Michael R. Green, passed away on Monday April 09, 2018. Son of the late Robert P. and Jane (nee Goodrich) Green; dear father of Robert J. (Susan) Green and Charles (Tina) Green; loving brother of Martha “Marty” (Bob Barkman) Green, Susan “Sue” (John) Davis, Allen (JoAnne) Green and the late Stephen L. Green; dear brother-in-law of Bethany Green.
Mike loved his family (as we loved him); his siblings and their spouses, his sons and their spouses, and all the extended families that are still growing. At the family gatherings, Mike was always the first to arrive and the last to leave. He felt a “triple” and special love for his grandchildren Blake, Catelyn and Dyan. Mike maintained a close friendship with childhood friends. Mike was very loyal.
Mike was exceptionally mechanical. He was a willing source of information and help for his less mechanically inclined friends and family. He had been an assistant golf pro and was an excellent golfer.
Michael learned to fish from his grandfather, loved it, and passed that love on to his kids. He especially loved the marshes of the Carolina Low Country and visited them several times a year.
Mike was an intelligent, loving, and gentle man. He loved to read science and science fiction. He was convinced that man’s destiny was in the stars. He couldn’t wait for man to visit nearby planets. Perhaps he is visiting them now.
Mike loved his family, and we loved him.
We will miss you so much!
