To the Green family,

Mike was incredibly generous and a great soul.  My prayers are with you in this time of grief.

Dear Green family,

I have been struggling with what I can say to adequately express my condolences. Mike was more than a boss and mentor for my 18 years at DMRA, he was a true friend and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.  I wish you peace.

Remembering Mike Green

All of us who were fortunate to know Mike as a good friend are shocked and saddened by his sudden and unexpected passing. He was always cheerful, ebullient, bubbly, excited, and just plain fun to be around. At our monthly PVR Bad Boys lunches, Mike often tested me on my minerals & rocks background, sometimes even bringing to our meeting samples that he had personally collected. I found it prudent to bring a hands lens to study these specimens during our get-togethers. Properly identified, such rocks & minerals silently testify to aspects of the Earth’s complex history; consequently, they evoked many geological stories. Mike was especially anxious to get my geo-interpretation of those “treasures" that he and his grandson had discovered in their explorations. Such fun! In finding/collecting. Ever enthusiastic, curious, that was Mike. We are all so sorry for your loss—ours too. We will all remember him with fondness and a smile. Please accept our heartfelt condolences.

(I regret not being able to attend the celebration of Mike’s life, but I suffered a nasty fall several weeks ago, and cannot easily walk, stand, or sit in comfort. Also broke my right wrist. Instead, I’ll be with you in spirit, smiling as I remember Mike.)

Dear Joan, Pam and Eugene,

In the past weeks my thoughts have often returned to Mike. Generous, jubilant, intelligent and active are characteristics that first come to mind but he was much more than that. Even in the short time I knew him it was obvious he wanted everyone to succeed, which is something I'll take to heart.

Dear Joan, Pam, Eugene, and Family,

Mike lived a full life.  I hope the great memories will be a comfort to you in the days ahead.  With heartfelt condolences,  Annette

Dear Joan, Pam, and Eugine,

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Mike Green. He was not just my boss for more than 20 years, the energetic, passionate leader of DMRA, but also a genuinely warm-hearted person who touched the lives of many, including mine. 

He will be cherished in our memories and greatly missed. 

With deepest sympathy,

Irina Reynov

Dear Joan, Pam, and Eugene,

We are so very sorry for your loss.  Though your hearts are aching, we know you will find comfort in all the wonderful memories you have of Mike:  Joan, in having been blessed with  60 years of shared life together; Pam, in having been gifted  such a loving and devoted  father; and Eugene, your five cherished years with him have left his love in your heart and that love will always be with you.

Mike was a wonderful  neighbor and friend.  Jim and I will miss him.

Dear Joan, Pam, and family

I am so very sorry and sad to hear about Mike. Words are of brief comfort, but wonderful memories are forever-- I'll forever think of Mike as always smiling, laughing, full of joy and boundless energy. My love to you all
