Robert Daniel Green, Jr.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Robert Daniel Green, Jr., affectionately known as "Bob," who departed this life on February 16, 2025, after an 18-month struggle with Lewy Body Dementia. Born on March 30, 1942, Bob's remarkable journey through life touched the hearts of many.

Bob is survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Patricia A. Green; his daughters Kelly (Roper) Morris of La Quinta, CA, Jill S. Lyons of Indianapolis, IN, and Tracy (Chris) Andrews of Gurnee, IL; his son, Paul (Sherry) Green of Cincinnati, OH; and his ten cherished grandchildren: Courtney Green, Rachel (Brad) Weidner, Olivia Green, Meredith Green, Henry Green, Howie Green, Daniel Sowa, Austin Sowa, Lucy Andrews, and Deegan Lyons. He also leaves behind one great-grandson, Dominic Weidner.

Bob’s education was marked by his graduation from Purcell High School in 1960, a BBA from the University of Cincinnati in 1972, and an MBA from Xavier University in 1983. His professional life was equally distinguished. Bob spent nearly 50 years as a labor negotiator, retiring from Temple-Inland in 2012 after significant tenures at Mead Corporation and Gaylord Containers. He was also a 4th Degree Knight in the Knights of Columbus.

Known for his passion for his faith and family, Bob was immensely proud of all his children, grandchildren, and great-grandson. He was an amazing father and a dedicated coach to his kids, always supporting them regardless of their pursuits. Bob loved running, playing golf, reading, and his labrador running mates. He also had a particular fondness for cars, especially clean cars and Corvettes. He was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. Bob’s life was an adventure that took him to opportunities in Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dayton, Atlanta, Georgia, and Indianapolis. His legacy of love, support, and devotion will continue to inspire all who knew him.

Bob will be deeply missed but forever remembered for his unwavering faith, competitive spirit, and the love he spread throughout his life. May he rest in peace.
