Francis B. Green, 61, of
Rio Grande, NJ, passed away Friday, June 16, 2023. He was born in Philadelphia, PA to the late Thomas and Margaret Connelly Green and moved to Rio Grande three years ago from
Glendora, NJ. He was a member of Chews United Methodist Church in Glendora and the First United Methodist Church in Cape May Court House. Frank was employed as a jockey driver at Gloucester Terminals for 25 years.
Frank was an incredible family man. He was devoted to his children, grandchildren, and mother and loved playing with his grandchildren. He was a proud Haddon Heights Band Parent, volunteering and attending each marching band and color guard competition to support them. He enjoyed cars, the beach, biking, swimming, camping, and especially his cheesesteaks and candy. He participated in as many neighborhood events as he could while fighting his disease. He always had a smile for everyone he met along his way. His road was a hard one, but he ran it with dignity and grace.
Frank is survived by his wife Barbara, his daughters Meghan (John) Busch and Kelly Green, his sister Margaret (Walter) Schuman, his brother John Green, his grandsons John and Jameson, his niece Maggie, and many cousins. In addition to his parents, Frank was predeceased by his brother Thomas.
