Bob never retired from his lifelong profession as a successful fruit grower since 1945. He had 100 acres of orchards where he grew mainly apples and peaches. A large amount of fruit was sold wholesale, but Bob and his wife, Joan, attended the Lewisburg Farmers Market and Saturday morning curb market in Shamokin for all of their married life.

Bob married Joan Ann Bycoskie on June 20, 1959, in Sunbury. They were happily married for 58 years.

Bob was preceded in death by a brother and a sister, James Green and Gale (Green) Sevison.

In addition to Bob's wife, he is survived by a daughter and two sons, Julie A. (Green) Hricko, and her husband, Michael J., of Nicholson, Robert D. Green and his wife, Yook-Fung Green, of Cleveland, Ohio, and John C. Green and his wife, Melody, of Cincinnati, Ohio; seven grandchildren, Robert J., Elda M. and Rose V. Hricko, Georgia R., Lily E., Marabelle and Frances Green.

You and Bob have been wonderful to our family over the years and we want you to think of us as extended family, ready to do or help as you may need.
All of us will dearly miss Bob's kind gentle spirit and easygoing disposition.
