Pop you are now in Heaven with Mrs G and both of my Parents. I remember the times Robert and I would sneak out and sneak back in. I was from Nederland I didn’t know my way around Port Acres. You Pop G and Mrs G were ALWAYS SO GOOD TOO ME. I loved y’all so much. Y’all and my Parents was close, LOL LOL Robert and I got away with so many things, so we thought LOL. I will never forget the time you and my Dad showed up in Louisiana to get us, oh my was I scared. You talk to us and my Dad talked to us, Pop G your the one that got me from being punished. You always had a good word to say. After that horrible car accident and we lost Robert. I know none of us has been the same, there is not one day I don’t think about him. Pop G you take care of my Parents and Mrs G and Robert. I will see all of you soon. Love You Pop G.

The day I met Sib Greer, he impressed me as an upstanding and moral man. Over the next years of contact, i realized my original assessment of Sib was correct. The world has now lost one of the very best.
