G. William Greer ’63, of Richmond, Va.; Oct. 13. During his years at Brown, he took up the banjo and played in a folk group in the Providence area. After Brown, he moved to Chicago and graduated from the Institute of Design with a master’s degree in industrial design. He initially worked as a designer before pivoting to a career in marketing and research. His projects included historic architectural restoration throughout the southeastern United States. In the late 1970s, he moved to Richmond and was active in many cultural, educational, and philanthropic organizations as a board member and/or volunteer. In addition to playing the banjo, he enjoyed playing piano and singing in his church choir. He also dabbled in the antiques business while in Richmond, spending many weekends in Edenton, N.C., searching for Tidewater antiques, which he would refurbish and sell. He is survived by four children and their spouses, nine grandchildren, two sisters, and a brother.
