Finley R. Greene Jr.

To Finley's Family,

I had the privilege of working with Finley, sharing laughs with Finley, being touched by his kind demeanor and influenced by his professionalism. He lifted
everyone around him to a higher level. Not a day went by with an “Upwards and Onwards” once or twice. A wonderful person to have cross your path in life.
My sincere condolences.

Dear Varnie, Robbie and Cutler:

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. What a wonderful man he was. When I saw him at events, he would always smiled and asked how I was.

I miss him terribly. Take care.

To Finley's Family..
I was so saddened to know that Finley is no longer with us. I can honestly say that he was one of the best, if not the best, supervisors that I have had the privilege to work for and with.

My dad, Doc Davenport, and Bob Greene were great friends going back to the 50's.

My wife (Mary) and my mother (Jo and now 88 yrs old) offer our condolences. I...
