      He also worked in the Tri-City area and Central Washington picking hops, did construction work at Umatilla Army Depot, cut asparagus and worked on a mint farm and a wheat ranch. He also worked at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital and Babcock Oil Company. In 1944 he moved his family to Umapine and began working for the Otto Hellberg ranch; he remained there until he broke his hip in May 2009. He then went to live with his daughter Shirley after his rehabilitation.

      Mr. Green is survived by daughters Shirley Brosh and Rena Baker, both of Milton-Freewater, and Loretta Donaldson of Walla Walla; son Russell Green of Milton-Freewater; 11 grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
