I regret your loss, Gary. Your dad was one of the first men I met and respected men when I started working in Conway at Cash Lumber Co. in 1971. I knew him only through business, and he was pleasant, helpful, and ethical in all our business dealings.
I know that you had a great respect for him. May God comfort you in the days to come

We look at the magnolia tree in our yard and remember the day you brought it to us, it was about 2 inches tall and was rooted from your tree. That tree is priceless, tall, strong and a reminder of you.
May God hold your loved ones in his strong hands and give them comfort.

Gary and family,
My deepest sympathies at the loss of Mr. Greene. That is how I knew him, Mr. Greene. It was such an honor to work with him at Winrock and then at the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute. His smile was contagious and stories unforgettable! He'll always be treasured...forever! I am better for knowing him. We all are!
Praying the Lord brings you all peace and comfort today and always. Much love, LaDonna.

Gary: Sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Never knew he was 7th Calvary nor under MacArthur. Would have loved to hear this stories of the 7th.
That was the Custer Calvary & their theme was Gary Owen. Bet he still knew every stanza. Wish I could have heard a few bars of it. Know I loved to hear MY Dad sing "When the Air Corps takes command."
Will be there in thought w/ you Saturday.
