GREENE COUNTY — The man who has served as Greene County’s Santa for years was diagnosed with ALS, and dozens of people came together to celebrate him.
Since 1978, Greg Paxson has greeted children across the county for Christmas. Last year he was diagnosed with ALS and is no longer able to do what he’s loved for so long.
