It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of William Green. Bill passed away on January 26, 2015 at the age of 85.
Bill led a very rich life in many ways and enjoyed it to the fullest. Even though life threw obstacles in his way he always managed to overcome.
He joined the military in Jan. 1954, that is where the adventure started. While making a family and a home, Bill spent his most memorable days in the military. He spent time in Egypt and Cyprus. He served with the 8th Canadian Hussars and then with the Royal Canadian Dragoons throughout his 25 year career. He loved to tell his army stories over and over again.
He leaves to mourn his loving wife of 63 years, Elizabeth; sister, Helen Jones; his children: Gordon (Debbie), Wilma Jean, Diane (Gordon), Sandra (Gerry) and Thelma (Rick). He will be fondly remembered by all of his grandchildren. Special memories were made and will never be forgotten by Jack Whytewood and Margaret Jacobs.
Bill was predeceased by his parents, Violet and George Green; his daughters Donalda and Debbie; granddaughter Nicole and grandson Kevin.
The family will receive friends from 11 a.m. Friday, January 30 until the time of a memorial service at 1 p.m. in the H.W. Angus Funeral Home Chapel, New Glasgow, with Pastor John Luten officiating.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Goshen Gospel Church, P.O. Box 70 Goshen, NS, B0H 1M0.
