Edmund Green was born in San Francisco to Philip and Frances Green. Ed grew up in the Marina and was a proud graduate of Lowell High School and UC Berkeley where he was a member of Sigma Alpha Mu. After graduating from Cal, Ed worked as a CPA for over 75 years. In 1954 he met his wife, Deborah, on a blind date. They were married in 1956 and settled in San Francisco. They had two daughters, Diane and Suzanne. One of Ed's greatest pleasures was spending holidays with his family and extended holiday family.
Ed served on the boards of the San Francisco Jewish Community Centers, Brandeis-Hillel Day School, and Congregation Sherith Israel.
Ed loved music. He had season tickets to the San Francisco Opera for over 50 years and was a long-time ticketholder to the San Francisco Symphony. Ed wrote an article on Elgar's Enigma Variations which was published in the Elgar Society Journal.
Ed always was reading something, especially nonfiction, and often could be found reading in his garden, even if that meant wrapping himself in a parka. He was an avid traveler and will be remembered for eating ice cream throughout his travels. With his family and friends, he took yearly trips Yosemite and in later years Lake Tahoe. Ed also loved taking walks around San Francisco, especially the Marina Green and Stow Lake.
Ed will be remembered as kind, thoughtful, intelligent, funny, and loving. He was a gentleman.
Ed is survived by his wife Deborah, daughter Diane, nephews Jeff Green (Annie) and Ron Green (Rebecca) as well as by grand and great-grand nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his daughter Suzy and brother Zan. Funeral services were held on December 12, 2025.
