I know that Harry helped shape my husband Jeremy into the man he is today and I can attribute so many of Jeremy's qualities to Harry's influence. Harry was a joy to be around - hilarious, witty, intelligent, and kind. We are thankful that our 2 oldest had the privilege of meeting him, too. He will be missed by our family.
There is not one single memory from my childhood that does not involve my grandpa&grandma green.I cannot put into words how much I love him. whether it be, him taking me or picking me up from school all the time...him taking me out to the garden, I remember being so little and just amazed at how beautiful and tall all those sunflowers were...there was a bucket of tadpoles, he would take me out everyday and show me how they slowly changed. I remember him planting this small tree out front of their home...and being much older seeing that tree tower so high...I can close my eyes and walk thru every inch of their home..and still see both of them. I know how much love he had for me, and I pray he knows how deeply I loved him. He was the most amazing person.

I am glad to have had "Grandpa Green" in my life and the life of my family. He taught me to read, play chess, tend a garden, and just plain enjoy life. He was always ready to laugh, and I'll miss sharing all our old stories together. Romans 15:13
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."
Harry was a charming resident at our facility. He will be missed deeply.

I was inspired by Grandfather Harry and Grandmother Molly Parker Hirshberg Green. They were collecters of antiques and cameras. I remember visiting each of them in St. Petersburg, FL and at the This 'n That Antique Shop when I was a child through my adult years. I recently visited Grandpa Harry and Grandma Molly and my father Sherwin Hirshberg in St. Petersburg in or around 1996. I spoke with him several times since. I enjoyed identifying that when he yelled at me when I was around 10 years old, when I was having difficulty lifting myself out of the fishing boat onto the dock up to walk up to the house, that he was not being mean to me for no reason, or because I was slow, but rather he just wanted to clean up and begin cooking the trout or catfish for all of us for dinner. I walked from Coquina Key on November 21, 2012 to attend the funeral but missed it because of the Army's Intelligence Agency's negligence in honoring those that served by ensuring that family can attend the funeral. Many family could not attend but I am sure they send their best wishes and pray that he rests in peace. I regret that I could not speak with Harry this last week. I was trying to identify the assisted living facility he was living in but experienced much stonewalling by the Army for no valid reason. I don't know of any reason why Harry would not wish that I attend his funeral. Harry, if can, please convey a message if there was a reason that you did not want me at your funeral. Otherwise, please encourage the Army to accept my lawsuit. I walked over six miles, without food, water, holes on the bottom of my shoes. I am not a drug user, but the local agencies are mistreating me and forcing me to walk. I pray that Grandpa Harry rests in peace and that his soul rests in peace in the U.S. Deborah Hirshberg, MPA/JA
Harry Green was my sixth grade teacher at Pinellas Park Elementary and he was wonderful! Later he was my principal at Cross Bayou Elementary and I was a new teacher there. He amused my class greatly when he would drop in and tell tales of me as a sixth grader. I wish I had known that he had returned to this area. He was a great educator! Anne Mercier Stuckey
I had the honor of working with Harry at Pinellas Park Elem. School. What a "Great" guy! His sense of humor, artistic ability and positive attitude made him special. He was a mentor for me and I am so sorry to have not kept in contact with him. We have "lost" an excellent teacher, Principal and friend.
We are blessed to have been able to know dad over these past years. He was a talented man with an amazing sense of humor. He will forever be in our hearts.
