Dear Martha and family,
We are sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. Take care and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

AS a kid,I spent much time in the Greene household,so I got to know Max,Donald,Tommy and Miriam, as well as their parents.Max was always a friendly,outgoing,and hard working physical fitness "bug".

To Mrs. Green and Family,
We will miss seeing his BRIGHT SMILE but will forever have him in our Hearts.. Thoughts and Prayers are with you and your Family in your time of sorrow.. Just knowing now that he is now a True ANGEL, we will forever be looked after.

I have fond memories of The Rev. Max Greene and Flora Greene and their family. I was a member of Ruckersville Baptist Church when Rev. Greene came as our pastor. His son, Danny, and I are the same age and we both attended William Monroe High School. I enjoyed being with the Greene family at church and their home. They were a loving family. Rev. Greene performed the wedding ceremony for my husband and myself. He insisted on an informal counseling session beforehand and had some words of...

Uncle Max was remarkable man. An inspiration to anyone who ever met him.

Rick and I both wish to extend our condolences to his family.

How fortunate and how blessed I am to have known the Greene family. Rev. Greene became my pastor at Ruckersville Baptist Church when I was just beginning high school.

In the winters they took us roller-skating and sledding in the snow. William Monroe High School had just begun a football program and Rev. Greene was a...

Martha and family I am sorry to hear of your loss.You all are in my prayers.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I so remember going to his house in Ruckersville, and doing " The hokey Pokey". Loved this man, he just made you feel very special, almost like you were the only one. Later after I grew up, He married my husband and myself in Ruckersville at my grandparents front yard. {Elizabeth and Winfred Wyant} My grandfather passed away with alzheimers 2 years ago. Its very hurtful to us here on earth, but just the KNOWING that both men are with the Lord , the peace...

My thoughts and prayers are with the Greene family at this time of grief. I will always remember Reverend Greene as the first pastor that I ever had as a child and then later in my teen years, on the sidelines of EVERY Fluvanna County High School football game. He was an inspiration to many and he will be sorely missed.
