Curtis Green Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Nov. 5 to Nov. 6, 2002.
Curtis Harlan Green Passed away peacefully on November 3, at age 77. Preceded in death by his parents, Richard and Hazel Green. Curt will be dearly missed by his wife of 55 years, Marjorie Lee Green; his children, Holly (Gary) Martini, Jill (Bob) Kaczke, Shelley (John) Stilbert, Leslie (Terry) Volbert; his grandchildren, Jason (Gretchen), Jennifer, and Michelle Martini, Lisa, Jenna, and Ben Kaczke, Ryan, Jonathon, and Laura Harstad, Corbin and Annika Volbert; two great-grandchildren, Linnea & Emma. In 1953, Curt was a founding partner of Hammel, Green and Abrahamson (HGA), a local architectural firm. Curt took personal delight in successful projects such as O'Shaughnessy Auditorium, and Orchestra Hall, among others. After retiring in 1994, Curt looked back on a career full of the highest national and local architectural honors, particularly the Minn. AIA Gold Medal. Curt was especially thrilled to receive a recognition award from the King of Sweden. In addition to his passion for his family and his work, Curt enjoyed golf and was a member of the Minneapolis Golf Club for over 45 years. Other interests included travel, art, and his Swedish heritage. The wisdom, kindness and humor of this Scandinavian gentleman will be greatly missed. Memorials preferred to Lutheran Church of the Reformation, American Swedish Art Institute, or donor's choice. Visitation Wednesday 5:30- 8 PM at Lutheran Church of the Reformation in St. Louis Park (952-929-0439). A Memorial Service will be held at Lutheran Church of the Reformation Thursday at 1 PM.

I will never forget the many kindnesses shown to me by this extraordinary man over the years. I was so pleased when he agreed to be a "Member of the Month" and was delighted when my efforts met with his approval. I mourn the passing of my friend and my prayers are with his family.

Dear Marje and family:

I typed an e-mail guest book entry, but now realize that I probably did not finish the "submit" process....I will be in touch with you by mail and by phone, Marje, but wanted you to know how deeply Curt and I are grieving with you over the death of your dear Curt...What an extraordinarily fine man he was...we have been privileged to know you both and to count you as our friends....

We are praying for you, that our Lord will surround you with comfort, blessings, and His wonderful peace....

Love, Curt and Ramona
