Robert Daniel Green
July 11, 1954 — September 1, 2016
Rob "Cowboy" Green rode on to heaven on September 1, 2016. He lived Life larger than anyone. As a World traveler, he made friends wherever he went.

Rob loved riding anything that was fast and loud, especially his Harleys. Above all, he loved his family and friends. He was a loving father, husband, and mentor who will be missed by all. Rob is survived by his wife, Marlene O'Leary; his son, Christian Green; brothers Don and Brian; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Per Rob's wishes, he was cremated and his ashes will be spread in this favorite places around the World by his friends and family.
