Louis A. Green, Sr.

My name is LOUIS ANTHONY GREEN, SR. I was on born November 9, 1940, in Towson, Maryland. I was raised by my loving parents Charles and Prodgell, both deceased. I attended Carver Elementary in Towson, Baltimore City School #181 and graduated from Frederick Douglass High School, Class of 1958. After high school I attended Morgan State University for two years. As most you know, I have always held down two jobs. I worked for Revere Copper and Brass and The Moore Bookbinding Company. In 1966, I was hired by the University Maryland Hospital and retired from there in 2003. In 1982, I was hired by P. F. Obrecht & Co. until my full retirement in 2020. I will always be grateful for the years I spent at Obrecht. I learned a lot and made long lasting and dear friendships with my employer and the staff. I have had three joyous moments in my life; the birth of my son, Louis A. Green, Jr., the birth of my grandson, Louis A. Green, III and the moment I met the love of my life, Denise. We dated for six years before finally tying the knot in 1987. Many of you remember that wedding. We were married for 36 years. We had many challenges through the years including my cancer recovery, hip replacement surgery and my stroke recovery. We enjoyed tennis and golf until the hips gave out and arthritis moved in. I enjoyed taking pictures, I loved nature and spending time with my family. Denise and I traveled the world, as most of you know. We were very fortunate to enjoy our trips, returning with souvenirs for the staff at Obrecht, our friends and family. Our last trip together was a cruise to Ireland and Scotland. We had never been to these destinations, and we looked forward to it. It was a wonderful trip. We went to Liverpool, home of the Beatles and visited the Titanic Museum in Belfast. I was an avid sports fan. When I worked at University Hospital, and when the Bullets were playing in town (this was many years ago) I would sneak out to watch them play and sneak right back into the hospital reporting back to work. Rest assured that I didn’t do that when I worked for the Obrecht’s, because the Bullets had moved onto to Washington, D.C. I loved the Ravens and Orioles. Whenever George Obrecht called saying he had tickets to either the Ravens or an Oriole game I would jump right on them. Believe me, I will miss those times at the ballparks. Preceding me in my death are my parents, my sister Eartha, my brothers Emerson and Charles. I leave this world cherishing the memories I shared with my loving wife Denise, my son Louis Green Jr. (Kip); my grandson Louis Green, III (Trey); my siblings John Green (Velma), my sister-in-law (Betty), my brother Victor Green and my sister Prodgelee Pearson (John). I am also survived by a host of nephews, nieces, great-nephews, great-nieces and dearly cherished cousins, particularly those who reside in South Carolina, New York, Virginia and California.
