Carl Allen Green passed away Monday, December 12, 2022 at Kobacher House in Columbus, OH after a 1 1/2 year battle with pancreatic cancer. Carl graduated from Woodward High School and worked as a Tool and Die Maker at Henzler Manufacturing for 12 years and 30 years at Chrysler Jeep Corp. Carl was quite active in the Toledo Roadrunners Club - he racked up over 35,000 running miles. Carl participated in running road races, biking, cross county ski events, biathalons, triathlons, well as hiking in many of the U.S. National Parks. He was extremely proud of hiking up many 10,000+ Western peaks. He was a 40-year member of Torio's Health Club, where he developed a wonderful friendship with his mentor, Dick Torio, along with many of the club members. It was admirable how Carl continued with his endurance and strength exercise routines between his chemo sessions - always the health enthusiast. Carl and his wife moved, in retirement, to the Columbus area to spend more time with their 'kids'. Carl is survived by his wife of 50 years, Janice Kosinski Green; his #2 love, his daughter, Jessica Green Tack and his 'like a son, Joseph Tack; his #3 love, his granddaughter, Lourdon Grace Tack; as well as #1 grandsons, Arthur John (AJ) Tack, Benjamin Thomas Tack, and Gustav Allen Tack; his two brothers, John (Corinne) Green, Douglas (Lauri) Green; sister, Cheryl Davis Selby. Sandra (Ray) Manion, John (Maggie Salinas) Kosinski, Dr. Susan (Dr. Robert) MacArthur, Kevin (Joy) Kosinski, Joyce (Geoffrey) Aughenbaugh, Andrea (James) Colvin, as well as many nieces, nephews, as well as great nieces and nephews - he loved them ALL. He was preceded by his loving parents, Emmett and Helen (Lourdon) Green; uncle/'brother', Thomas Green, Rose and Arthur Kosinski, Jerry Davis, and Chuck Selby. Carl treasured his relationships and all the memories he experienced with his many cousins on the Green, Lourdon, and Demoe sides of the families. He was loved for his honesty, determination, patriotism, patience, craftsmanship, resilience... He was a genuinely GOOD man! He will be missed by SO many. In lieu of flowers, a fund will be set up with the Project Purple organization in his name. Carl donated his eyes to the Ohio Eye Bank, as well as his body to OSU Anatomical Program. A Celebration of Carl's Life will be held in the early Spring in Columbus. If interested in attending, please email 1janina@bex.net and family will provide specifics.
