My deepest sympathies to the Green family on the passing of Bob. He was a dynamic part of the staff at Jonas Salk Middle School when I taught with him during the 70's to 90's. He organized the annual gym shows and his main focus was always "the kids." We all were ready for his bus call announcements every day and how he kept everything organized in the PE department. I hope he and Fran had wonderful retirement years together. Fondly, Libby Stelevich--Home Ec teacher JSMS/ retired 2002

I am sorry to hear of Mr. Green's passing. I am sending my condolences to the entire Green family. I had Mr. Green for Phys. Ed. at Salk School in 6th grade. I was also a part of his soccer team for my 7th and 8th grade years. He basically recruited me for soccer from PE class. We were playing and he asked me if I had tried out for the team. I told him that I didn't know how to play soccer and he turned to me with that big, infectious smile that he had and said, "I want you to try out for the team next year!" So, I did and he put me on the team for the next 2 years. He was a kind, gentle man to work with middle school girls. He will be dearly missed by all of the lives that he had touched in Salk School. Rest in peace, Mr. Green, and thank you for pushing me to join soccer.

Sincerely,

I am sorry for your loss. My condolences to the entire Green family. Mr. Green was my 6th grade Phys. Ed. teacher at Salk School who then recruited me to play soccer in 7th and 8th grade. I remember playing soccer in PE class and he asked me if I tried out for the team. I told him that I didn't know how to play soccer and he turned around and said, "I want you to try out for the team next year!" with his big infectious smile that he had. So, I tried out and made the team in 7th and 8th grades. He was a wonderful man with a big heart to work with middle school girls! I will miss him dearly. RIP Mr. Green.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.

Mr. Green was the penultimate teacher. He made every child feel loved and valued, no matter where they came from. He will be deeply missed. Blessings on his entire family.

I wish you healing but also the knowledge that Mr. Green was a guiding light in so many lives. He was my PE teacher at Salk oh sooo many years ago and his gentle kindness has always stayed with me. Thank you for sharing him. May he rest in peace and may you have the peace of knowing his lessons continue. God Bless.
