He had 35 grandchildren, and 21 great-grandchildren who loved him so, and will miss his fun name, "Paul Arnold, Syrus E. Cherry, Franklin Dewitt Greer or you can call me Phil" and his smile, story telling and love. We will all miss combing his hair and massaging his feet. He was a postal worker, accountant, construction worker, and loved selling Nap Shoes, vacuum cleaners, and could sell Eskimos freezers. He became a rock hound, and loved pretty rocks and petrified wood all around him. Gardening and keeping his yard and home beautiful was a must.
