I want to convey my condolences to the family of my truly precious friend, Dr. Robert Green. Dr. Green said so many wise things to me over the years and I will treasure them forever.

When you haven't seen someone is sometime, you tuck their joyous, crazy, intellectual, kind personality in the back of your mind. Then you hear they've passed away and a flood of wonderful memories arise. Bob was all of that amd more. I also knew Lila very well and they were joyously crazy together. He will be missed by all who knew him, by those who never knew him but reaped the benefit of his knowledge. May he rest in peace.

He was a very compassionate and caring person who was committed to ethnic diversity in medicine. He loved his wife dearly and was committed to his family. He loved the arts. He will be sorely...

I was deeply saddened to learn of Bob Green's passing. Dr. Green was on of the first contacts I made when I started employment at the Ann Arbor VA Medical Center in 1961. I came to know him as a dedicated physician and advocate for his patients. Bob was "One of the good guys" and will be sorely missed.
