Hey, Ants, Sorry I missed your Birthday, but you know I had some health issues. Not working anymore, miss our little talks when we were the first in at work. Seems like everyone is getting sick, mostly with Cancer, Pam, Maureen, Bob Gaffney, Janice, Sherry, and me. I spent a month in Hyper Baric Chamber before my Surgery. Doing better, slowly, but getting there. Wish you were here, miss you Pal. JACK

Hey Anth,
Today is your Birthday, hope they are celebrating it with you. Haven't talked to anybody lately, but you know I've had some health issues
I'm trying to overcome. Miss you PAL,
hope you are in a greater place.

Hey Anthony,
I cannot believe it's almost a year and a half since you are gone.
Seems like yesterday you and I were at Dimitri's parking lot talking about the Bull of the day.

So many people miss you, you were such a gentle man. I keep thinking I see you, but it's just someone who resembles you.
I hope you are in a better place than we are and that you are able to have a cold one and a pack of smokes.
Al's sister and niece died Christmas Eve and January 3rd, maybe
you might run into each other. His sister Ruth had the same Chemo Dr. as Miss Ellie.
I miss you buddy. If that's selfish,
so be it. Hope we all meet again someday. Luv Ya Pal, JACK

Uncle Tony,
Last Saturday, I took the kids to see Disney on Ice.
It was the very first time I ever drove myself to Boston.
You were the only one I use to call to take me to the airport, Boston, or anywhere that had no parking. lol.
I use to call viking and ask for only Anthony to pick me up.
You were always there early.
The kids would love to see you, and thought that you owned the cab company.
You use to make us laugh the whole way to our destination.
I loved our cab rides from you.
But, this time you wernt there!!!! I would never drive to Boston, ever, especially with the kids. This time I did.
Somehow, taking a cab anywhere just would not be the same.
Bill and I spent the whole time heading into town, talking about you.
I heard some stories I never heard before, and it made us both smile. You were by far the funniest guy I knew.
I miss you Uncle, and hope your time in heaven is warm and safe.

May God bless you always!!!
Love you

Uncle Tony is home in heaven!!!
He is gone, but never will he be forgotten. A new year is here now, and we should all know that Uncle is safe now! I am so sure that he is proud of his family for the strength that everyone has shown.
Here is a poem, called going to heaven. I felt comfort in it, and wanted to share it with you.
I LOVE YOU AUNTY EL.......and will always be here for you!!!
************************************************
Release me, let me go I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourselves to me with tears, just be happy that we had some years. I gave you my love, you can only guess how much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, but now it's time I traveled on alone. Do grieve a while for me if you must then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a while that we must part, so keep our memories within your hearts. I won't be far away, for life goes on. so if you need me call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me I'll be near, and if you listen with your heart you will hear, All of my love around so soft and dear. And then when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say Welcome Home

Do not stand at my grave and weep.I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousands winds that blow. I am the diamond on the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autum rain. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of the quiet birds circling in flight, I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there I did not Die......

My mother has asked me to post this letter from a dear friend of my father his name is Jack and they worked together for years and Jack was very fond of my Dad....Dear Eleanor and family, Anthony was a good friend of ours and he will be greatly missed.I Jack have worked with him early mornings for some fifteen more of less years.I got to know his family who he talked about all the time,his boys and daugher and grandchildren. We all know about Sadie and Sophie and remember their birth and how they were dressed at Easter.He was so proud of all of you and could not wait to get to NH for family get togthers on Holidays and such. I worked many Holidays so he could be with you,he was always so grateful.I never really heard him say a bad thing about anybody except for our Boss who everybody knows is not a nice person. He was very hard on Anthony. We are very sorry for your loss,he is also a loss to us. Memories of love and friendship are treasures to carry with you always.Hold onto your memeories, and let them guide during this time of saddness.Memories are the legacy of love. Our hearts, and love andconsolation go out to all of you during this horrible time of sadness. Jack Falzarano & Al williams...

My heart goes out to the entire Green family. Tony was truly an awesome guy. All of us living on Cottage Hill during the 70s was really special. Tony & Eleanor always made me feel welcome when I went over their place to hang out with Bill & Tommy. I never did go with all of you on the many camping trips. I now know that I missed out on getting to know you alot better.
Because the stories that your sons and the other guys would tell were awesome. You definitely had a very good sense of humour. The world will be a much sadder place without you.

GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU

Tracy (Green) Kirk

September 18, 2006

To all who loved Uncle Tony, Here is a poem that reminds me how special life is, and how special Uncle was to everyone. It goes like this......



To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too... that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Today I bought some wood to put the roof on my chicken coop. One of the last conversations I had with my Dad was how to do it. We came back from a wonderful breakfast with Sophie and Sadie, we talked about doing some body work on his car then we went out and looked at the chickens, he gave me some pointers about the roof. The twins were so excited to see him, yelling Papa, Papa,Papa and laughing at him. At the restaraunt after we were done eating we were getting up to leave,Tony was first and was ahead of us. Sadie jumped out of her seat without saying anything and ran up to Papa,who was walking away and grabbed his hand. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. They walked hand in hand across the parking lot, this wounded dying old grizzly bear of a man and this shy little peanut of a girl. He said he was sorry to her for not being able to pick her up and put her in her seat. The whole morning had to have been a gift from God. He died 3 days later. Rest in Peace Dad. Thank you all for your love and support. Thanks Tracy. Auntie Linda, you are an amazing woman.

