Army Spec. Fred Greene's family received visitors following private services Tuesday afternoon at a funeral home chapel in the tiny northeast Tennessee town.
The 29-year-old soldier will be buried Wednesday in the cemetery of the small Baptist church he had attended. Greene's survivors include his wife, two daughters and his parents.
Specialist Frederick Greene, 29, of Mountain City, Tenn., went by "Freddie" and was active at Baker's Gap Baptist Church while he was growing up, said Glenn Arney, the church's former superintendent and a former co-worker of Greene's. "I went to church with him, knew him all of his life. He was one of the finest boys you ever saw," Arney said.
