This photo was taken just a few months back, on July 1, at a family gathering to celebrate the many years of love and support among family. Mr. Green is enjoying delicious food by his son, Chris, owner of the Cozy Kitchen Restaurant in Caledonia. I like this picture a lot because of that enjoyment of life and also because I can see Dean Green in his face. Mr. Green will be missed by all who knew him well and all who knew of him through family stories.
