–––––❖––––– FAYETTEVILLE — Gregory Alan Cherry passed away on February 4, 2019 in Mountain Home, Arkansas leaving us with a giant hole in our hearts, which will not soon be filled.

Many of us knew and loved

Greg. He never met a stranger he could not charm (or piss off) and could sell you swamp land in Florida and make you proud to own it. His life was full of many antics and adventures, all which created plenty of stories that were entertaining and sometimes unbelievable. Greg and his dad, Gene, went on countless fishing trips and always had rather far-fetched tales about their adventures. Fortunately for all of us, his step-mother, Judy, was available to sort out the truth. Greg loved traveling with his beautiful wife Melissa, and especially enjoyed time spent in the windy city of Chicago.

Greg’s greatest role in life was being a father to his daughters Mackenzie, Alexis, and Georgie. He supported them in all their activities and loved spending time with them on Beaver Lake where he docked the infamous “Buster Cherry.” Greg will be greatly missed by his siblings Janet, Paul and Lisa, and numerous nieces and nephews. A great loss will be felt by his dogs, Dick and Leo, who were always by his side, traveling around town with their heads hanging out the truck windows and greeting customers at his tractor dealership.

His illustrious career in sales started at a shoe store in the Northwest Arkansas Mall when he was a senior at Springdale High School in 1983. This turned into a profitable endeavor because several of his favorite customers would buy him beer which he would later sell out of the back of his car to friends. This was the beginning of a lifelong career in sales with Greg landing in the farming industry where he became an expert in the world of farm equipment. His crowning achievement was the purchase of the Kubota/New Holland dealership, Ozarks Farm and Lawn, in Mountain Home, Arkansas.

Greg was a true benefactor and was always available to help those in need. He loved Northwest Arkansas and supported the community in various ways. Most recently, Greg and Melissa became active in promoting TheatreSquared and its new facility in Fayetteville.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to TheatreSquared at theatre2.org/ give or to the Children’s Safety Center of Washington County at childrenssafetycenter.org.

Please join the Cherry family on Saturday, February 9 from 12 to 3 p.m., to laugh, tell stories and celebrate a life which was lived to its fullest. The celebration will be held at Banks Farm at 15760 Zimmer Road, Fayetteville, Arkansas. Condolences may be expressed to the family at www. mooresfuneralchapel.com.

–––––❖––––– PARIS — Dr. Laurence K. (Larry) Connelley, 76, of Paris, Arkansas, died February 5, 2019, at

M.D. Anderson in Houston,

Texas, with his wife, Linda, and his brother, Jim, by his side.

Dr. Larry Ken Connelley, a well-known Podiatrist in the

Little Rock area passed from his earthly home to his heavenly home February 5. Left to mourn his passing was his lovely wife, Linda Sue, of Paris, Arkansas, his two sons, Larry III and Rodney of Little Rock, his brother, Jim Connelley and wife Lisa of Spring, Texas, a beloved cousin, Brenda Collier and husband John of Conway. Also included are Linda’s son and family, Joseph Coots III and his wife, Kim, and grandsons, Chase and Connor of Ranger, Georgia.

Dr. Connelley is preceded in death by his parents, Larry and Maxine Parker Connelley; his aunt, Annie Parker Connelley and husband Rufus and his uncle, Clyde Connelley Jr. Dr. Connelley was born in Paris, Arkansas, a son of Larry and Maxine Parker Connelley, on May 15, 1942. A few years later he was gifted with a brother, Jim. He became a member of the First Christian Church in Paris. He attended Paris Public Schools and graduated from Paris High School in 1960. He also attended Phillips University in Enid, Oklahoma, and from there, went on to the Dr. William M. Scholl School of Podiatric Medicine in Chicago for his DPM degree, which he received in 1966. He opened his practice in Little Rock as the West Little Rock Foot Clinic where he practiced for many years. Upon retirement, he moved back to Paris.

After retirement, with the help of his wife, Linda, he was able to fulfill his dream of refurbishing the Connelley family’s earliest home in Paris. They returned it to its original state, even to the earliest color. They turned it into a beautiful home containing many historical artifacts. He and Linda enjoyed, as active, fun loving, involved people, several years in the Paris community, with a lot of travel to “bucket list” places. This proved “You can go home again.”

Larry was a consummate historian. He could regale you for hours telling about historical characters and events from the tri-state area — Arkansas, Missouri and Tennessee. He was able to answer many questions of genealogy of his Parker-Connelley heritage. He was a reader who shared books and knowledge readily, and with much enjoyment. He liked people.

Unfortunately, he developed a rare form of blood cancer in his later years. He was a fighter and intended to live as long as possible. With the help of Linda and the M.D. Anderson Cancer Clinic in Houston, Dr. Connelley was able to live years longer than predicted, having “Truly and courageously fought the good fight” of dealing with his cancer until the end. The family, friends and Paris Community have lost an intelligent, compassionate and caring man who was a blessing to all. He will be sorely missed.

Visitation will be from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m., Sunday, February 10, 2019, at the Roller Funeral Home in Paris. The funeral service will be held at 10 a.m., Monday, February 11, 2019, at the Roller Funeral Home Chapel in Paris with the Rev. H.C. Varnadore officiating. Burial will follow in Oakwood Cemetery in Paris under the direction of Roller Funeral Home in Paris. Online obituary and guestbook available at www.rollerfuneralhomes.com/ paris.

Pallbearers will be Austin Brewer, Joseph Coots III, Connor Coots, Ron Trusty, Kevin Berry and Terry Hartwell. Memorials may be made to Annie’s House of Hope Fund at First National Bank, 11 East Main St., Paris, Ark. 72855.
