I first met Danny Greene on the registration line for courses as a Freshman at Fordham University at the 302 Broadway campus in NYC.We became friends as we found out our birthdays were 2 days apart. Mine is May 29th. We remained friends throughout our freshman year as Danny and a group from school went to Appalachia during spring Break. Since my fathern had just died my family did not want me joining this group going to Kentucky. I lost touch with Dnny after he left Fordham and di not reconnect but he was one person I metr at Fordham who i thought was a gifted, special individual who would one day support students an education in a special way.

I was surprised to recently learn he had passed but I believe his job was done here and he returned home to God. Rest in peace, friend.

Mr. Greene was my teacher back in 2015 in JMH. I was a senior and I had him for my economic class. I remember the day he announced that he was diagnosed with the terrible sickness during class. He was sickly and coughing yet he still decided to come to school because he loved us and loved teaching. He was such a kind soul, God loving, and empathic person. I miss him very well. I still have his post pinned on my IG til this day.

Love you Mr. Greene

I worked with Daniel (Mr. Greene) at Madison High School. Such a calming soul, even in the midst of challenge. I will miss his kind eyes and caring heart. He truly was making a difference with his students. May God continue to bless his family. <3

I was so sorry to hear about Danny's passing. I was a volunteer at the David School the summer I was a Senior at Saint Brendan's High School in Brooklyn (1974). Danny was a gentle, kind man and all of us who had the privilege of working with him came to love him.

I am so sorry to hear that Danny has passed away. I was a classmate of his during our grammar school days at ST Vincent Ferre School in Brooklyn. I was always taken a back by all that Danny had accomplished thru out his accomplished career. In fact I reached out to him a few years ago and expressed my admiration for him. We exchanged E Mails amd he gave me his Tel #. I wished I had called him.
Rest In Peace Danny John Costanzo

Mr. Greene was my government and economics teacher this past year in 2017. He always brought a face to his students if they were down. He'd go off topic while we would be teaching us. Mr.Greene helped me when I had a hard time on a test and helped me understand it more in depth. I can say for everyone that knew him, he will be dearly missed and he was an amazing teacher.

Danny was our friend & neighbor for 8 years. I also worked with him for a few years at Madison. He was a very kind hearted man that was always there to help anyone. The Greene’s are great people we miss seeing them and miss their fellowship. Danny inspired the youth wherever he taught because he listened to them and truly cared for them. He will be missed and we should all try to love as Danny did.

Mr. Greene was the type of person who walked in a room and his smile communicated his kind and compassionate heart. Without saying a word he looked at you and made you feel noticed and thought of. When I first started working at Madison and had stressful and intimidating moments, Mr. Greene helped calm me and told me that I was doing a great job. And at the time he was new himself to Madison as a long term substitute. I will miss his gentle and kind spirit. Praying for God’s comfort and strength for his family.

Mr. Greene,

I remember the time you substituted for my English class when I was a Junior, I remember everyone being loud and rowdy except for me and a few other students, I remember when you sat at the desk and stared at me... then you got a chair and sat next to me. And you told me, “you look like you have a story to tell... tell me about you? I’m Mr. Greene.” I was so confused because I’ve never had anyone other than one person tell me something like that... we talked the whole class period and even after hours when that class ended since it was the last period of the day. We went from talking about our origins to what I wanted to have my career in. No matter how I looked or sounded you never doubted me, you never told me I couldn’t, and you never told me it was impossible. You smiled and told me your stories as I told you mine. You encouraged me and made me understand that it was okay to dream big and be happy. It was okay to believe in myself no matter what anyone else though. I entered that class that day not knowing who you were but left it feeling like I gained a friend and a supporter. You changed my life in the sense that I actually felt like someone who didn’t even know me saw so much potential I felt like a winner. That day we met, talked, and hugged changed me forever. I regret not getting to come visit like I had promised And I regret not getting to see that smile that made me feel like I was actually doing something right for once. I regret it but I don’t regret meeting you... you’ve changed me for the better and there will NEVER be anyone like you... you Mr. Greene are a ONE IN A LIFE TIME PERSON. An I was so glad to have been put in your path to meet you.

