My sincere condolences to all members of the Green family-Coach Green taught my son, Scott, to love football at a very young age. He demanded respect from his team and received so much respect in return, not only from his players but the parents and opposing team as well. He was a great leader and teacher. Thank you for sharing him with everyone. He touched many lives in such a positive way.

Our heartfelt sympathies to Pinky and family.
I love the picture of Ken with the lobster. Besides Keith's ale and cigars he loved lobster. We used to have lobster parties at Liteco on Saturdays every once in awhile. He was in his glory. Beer, lobster and good friends and he was as happy as a man could be. It was good to see someone who enjoyed life so much.
He couldn't remember something I told him 5 minutes ago but he could remember a joke from 10 years ago and tell it perfectly. There was always laughter in that branch. And of course he would have carried that charismatic personality with him to Eddys.
I know Meghan really liked working for him for the short time that she did.
He was our friend and we will miss him greatly.

My condolences to the Green family. I knew Ken through football. He always had a sunny disposition and contributed tirelessly to the community through his commitment to football and the players. I knew a number of his children and they were all very high achievers in both sport and their chosen professions. When I go to my next football game there will be a large void along the sidelines and it will not be the same without Ken to give us all a warm smile and all the latest news about his family and the game.

Ken was a friend and a football colleague who had passion for the sport and genuinely cared for the kids that he coached. He made a difference in his community and I admired the work that the did, often with limited resources. His smile and sense of humor was infectious.

I would like to express my sincerest sympathies to all of Ken's family. I have never met any of you but your husband (Dad) talked about you all and of how proud he was of all you have accomplished. I could always count on Ken for a hug or a joke if I was having a bad day. I would always stop by the Liteco Barrington St office if I needed some cheering up. He will truly be missed by all of us in our industry. He was always a true Gentleman and friend. So sorry for your loss.
