So sorry for the whole family's loss. I remember the competitor Jim was playing basketball against him way back in the day & the friendly "proud father" ribbing we gave each other when Phill & Matt played against one another.I hadn't seen Jim in a long time but have been fortunate to see Matt on occasion & I'm sure Jim & Mary are as proud of him now as he ever because he's a grown up to be a great young man. RIP Jim

Mary,
I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers have been directed towards you and your family for quite some time now, even though I have not been around much lately. Having know Jim longer than anyone else except for my immediate family, I have many great memories of our times together. We grew up together. That is something you can never forget or replace. I am out of town this weekend, but will be back on Tuesday for the services. I hope you can come to a place of peace with Jim's passing. Your friend always.

So many awesome memories I don't know where to begin. Our boys Casey, Matt, Kyle & Robbie were in separable through out the early years. The boys played the sports, and we cheered like there was no tomorrow. Batters Box 3-4 times a week, weekly stops at the card shops ( you would load up on all the MJ cards) and always get your boys there Baseball cards Chipper Jones for Matt, and I think Robbie was the BIG HURT! All the Brewers games, hanging around the player parking to try and snatch a auto. Then the little surprise Kaitlin came into our lives, and the boys had another fan! Sweet Adorable Kaitlin. And the glue that held everyone together, Mary. I'm so sorry for your loss Mary, I know Jims in good hands and with all his friends & family who has preceded him. I'll always remember you sir! I know your in a better place. My condolences to the Greene Family ❤❤❤ U All ❤❤❤

While I did not know Mr. Greene personally, I felt I knew him through my conversations with his son Matt. By getting to know Matt I could tell that his father raised a fine young man and that is a great reflection on the father. So Mr. Green you can be proud of the life you had on this earth and the young man you have left in your stead sir. Mr heart and prayers go out to the entire Greene family.
