DENNIS GREENE Obituary

GREENE, Dennis A retired attorney and cherished family man, passed away in his sleep on August 14, at the age of 80. Dennis is survived by his loving wife Eileen, daughters Alex and Beth, and brother Steve and his wife Sylvia. Born in New York and raised in Dartmouth and New Bedford MA, Dennis was a respected partner at Mintz Levin, where he practiced corporate law for more than 40 years. He earned an undergraduate degree from Lafayette College, followed by both an MBA and law degree from Boston University. Dennis was a gifted lawyer and writer, thoughtful, funny and always ready to share a story or three. An eagle scout and avid fan of speculative fiction, Dennis was known for his unwavering kindness and loyalty. He was a pillar in both his professional and personal circles. Dennis resided in Wellesley for 45 years, where he was an active member of Nehoiden Golf Club and served for a time as president of the Men's Club. In addition to daily golf, Dennis enjoyed a fulfilling retirement of intellectual curiosity through teaching and learning in classes at Bolli. He loved his two daughters more than anything and was a beloved father and husband, always there to support his family. He is remembered fondly by friends and family for his generosity and goodness and for his never-ending storytelling. Dennis's unexpected passing leaves a profound void in the hearts of those who were touched by his life. A shiva will be held at the family's home on Monday, August 19, 2024 from 7:00-9:00pm and a Memorial Service will be held at a later date, with details to follow.

On behalf of Pi Lambda Phi, please accept our sincere condolences on Dennis´ passing. Hopefully, everyone who loves him could be together to celebrate his life and share fond memories of him.

I've updated our records so that we will remember Dennis again when our fraternity convenes for our annual gathering next summer in what we call our "Chapter Eternal Remembrance Ceremony." The names of brothers who have passed are read, candles are lit in their memory, somber fraternal prayers are recited, and beautiful songs are sung. It's our way of noting that although they are no longer with us in body, they are remembered.

Brother Mine Forever,
Kris Reiber

P.S. The included Coat of Arms with the middle band blacked out honors Dennnis' transition to the Chapter Eternal.

Deepest condolences to Dennis' family. Dennis and Steve and their parents were wonderful neighbors in the seventies on Clarendon Street near Buttonwood Park in New Bedford. Last saw Dennis and Steve after their golf round with Barbara Young just two weeks ago in Dartmouth. Enjoyed their well told stories about growing up in Dartmouth and New Bedford. Great memories.

My heartfelt condolences to his family. Our friendship reverts from our New Bedford days and basically growing up together.
He was a basketball teammate of
mine when we won the New England championship in the YMCA league representing the local Jewish Community Center.
May he RIP and to his family and loved ones-stay strong and cherish the memories all have shared....

Knew Dennis from NB/Dartmouth high school days. Also I think I reconnected he and Eileen prior to their wedding. RIP

My condolences to his family. I'm an old friend from back in the New Bedford Dartmouth days. I'd occasionally run him at Casey's in Natick. Being in his company was always a pleasure. RIP Dennis...
