To the family of Donald Greene. I have known your father for the last 10 years. He was an election judge for Port Barrington. I got to see him every 6 months when he came into Nunda Township to pick up and drop off the election supplies. I knew your father always smiling, and even though he had not seen me in 6 months, he always had a hug and a smile for me. Please remember that everyone who knew him will miss him deeply, as he was truly involved in his community and enjoyed it.
