Just learning about Bob’s passing and his meaningful life story. 
My crew and I will cherish the memories of working with Bob to care for the exterior of the Judge Fenton / Green Residence. 
He cared so much!

My father was Harry William (1899) Green born in Top Bar S.D.  He told me that his favorite brother Ted, who was the smartest and best looking, was given away to a much more prosperous Montana rancher's family to raise and educate, because his family had lost their father  through death, and older brother by murder.  This was a sad memory my father carried until his death.  My brother Robert Allan (1943) Green and myself have had "1931 Bob as our main contact with our large Oregon Family, mainly through Email and long telephone conversations about our family history.  I will soon be 86 years old and have an older son Randy who will take my place.  PLEASE CONTINUE  BOB'S OUTSTANDING WORK, and keep us involved.
Much LOVE to ALL;  "1931"  Bill  

My first memory of Robert (Grandpa) and Dorothy (Grandma) Green started when I was five years old. They brought me an electric organ. I loved playing it. As I was playing it for him, Grandpa sat me on his lap, and wanted to have a singing and talking contest with me to see which one of us could get our voice the lowest. I marvelled at his deep tenor, and couldn't understand why my little voice couldn't touch his! That day was filled with fun and laughter. At that moment, I knew he would be someone special in my life journey. I love you forever, Grandpa...I'm still playing:).

I remember Grandpa sat me on his lap, and wanted to have a contest with me to see which one of us could get our voices the lowest. I remember the sound of his deep tenor, and marvelled at how low his voice could go, having no understanding of why my little voice couldn't touch it! That day was filled with fun and laughter. I knew he would be someone special in my life from that day forward. I love you forever, Grandpa...I'm still playing:)

I worked side by side with Bob, for six months and several business lunches. For Bob, it was always a turkey sandwich ("the real stuff, not that pressed processed kind") and he always had a Mountain Dew. I owe Bob a lot, not only for the work he had done, but for what he taught, so that we could continue with his work. The labor movement and members of Teamsters Local 206, owe Bob a great deal. We are deeply saddened by his passing. I still enjoyed his periodic visits to the office and inquiries as to current affairs.  I hope these memories of Bob, bring a smile to family and friends, he will  always be thought of in the fondest way. 


In 1980 one of the warehousemen I worked with told me to stop at the Union Hall and ask for Bob Green. He helped me organize the office workers at Pacific Fruit and Produce, which became Food Services of America, now dba, US Foods. I hope his family finds solace from his passing with the knowledge of all the good he has done in his life. Blessings ♥️
