Not sure what to say?

Bill....It is hard to believe you have been gone this long! I remember so many things and days like they just happened! You made such a difference in so many peoples lives....you would never believe it! To this day....you still come up at least one time per week in some sort of conversation that I have! I love you for all time....miss you for all time....and I hope you and my Dad are up there cutting up laughing at all of us!

Some people walk into our lives,leave footprints on our hearts and our lives are never the same...Bill was a very important person in my life and a great influence...he was like a father to me. I love him and miss him dearly...

william harvey greer,sr was my grandaddy and I love him with all of my heart. Every day I think about him and how he was always so helpful. I remember him watching me and my sisters swinging and him sitting on the porch drinking sweet tea.He was someone I knew I could always talk to. He helped anyone who asked for help icluding me. I was always wanting him to watch me climb a tree, swing ,or even just watch me play a game of cards. I remember him very well,but I still wish I could have seen...

I very much enjoyed working with Bill and will greatly miss him.

I didn't hear about his passing in time. I worked with Bill and he was wonderful to me and understood many times my needs. He will be missed. He always understood those who worked for him.

I am so sorry for your loss. But, the time that I was ever in the presence of this man was an honor. He was not only wise but so funny. Every time I called or was even in the same room with him he had me laughing. & I know he was a great grandaddy to his grand-children. Never had he let down anyone of them. It was an honor just being in the same room with him. & no matter where he was his personality lit the room up & I know that he is also happy in the place he now helps light up.

To all our family and those who loved Bill that I may not have met, a special place is in my heart. On this earth Bill was my heartbeat, our love was deep and rooted in our love for the Lord and each other and family. Before he went to Vietnam, we could finish each others sentences. I lost some of that closeness when he first came back from the war. He still knew me but I was not able to know him as well. The years of time replaced this closeness and I had but to think of something I...

Mr. Greer was a great man. It pains me to see him pass, and I know the world is a better place because of his existence. Mr Greer would always give me advise when I was younger which helped to to grow up at a time when I really needed to. Mr. Greer had a loving heart and will deeply be missed. The world would be a better place with more men like Mr. Greer. God Bless You and your Family.
