May 22, 1937 – June 2, 2021. Passed peacefully away at the Health Sciences Centre on Wednesday, June 2nd, 2021 former businessma­n, Robert Martin Green of New-wes-valley at 84 years of age. Predecease­d by his parents, George and Dinah Green and brother-in-law, Gerald Cross. Leaving to mourn with precious memories his wife of 59 years, Annie and daughter, Sandra Green (Charlie Furlong), sister, Marie-beth Wright (Carl).

We are grateful to Bob’s lifelong friends and other relatives, his Tim’s coffee buddies and the good people of New-wes-valley including former customers, colleagues and staff for their concern and support. Bob acquired much fame and admiration as an outstandin­g raconteur and for his ability to entertain others. He naturally connected with all comers while operating a large general store in Valleyfiel­d for over 45 years. He was happiest at Mile One Centre, in movie theatres, riding ski doo or in front of a large TV screen. He consistent­ly cheered on his beloved Chicago Black Hawks to mixed results over the years. The family thanks the Reverend David Guzzwell and the doctors and nurses of 4 North A for their empathy and compassion in aiding Bob on his final journey.
