved.
All our love from the Burkes to the Greers...

Sorry to here the news about your dad. My thoughts have been with y'all. Little League is always a grand experience if a Greer is involved......a tradition, a legacy.

If everything is bigger and better in Texas, John sure was a great example of this. He left us with a bigger than life persona by which to remember him, and not a person who met him went away without a story to repeat for years to come.

I spent Thursday thinking about all of you, and I am sorry not to have been able to make it into town to be with you. Be assured that John’s caring ways, great stories...

Dear Greer family, I was sadden to hear of your loss.Mr. Greer was very proud of all of his grandchildren and it showed.They meant the world to him. Mr. Greer, Thanks for all the wonderful talks under the apple tree in Colorado.May your soul rest in peace.You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this hard time.God Bless, Carol Kemper

Dear Gerry and the entire Greer Family,

Like my father, John left this world way too young. He was such a wonderful man who was always available with a loving hug and wise counsel. What a fantastic story teller, with amazing wit and humor!! I loved him so and will miss him much. I know that God now welcomes his faithful servant into his new heavenly home, where he will see his Dad/Mom, my Dad and so many others. I just wish we had a little more time to enjoy him here on earth!...

Dear Gerry, It seems ironic that so many nice people are sending emails to the John Greer Guest Book because John didn't believe he needed a computer. I will temendously miss being with him each Wednesday for our regular tennis game but I will always remember his clever and humorous remarks that never got old although I had heard them a hundred times before. Tennis will never be as much fun without John on the court.

Dear Mrs. Greer, Marc and the entire Greer family:

The memorial service was perfect and was an unforgettable way to remember a truly great man. I will never forget the kindness Mr. Greer (and you Mrs. Greer) showed to this Galveston boy when I would visit Houston back when Marc and I were at U.T. together.Really,it was very important in making this BOI boy feel at home in the big city.I guess Mr. Greer knew that we Galveston boys always look out for each other.

Dear Greers,

I was very sad today to hear of John'a passing. I, like so many of my friends have such fond memories of time spent with the Greer family. Those times were always laced with humor. It was John Greer, I believe, who was the seed for all the fun and good humor for which the Greer family is famous. From the sadness I felt upon hearing the news, I tansitioned to laughter as I recalled the loving teasing between Mr Greer and his sons. My memories of him will last...

Greer Family:
I am so saddened to hear of "Papa Greer's" passing. The memories that I have riding the bus with Sam downtown to the "office" and the training (guidance) that we both recieved from Mr. Greer will always have a special place in my life. I can remember him today just like it was yesterday. His voice will always be with me. The booming voice of "Sam, David, come here..." is something that brings nothing but smiles. The bond that our families created is something that can...
