As a long time employee of NFO, I remember Dick for all the sound advice and service to the National Farmers Organization over many years. I respected everything he did and especially appreciated the wonderful brick sculpture he donated for our new headquarters office in Ames, Iowa.

An exquisite and consummate gentleman, Dick Green (better known to many of his son Charlie's friends as Pitch, as in Pitch-Perfect) always had the tone, demeanor and presence to carry any room and any tune. His deep and confident voice was only eclipsed by his generous and welcoming smile, and both will be sorely missed by all who were lucky enough to be graced by either.
