In the measured quiet of early autumn, Harry P.H. Greer took a step toward closing a chapter that had stretched over a quarter of a century. On October 1, 2025, through his attorney Sharon E. Remis of Gillespie, Hetlage & Coughlin, L.L.C., he filed a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, seeking to end his marriage to April R. Greer. The two were married on February 5, 2000, in Carthage, Missouri—a union rooted in Jasper County and weathered by distance and time.
Though their official separation came in June 2025, Harry and April had lived apart for four years, their lives already unwoven long before this filing. From their marriage came two daughters, Olivia and Lillian, now adults, both standing beyond the need for custody arrangements or parental designations. There are no questions of pregnancy, no urgent matters of maintenance or support—only the acknowledgment that the bond that once held has quietly loosened.
Both Harry and April, each long settled in Missouri, remain employed and capable of self-support. Their petition reflects a calm resolve: to divide their shared property and debts equitably, and to part without hostility. There is no bitterness in the language of the filing—only the weary understanding that some ties, though once steadfast, have run their course. What remains now is for the court to affirm what the years have already made clear—that the Greers’ marriage has reached its quiet and inevitable end.
