Jenn, Dave and families;
I was so sorry to hear of your dad's passing.  I would think of your parents fondly as they were wonderful friends to my parents Colin & Beryl Vincent.  Although it has been many, many years, I can still hear your dad's voice.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

This is the Nutrition for Learning team - it has been unbelievable to see the donations come in with the loveliest notes in memory of Alan. Thank you so much to the entire family for honouring his life in this meaningful way. The impact will ripple out immeasurably into the community for years to come. Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute to Alan, may we all be inspired by his life well-lived!

Growing up, I spent much time at the Green home.  
Joan and Alan were so welcoming and kind to us, and we could always count on Alan to make us laugh.  He was so wonderful and so much fun to be around.   Pat and I are sending our deepest condolences to you, dear Dave and Jenn, and to your families.

Alan was always a fantastic person to have around at Resurrection and on the soccer pitch. He was a great mentor and referee when he did our games. There was always a smile and kind word (and often a joke) when I ran into him in the main office.

My sincere condolences on Alan's passing.
He was a very kind, compassionate and caring individual; it was a pleasure to work with Alan at Resurrection C.S.S.
He will definitely be missed. 
May your many years of happy memories help to sustain you at this time.

Your dad was the first lector at St Francis of Assisi that I read with and we became great friends. When he moved to University Gates, I would often see him there when I was with a nursing class from Conestoga College.
We would sit and have a long chat and he kept reminding me that I should notify him when I was coming. He always promised me tea and a bun.
I have missed his strong voice and his wonderful sense of humour which he is now sharing with everyone in Heaven especially God.He always proclaimed Gods 'word so beautiul and meaningful.

My sincerest condolences to Alan Greens family.

I met Alan when he was the Vice Principal at St. Louis Adult Learning Centre in Preston, Cambridge. I was a recent graduate of an I.T. program and was looking for work. I met with Alan and asked him if there were any positions that I might be able to fill. He told me that he wanted me to teach a new program. The program was QBasic programming. This course would start in 2 weeks from the date of our meeting. Of course, I had absolutely no knowledge of any programming languages except for DOS. 

Another teacher who provided me with printouts of coding - that was Greek to me at that time. I travelled to all book stores and libraries to find books on the subject and came up with nothing. I did visit a used book store literally across the road from St. Louis and there was 1 used book on the subject! That was my lucky day.  I spent 5 years teaching for St. Louis.

I credit Alan for providing me with a life-changing career opportunity.  I am a programmer and had a successful training business for many years.

I was very fortunate and blessed to have Mr. Green as a high school teacher! He enriched my life with his teachings and his wonderful and positive outlook on life. I will forever be grateful for all his kind words and consider myself truly fortunate to have met this man. 
 Rest In Peace Mr. Green

Alan always was the life of the party when he joined our circle of friends.

Steve and I had the pleasure of meeting Alan and Joan 30+ years ago. During these years, a deep friendship was formed we spent many afternoons and evenings on their deck, Having cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, while watching the birds flitter about in their many  bird houses. There were many stories shared, and much laughter during our times together. Alan was a very kind and considerate man always offering a friendly hand and some good solid advice. He booked many adventures for Steve and I while he worked as a travel agent. He had firsthand knowledge of the places that he sent us to and he knew we would like them. Sometimes we met both Alan  and Joan  in South Carolina, where we had nice walks by the beach and of course, lots of seafood and wine. Alan was a rock when my best friend Joan, his dear wife passed away. He comforted me even while he was grieving, and we looked at the good times we shared.  Steve and I miss him, and are  honoured to have him in our lives for such a long time. Our deepest condolences to Jenn and Dave and their families. Rest in peace.

Alan was one of my teachers at St Jerome’s. Thank you for sharing him with the rest of us. I will always remember his sense of humour and compassion for all. My deepest condolences to all of his family and close friends.

Joan and Alan loved travelling, we would plan day trips this one was to turkey point....we love and miss you both tremendously!

Every Sunday we were able to spend time with Joan and Alan, making memories swapping stories and enjoying every moment that God allowed us to have with these amazing people!

Jenn, Craig, Grace and Ross and Dave and Silvia - thoughts and prayers are with you as you work your way through this loss. I have so many memories of Alan, but the most wonderful and everlasting is those many years that Alan and Joan came to Rondeau  Provincial Park for the annual Green-MacKinnon-Tracey BBQ. They always brought the corn and Joan's amazing potato salad. It was always a great afternoon with lots of talk and laughter. I have and will continue to miss those special days.  Joan and Barry Tracey

Jenn and Dave. I am so sorry to learn of your father’s passing. He was such a warm, kind and funny man - always smiling. You’re in my thoughts and prayers. Rachel Pinnington

Two good men - Alan and my husband on our trip to visit years ago.  Both are gone now but will never be forgotten

I would like to share my deepest condolences to your family and may fond memories fill your hearts during this difficult time.
Mr. Green was my religion teacher at St. Jerome’s back in 1988/89.  I can honestly say that he was my favourite teacher.  Always a smile on his face and lifted the spirits of the students in the hallways and classrooms he taught in. I recently told a good friend of mine that if all teachers were like Alan, the world would surely be a better place.

I worked with Alan at Resurrection C.S.S. and I always viewed him as a kind, caring, and hard working colleague.  His concern for all students was most evident and, as indicated in his beautiful obituary, social justice initiatives were very important to him. 
My thoughts are with Alan's family and friends during this difficult time.  
With sympathy,
Paul Boucher.

So many great memories working with Alan at St.Jerome’s back in the 80’s. He was truly a dedicated, passionate teacher; a warrior for justice and peace.I learned so much from him and relished his compassionate support. Rest in peace dear Alan.

The world has lost a brilliant light. I loved working with Alan co-leading the OECTA religious education courses  for teachers. He was a powerful mentor and teacher.  More importantly I loved having him as a friend. Gentleness, vision, wisdom and a bratty twinkle in his eye, that was Alan. Journey well my friend. Thanks for the richness you brought to my life, and to the lives of so many others. Sincerest condolences to Alan’s family and his other friends.
