Not sure what to say?

Dear Joan, Rachel, and David and family - I was so sorry to hear about Bob's (Cousin Bobby always to me!) passing. We got together many times as kids. I remember my first plane ride was to Bobby's bar mitzvah (he was just ahead my brother Mike). This was in the days of prop planes! It was very exciting and my first real grown-up (I thought) event, where I recall the party, learning about doing "The Twist" and hearing "Red Sails in the Sunset" and even eating pizza for the very first time...

Joan and Family,
I was very sorry to here about Dr. Green. He was an excellent physician. His Healthcare changed my life. I would see him on TV at Pirate games. This year they acknowledged him and showed him sitting in upper box area. I smiled. Contributing to St.Jude to his fund

Bob was a classmate of mine from Bennett High School in Buffalo, NY. One of the nicest human beings I have ever known. Always smiling; always positive and always friendly. We shared a lot of the same teachers back then, and both had an interest in biology/medicine. I reconnected with him in the 90s when I was lecturing in Pittsburgh and recall having dinner with him at a fine Italian restaurant on a hill overlooking downtown Pittsburgh and the rivers. Also got to see him at Bennett High...

My condolences to the Green family. Rob was such a wonderful person. I enjoyed our time together playing in the Basements and the time we spent teaching Brian to appreciate the Beatles. He was a warm and caring person and I always admired his drive and enthusiasm for everything he cared about whether it was music, baseball, medicine or his friends. When you entered Rob Green's world you were all in. I consider an honor to have known him and share the stage with him. Rest In Peace my good...

I have known Rob'Sonny, 'Pumpsie' since we went to grade school. He was one of my schoolmates that I felt very close with. We reconnected during our 50th Bennett H.S. reunion. He generously invited me to many Pirates games. His treat. Last time I saw Bob was after a game and he invited me to see his memorabilia collection. He was 1 of a kind. I will miss him.

I was Bob's fraternity roommate sophomore year. A great guy and fun to be with a true Pirates fan and none too many of them! I live near Bradenton FL and even met him there for Pirates spring training. The world is a little less kind now.

We are saddened by the passing of Dr. Robert Green. Please accept our heartfelt condolences on your loss. Dr. Green and your family will be in our prayers.

Sincerely,
Donna & Zen Piotrowski

A wonderful person and a wonderful friend with memories dating back 50 years to Rochester with shared experiences that include many meals at off campus diners, visiting Buffalo, hitchhiking to Cleveland, going to Pirates camp in Bradenton and reunions among college friends in Delaware and upstate N.Y. (see pic). Condolences to the family on a great loss.

Dr. Green has been in my life since I was 8-yrs-old. He was the best pediatrician and later PCP; and then one of my best friends. I love him & miss him not being in this world. Rob was always a beautiful soul & a beautiful person. My sincere condolences to his beautiful wife, Joan & his wonderful children. God bless the Green family.
