GREEN	

Bobby Louis Green passed away on June 9, 2010, at the age of 76 years and 
went home to be with his Lord.  He was born on September 29, 1933, in Oilton, 
Oklahoma, to charley Louis Green and Faye Dunham.  He was the middle child 
of five children and spent several years living with his Grandpa Green and 
helping him on his farm.
  
He joined the U. S. Navy in 1952 and spent the next four years serving his 
country, traveling overseas to places in the Pacific, such as Japan.  He met 
the love of his life, Sarah Jackson, in Midland, Texas and they were married 
on November 9, 1956, in Midland, Texas.  Bobby and Sarah had four children  
during their 53 years of marriage.  He worked his whole life in the oilfield 
industry, spending the last 15 years of his career as a Drilling Consultant.  
Bobby loved to hunt and fish, and most of the family vacations were spent 
camping at the lake.  He loved to spend his spare time poring through the 
Pro Bass books and organizing his fishing gear.  He also was a wonderful 
gardener like his mother and could grow almost anything.  He accepted Jesus 
as his Lord and Savior and was a member of Pecan Baptist Church in Robert Lee.  
His family takes great comfort in knowing he is now with his Heavenly Father.

Bobby is survived by his wife, Sarah; his children, Laurie Green Franklin 
and husband Russell of Odessa, Texas, Leslie Green Graham of Warrior, Alabama,
