James Walter Green

Just wanted to say Jann and I still think about J. Walter, and just a few weeks ago drove through his old neighborhood, remembering he told us about the street that goes overboard with Christmas lights: and sure enough they still out on a good show. He was running coverage in Newport when we first met, and we continue to appreciate what he brought to our lives!

Dear Green family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your husband/dad/grandpa. My family is all over the place now in terms of location, and the information just reached me. Our dad, Warren J. McCabe, who retired a year before yours, spoke fondly of Mr. Green and praised his skills to the roof. Our dad died quietly in May of 2007. In sympathy,
Warren's wife, Connie, and daughters Justine, Paula, and Maryann

J. Walter will remain a vivid part of AP history -- a skilled and persistent photographer, a talented editor and manager, mentor to a generation of photojournalists. He was a joy to work with when I was the AP bureau chief in Boston and a valued friend for many years afterward. He will be much missed. Jennie, Betsy joins me in extending deepest condolences.

Always quick with a smile and a great story, J. Walter Green was one of my earliest role models and mentors. He was a good friend to so many of us, my own father included. Walter will be deeply missed by all of us whole lives he touched.

What a wonderful full life he led! A true example of living life to its fullest. I will miss him and his wonderfully detailed stories!

Please accept our condolences. J.Walter was a friend and colleague during his days at AP. I have many fond memories of him

J.Walter taught me so much about sailing photography. The summer of '83, covering the America's Cup in Newport, is filled with wonderful memories of working with him.

A finer friend I will never find. Fifty-seven years and counting.