I am so sorry to hear about this tragedy Auntie Elean, Denise, Billy and Tommy. I am so shocked at such a sudden loss! It has been a while since I saw you all, and that I regret the most.

Uncle Tony was always great to me. I will never forget the time he taught me how to fish over at the bridge in Winthrop. I remember how he got us into camping and tried to teach us all how to live life on the edge whenever possible. He always knew how to make you laugh!! I remember going camping with all the guys at Rumney's Baker River a lot throughout my teens. I always looked forward to this because I knew he was going to be there. He made those trips fun and has always been the topic of many stories that my dad and I reminisce about. I was just telling my kids and my wife about him a couple of weeks ago when we went camping. We all had a good laugh as I described some of his funny antics that I remebered dearly. He was always up to something. I think this is the only time in my life that tears are running down my face uncontrolably when I've been thinking of him. I am sorry that I am being a bit sensitive but that is a Green trait afterall. We will miss your laughs, your funny curled up lip when you grinned sarcastically back at us when you thought we were crazy, your kindness, your sincerity to the one's you loved and your unending sense of humor. I am so sorry that I have not seen you in a long while but life has fast forwarded a bit too quickly lately. I always knew you were there but for some reason I lost my way to your door. I am so sorry for that! I just cannot believe you are gone and that I will never have the opportunity to see you again. How sad it is to realize that fact now, when it is too late! Your legacy will live on with me and my family and I promise I will never stop telling those heart felt stories about you to my kids as they grow up. I hope you rest easy now and look down on your family with pride. You will be greatly missed. Joe Green

Vicki Green

September 3, 2006

Dear Tony,

words cannot describe how sad and bewildered I am. I still can't believe your gone from our lives. You were truly loved by everyone around you, your wife, your children, your grandchildren, your friends. Billy adored you and when I say he talked of you every day, that is no exageration. I remember once when you walked out of a wedding right in the middle and didn't say anything to anyone, just left cause you'd had enough, my husband turned to me and said, "my dad is the coolest 'bleep'ing person there is". He loved that about you. That you did your own thing and didn't care what anyone thought, even though everyone who truly knew you, knew that you treasured your family above all. His happiest moments are when he is telling me of his hunting trips with you and his uncles.

You made him pround and I for one am honored and proud to carry the Green name and to have been accepted by you into the family and loved by you.

I truly am going to miss you drinking all my Grey Goose and throwing your cigarette butts in my pool. :)

You were and are 'one of a kind'.

I will miss you forever.

Your loving daughter-in-law, Vicki

Aunty Eleanor, Denise, Billy, and Tommy.....

I cannot tell you how deeply sorry I am for the loss of our Uncle Tony. I can only tell you all that I love you very much, and am starting to say it more often now.

I keep reminiscing with Bill about all the good old times we all had together. Camping, or just hanging out. What ever the case, when we were all together as a family, it was always fun, and never dull with Uncle around. Bill was telling me that when we were in our teen years, (well, we all know how badly I wanted to have Bill Kirk as my boyfriend), Well, Uncle would tell him to stay away from me. He would say, "Kirky, you go near my niece, and I'll have to kill ya", . Well, Bill took him very serious, as you all know. I found this out years later, and of course said to Uncle, "why did you do that to me"?. And he chuckled and said, because no one is good enough for my niece. Not knowing at the time, that he did us both a huge favor., because had I been with Bill back then, we would have never been together now, so I kind of owe it all to Uncle. I still remember that, and wont forget him saying that to me. It made me feel special to him.

I use to love hanging out over the Green house., weather it was just sitting around watching Rodney Dangerfeilds comedy hour, or just sitting around chatting away.

I remember one time, Denise and I were going out somewhere, and I asked Uncle to baby-sit Kenny for me for a couple hours. I never trusted many people with my children, but my mother once told me that, Tony was the only one she would ever trust to take us kids to the beach. And if any of you know my mother, she is petrified of the water. Anyway, that stuck with me, and I felt safe for Kenny. Well, a few hours go by, and I return to pick up Kenny, now mind you, he is about two years old. I asked him, Kenny, how was your day with Uncle Tony. In return he said., " oh mommy, it was the best day ever, Uncle Tony let me watch Freddie Kruger and Friday the 13th over and over". I was like, um Uncle, I dont let him watch horror flicks, he will have nightmares. Uncle just laughed, and said, nightmares!!!!, huh, that kid knew every word to those movies, and he said his grandfather lets him watch them all the time. ha, ha. Needless to say, I had a long talk with PaPa went I got home as well. lol. I just always remember that one, and Kenny mentions it to me too, I cant believe he remembers it so well.

Uncle Tony, I will truly miss you, and will miss you deeply at family outings. I was always looking forward to sitting with you, you made me laugh so much!! You are without a doubt the funniest of all the brothers. I will watch out for Aunty, and help with whatever anyone needs to get by without you. It is going to be long, hard journey. But, on a good note, you are blessed as well. You have a wonderful family that is praying for you daily, and we are still going to make you very proud of all of us. Your home in heaven now, and at great peace! YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, AND ALWAYS IN MY HEART!!!!!

Love always, Tracy and Bill
