William (Bill) H. Greene

William “Bill” H. Greene, born April 7, 1933, in Hialeah, Florida, passed away on October 21, 2026, in Hollywood, Florida.

Bill proudly served his country in the United States Navy from 1950 to 1954 during the Korean War, serving aboard the USS Perkins. Following his return from Korea in 1954, he entered the trades and became a proud member of Local Union 725. His commitment to his country and his trade remained an important part of his life and legacy.

Bill had a natural green thumb and a lifelong passion for being outdoors, always finding something to plant, grow, or work on. In the 1980s, he started his own plant nursery, a venture that became a lasting part of his life. The nursery kept him busy and doing what he loved right up until his passing. His love for the outdoors and his dedication to his work reflected the hardworking spirit that defined him.

Above all, Bill leaves behind a family whose lives were shaped by the years they shared with him. He is survived by his three daughters, Elizabeth Greene (Bill), Casey White (Ray), and Cindy Gustafson (Ray); his brother, Robert Greene and sisters Robin and Renee Greene; 10 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Bill was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Rachel Greene, with whom he shared nearly 62 years of marriage; his brother, Don Greene; his sister, Margie Brantley; and his parents, Ruby Grodi and Francis Robert Greene.

Bill will be remembered and honored for his service to his country, his dedication to his work, and the lasting legacy he leaves through his family. Though he will be deeply missed, his memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

May he rest in peace.
