I had the pleasure of working with Green at Lorain Ford.He was such a nice guy. He could have made it as a professional comedian.

Green was our repairman in Cushion Dept. at Ford. Always had our coffee ready and was a joy to work with. Thank you Green for your kind and generous heart. Been missing you ever since we retired. All of the good memories will put a smile on my face.RIH
