The sun set for Donald Eugene Green, Sr. beloved father, brother, grandfather, great grandfather and great great grandfather on December 3, 2013 in Colorado Springs, CO. Don passed away peacefully in his sleep. Don was born in White Pigeon, Michigan on June 26, 1931. He grew up in Elkhart, Indiana. Don served in the Navy from 1949 to 1952, and while stationed in Chicago he met and married his soul mate Wilma “Billie” Keiser. Billie was born on the Ft. Peck Indian Reservation in Montana. Billie preceded Don to the Happy Hunting Grounds in August of 2003. It is nice to know that Don and Billie are now together at the big Pow Wow in the sky. Don wasn’t born a Native American but become one when he married Billie. Don embraced the culture and the people.
Don leaves behind Mona and Dennis Essary (daughter and son-in-law), Don Green, Jr. and Leann and Larry Nicholas (daughter and son-in-law), brothers Arthur and Jerry Green. He also leaves behind beloved grandsons, granddaughters, many great great grandchildren, nieces and several dear friends.

i will always remember uncle don hen mom and dad moved to palma ceia village in hayward i was a senior in high school at fremont high in oakland, from jan to june/64 he took me to school every day. so sad to hear that he has left this world but he has gone to a much better place, i believe that thoes people that we know in christ will be there to greet us. i can see them smiling at each other. i believe that the lord honors thoes who were married and jointed together and never gave up. i am sad that he has passed but i know the lord call thoes whom he knows.

My deepest sympathy to Little Mona, Bim & Leann. I’ll always remember the photos of the very young sisters, Billie & Mona, with their handsome Navy husbands, Don & CH. I’m glad Auntie Billie & Uncle Don are together in Poplar, along with our other family members who have gone before us. Uncle Don was very kind to me and I remember you all fondly.
