We so appreciate that Mr. Green (and all his family,) was always willing to help his neighbors. He once brought his tractor down to pull a truck out of the mud that was stuck in our yard. He was so gracious and refused anything in return.

Mr. Green will be greatly missed. He or the boys were always there with a helping hand. We knew all was good when he was on a tractor waiving or working and not going well when he wasn't able to. Our condolences to his family and knowing he is in a good place now. Growing up with Wilbur and his leaving us too soon was also painful. Mom and Dad are with him now.

I will always remember Mr. Green driving my bus as a kid. He would always hand out a candy bar on the last day of school. He was a great member of the community, and I know he and Mrs. Green and Wilbur are all together in a better place. My condolences to the family, and to all the friends he made in his lifetime.

Theodore was always very kind to me. My thoughts and prayers go out to Theodore's family.
