Don and Family: Our deepest sympathies in the loss of your father. He truly was a great man. A true gem among gems. My brother and myself have many fond memories of your parents at the many functions and Sunday School Classes at the Methodist Church.
Both are deeply missed.

Our sincerest condolences to the Green family. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Green in February of 2010 when we arrived back in our hometown of Munhall to honor the life of our mother Sara Thomas who past away the beginning of Feb.2010. May her soul rest in peace. We understand the loss & saddness one has to endure during this time. Green's Funeral Home & the Green family have been in Munhall since the day my brother & I were born and Mr. Green was truly a good man & a stand-up guy. Thanks once again to the entire staff at Green's and all you folks did for us during our time of need. Mr. Green & Green's Funeral Home has always & will always be a class act & we know that Don & the family will carry on the tradition. God bless George Green. We're confident that he is in heaven & all will be well. Wayne & Paul Thomas
