Richard Greer Obituary

Greer Richard W. "Dick" Greer succumbed after a long battle with C.O.P.D. at the age of 79 on January 30, 2016 at Riverside Memorial Hospital. Dick dedicated his life generously without limit to his family and created everlasting memories to be cherished forever. He fearlessly served his country in the U.S. Army as a paratrooper. He reveled in riding his motorcycle cross country known as the "Iron Pony". Dick loved being on the water with a fishing pole in hand almost as much as he adored his wife Reva of 60 years. They spent much time in Port Clinton on their porch overlooking Lake Erie with their friends. He is survived by his loving wife, Reva; daughter, Rhonda; son, Mark; three granddaughters; six great grandchildren; and seven brothers and sisters. Dick was preceded in death by his parents Marion and Mary, sister Peggy, brothers Marvin and Fred and his grandson Markie. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, February 3, 2016 at 3 p.m. with visitation one hour prior at the SCHOEDINGER HILLTOP CHAPEL, 3030 West Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43204. Celebrant Mark Dettmer officiating. Please visit www.Schoedinger.com to share a memory of Dick.