Love, Heaven Balderas
Class of 2016

When you are blessed to have had a best friend like Danny, who was more like a brother than a friend, it is nearly impossible to tell one story about about his rich, wonderful life. Nevertheless, a story that immediately comes to mind is the time Danny read "The Giving Tree", by Shel Silverstein , to a gathering at St. Vincent Ferrer Church, our local parish. It was a long time ago, but I seem to recall that it was after a fund-raising event for his school (The David School) in David, Kentucky. The story was about a boy who was taken care of by the tree as he progressed through life. The tree gave him a place to climb, apples and shade. As time progressed the tree gave all it's apples for the now teenage boy to raise money to buy things. Then as the boy reached manhood the tree gave it's branches so the man could build his home. When the man was much older the tree provided it's trunk so the man could build a boat, to travel. When the man reached old age, he returned to the tree. The tree was just a stump and had nothing left to give. When the old man wanted to rest, the tree straightened up as best as it could and let the man sit on his stump...and the tree was happy. Danny was the real life version of The Giving Tree. He gave so much to so many of us and when he thought he had nothing left he dug deep within himself and somehow found a way to give even more than he imagined he could. I will cherish our friendship...our brotherhood... forever.

Daniel Green was a great person and a great teacher. I worked with him at James Madison High School, and I know that he considered it his sacred duty to be the best teacher he could be in service to the learning of his students. He had a big heart of love and caring for his fellow human beings. God rest his soul.

I met him after graduation during October. I was with my family, and he was with his. I remember he was sitting in the big rocking chair at the texas corn maize. I ran to him, so excited to see one of my favorite old teachers. Daniel Greene is the reason why i went to college. He was such a sweet man. He always encouraged me in my art ventures and was so proud of everything i did in class. He made be believe in myself.

I worked with Mr. Greene at Madison HS. I got to know his wonderful soul by visiting him every morning with our “Coffee Cart” service in our Special Ed department. I always looked forward to stopping by his room because he had such a loving glow that our students, & myself very much enjoyed. I loved hearing him speak about his family in the softest, warmest tone. He often asked me about my daughter which always made me smile. He showed so much care to everyone. I will miss his presence greatly, but I will always feel him smiling throughout the halls. God Bless.

Mr. Greene. A man who truly walked the walk. In whose presence one could not help but smile. He and I had many a conversation in the teacher's lounge at Madison. Always positive even throughout his health battle, he never disappointed in leaving me with a lighter heart and a brighter smile. No doubt he was greeted with "Well done good and faithful servant." Thank you for leaving this earth a better place.

Knowing Danny Greene has been a pleasure. He was kind, compassionate and loving. We had many conversations about this and that but they always turned to talking about our children and grandchildren. His love and pride for his family was always foremost and evident. One of the things I appreciated most was his soft spoken voice and New York accent. Things were always better after a few minutes together. Reading his obituary, I realize I only knew part of his story. What a blessing he has been throughout the years to so many. I know I was blessed to know him.

I had Mr. Greene as my Government teacher my senior year at Madison High School. Mr. Greene always listened to me & helped me in any way he could. You could tell he truly cared about his students & I am so honored to have been on of his students. I am in college today because of him. If he didn’t force me to apply or help me with my FAFSA as well as help me keep my grades on track, I wouldn’t be the A student I am today at Texas A&M University- San Antonio. Heaven has truly gained an angel.

I had Mr.Greene for economics class my junior year. He was without a doubt the sweetest teacher I ever had. He made economics fun, which I thought would be impossible. When I became a senior I would sit outside his class in the mornings before school and we would talk about our lives and how things were going. He will be missed dearly.
