Richard T. Green passed away March 29, 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona. He was born December 8, 1938 in Chicago, Illinois to Theron W. And Saragrace Green.
He is survived by his wife of 61 years (Julia) Colleen Green, daughter Kristin Luttropp, brothers David (Sandee), Curtis (Keri), and numerous nieces and nephews.
Aside from his family, he was most proud of serving 21 years in the U.S. Navy. After retiring from the Navy he worked for the phone company and as a realtor.
Richard embodied the phrase “never met a stranger” and enjoyed meeting new people. He will be remembered as someone with a kind heart, a great sense of humor and a booming laugh. He enjoyed woodworking, volunteering and lively get-togethers with family and friends.
He will be truly missed but he leaves us with a lifetime of wonderful memories.
As per Richard’s request, no funeral service will be held. The family will hold a private Celebration of Life.
