Arthur Green Jr

Arthur Green, Jr. (known as "Pap" to hos Pittsburgh family and "Junior" to his Georgia family) was born on June 22, 1928 in Screven County, Georgia. He was the son of the late Katie Blount Johnson and Arthur Green, Sr. As a young man he relocated to Homestead where he had his family; the late Lillie Green and her husband. Like many young men of his generation Arthur served his country by enlisting in the Armed Foces. After completing his tour of duty in the United States Army and with an honorable discharge he returned to Homestead. During his 60 plus years as a resident of Homestead he was a well liked and respected member of the community. Arthur worked at a numer i positions before gaining employment with ARCO Housing. He was a dedicated employee and at the time of his retirement held the position of Maintenance Supervisor. Pap, being the Jack of All Trades, always worked side jobs: electrical, plumbing, furnace repair. He stayed busy because there was not much that "Mr. Green" could not fix. Arthur was a long standing member of Second Baptist Church under the pastorate of Rev. Donald P. Tunie. He served on the Usher Board, Distribution Committee, and was always willing to lend a hand wherever needed. He especially loved Sunday School and was a good and faithful servant. He remained active until his health no longer permitted him to do so. He was united in marriage to Hazel Todd who preceded him in death. On June 22, 2017 his 89th birthday, the Lord in His infinite wisdom called Arthur Green home. He leaves to cherish his memory, daughters: "Quincy" Lee Alberta West of Sardis, GA, "Carrie" Carretha (Willie) Terry of Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Evelyn Martin of Waco, TX, and Yvonne Booker of Fayetteville, NC; stepdaughters: "Pumpkin" Marlene (Don) Murphy and Shadena Todd of Homestead, PA; cousin, Ann Green of North Braddock, PA; siblings: Sarah Ferrell, Gracie Hendrix and George (GloriaAnn)Johnson of Statesboro, GA; Henry Lee (Lisa) Green of Waynesboro, GA and Eloise (Eugene) Robinson of Sardis, GA; grandchildren, great grands, nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives, special friends: Mark Grenich and Flora Carrie, his church family and other good friends too numerous to mention.
