Sincere condolences to the Greer family, I have what you might say is a cool little story about your dad/grandpa Greer. About a year ago my dad, Marvin took me on a road trip to where he was raised as a child. He took me to the old train tracks of Arcanum, where he said, he was neighbors with Dick. They were friends and road the same bus. The kids had a saying," do not get caught on the wrong side of the train track." I thought that was cute. it meant just remember where your home is at the end of the day. So, cute of boys. Dick never knew a stranger, always very happy. and to this day the old train beds are still there and the old railroad crossing sign where he lived.
