Mr. Green was so instrumental in the black community of Emporia, Virginia. He was a leader, and a role model as a God fearing , family center, community engaged, and inspiring black man. he provided a path of employment as a lifeguard, that has allowed me to help many people learn how to swim.
I am sure I speak for all of the CYC kids,and families.
You blessed us!

This hurts me to my soul! He was my teacher, my inspiration and he always tried his best to keep me out of trouble. I remember him picking me up to help him and his wife in the yard. Boyce inspired me to make music and Kyle inspired me to want a family. He always had me learning something and encouraged me to do my best. I would not have made it if it were not for him. I loved him like a father and after I moved to NC my wife would always tell me to call Mr. Green and check on him, I thought I had time.... I'm so sorry I didn't get to talk to him. He and his family will always be in my heart and my prayers.

"Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints." Green Family & Joseph: May God grant you peace as you cope with your loss. Tears will come, the pain will be intense at times and days may be dreary. Rest assured that in time, your sweet memories will comfort you all and bring smiles to your face once again. The clouds may hang low today rest assured the brilliant sun will shine again. Be Blessed Family. Fred Quietly exchanged the busy walk of life for Sweet Eternity with his Creator. Prayers, Prayers, Prayers.

I never had a father. I wished all the time that if I did have a father, he would be like Me. Green. I wished that Mr. Green was my dad. I will miss him dearly and I will ALWAYS love him like a father.
