To the Greene Family,

Lots of great memories growing up with the Greene's, camping, snowmobiling, spending time at the garage, the Creme Stand and dinners at their house, you name it always fun.

Bob was a great leader at the historical society as well and will be missed by all. The history he shared with me over the years about growing up in Wilmington will always be cherished.

Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

We are so sad this morning to learn of Bob's passing. An icon in the Wilmington community and my life as a kid growing up there. I can't count the memories I have of times spent with the Greene's as a child. Joel and I were great friends and Bob and Evelyn probably got sick of seeing my face mixed in with there own kids at times, but they always welcomed me like part of the family. He was such a good man and he will be missed by so many. Our thoughts and prayers are with Evelyn, Bob, Sue, John, Peter and all the family. God bless you all.
