While I did not know Mr. Green that well, I know his daughter Julie very well! I know he was amazing, Julie always said such wonderful things about him. She loved him so much and he meant everything to her, her sister, her brother and her mother! Rest in peace Mr. Green.
I have had the privilege to have known the Green family for almost 35 years. Bill has always been a pillar of strength and love in their family. He was a great husband, father and funny friend. He will be missed greatly. He left a solid legacy of loyalty, hard work and sincere commitment to family, friends and work.
We were so lucky to move across the street from Toni and Bill 5 years ago. We will miss Bill’s dry sense of humor. He always made us laugh! Love – Adrienne and Tom Wines
I love you Uncle Bill. We were looking forward to seeing you last week, but god changed plans and took you home. I will miss your dry humor and the sweet spot you always had for your daughters, your granddaughter and thankfully me as your niece. I have talked to you daily and will always pray to you. Keep god laughing. Love you all – aunt a, nancy, Kyle, Julie, Andrew & Matt! Chris & Elissa
Dear Nancy, My heart goes out to you and your family at this time of extreme loss. Though I’m not there please know how much you are in my thoughts.
Toni and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have known and worked with Bill for about 12 years. It was such a joy to work with him on a client project, and his humor always kept me grounded. Even now, I can clearly hear his voice quoting from “Office Space” and once again, he has me laughing! I will miss him.
Bill! Everyone addressed my father-in-law as Bill. His wife, children, grandson, colleagues, neighbors, neighborhood kids, even the postman. A stoic man who was the pillar of strength for the Green family . Bill was a great man, a loving husband, father and grandfather. Often in the background of the family, or more accurately the basement, he was always well informed and knew what was going on. About 7 or 8 years ago something happened to Bill – he became “Papa”. Isabelle and Aidan adored and loved Papa more than words can describe. He was a big teddy bear, their funny, silly Papa who always had time to play. He gave our children a lifetime of memories in a short period of time – he will never be forgotten. Rest in peace. Love, Andrew
I met Bill when we were both Federal employees with the Treasury Department. He always made me laugh and was incredibly knowledgeable about Customs laws. After retiring in 2012 I had the privilege of working with Bill in the private sector. He was the consummate professional and cannot be replaced. I valued his friendship and will miss him terribly. God bless Bill and his family.
Knew Bill from his consulting business; he was a wonderful man with a wealth of knowledge. Very sorry for your loss. Blessings wished for all of you who loved him.
Dear Toni, I am so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. We have missed seeing you both on Foxstone Drive and so loved being your neighbors. All of our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Don and Shannon Seay
Toni, you know how loved Bill was by our family. His good humor and wit will be missed by all of us. God bless.
With sincerest regret that I have not been able to see Uncle Bill for the last several years now. A deeply talented individual in which he achieved much success in whatever he endeavoured and was particularly an outstanding role model for relationships, family and work ethic which was always accompanied with good humour and cheer. I will continue to think of him often and it was a privilege to have known him and to address him as my Uncle. We will miss him. Erick Fibich: Vanessa, Callum and Bailey Black Rock Victoria
I have sweet memories in the Green household and remember Bill as “Kyle’s grandpa” best. My thoughts and prayers are with the Green family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Dave and Sherry Vladimirou
Bill hired me and was my boss for a while in his second career. I was inspired by his fortitude and professionalism under difficult circumstances, and learned lessons from him that have served me well ever since. I remember him with great fondness.
