With sadness I inform you of the passing from this life of our littermate Greer Guinn. Greer’s flickering flame went dark earlier this week. While time and distance have been barriers, our friendship remains firmly rooted in childhood and teenaged memories. Greer and his father, Pete, took my dad and me to my very first Arkansas Razorbacks football game in Little Rock in the fall of 1960. It was a less than memorable game in that the Hogs won 3-0. Not much to cheer about except for the excitement of two little 8 year old boys sharing a Razorbacks victory at War Memorial Stadium in the company of their dads. Of course Greer and I shared many other moments in life creating fond memories, but that game and the laughter we shared will forever be held in my heart.
I know all of you will join me in holding Greer’s family close in thought and prayer.
Greer knocked on Heaven’s door and it was opened to him . . .
Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more . . .
Tears in heaven
