Tom was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend to so many.
He was a retired Vice-president of Raleigh Furniture Company which closed its door after almost 100 years in business. In later years he became a Real Estate Entrepreneur.

In 1962, he married his college sweetheart, Marsha C. Paul and had two children. They were married for 27 years before things in life separated them.

Green IV of Myrtle Beach, SC, ex-daughter-in-law, Tammy Green of Selma, NC, Tom's grandson Thomas Edward Paul Green of Cary, NC; Tom's daughter Johanna Leigh Green Hicks and son-in-law Michael Lee Hicks of Minnesott Beach, NC, grandson Trevor Jordan Green of Grantsboro, NC; step-grandsons Bradley Southard of Missouri, Nicholas Perkins of Kinston, NC; and step-great grandson Aiden Rice of Missouri; along with fur babies Hollywood, Dixie and Pepper.
