John Rickard O'Green
Born 02.06.22 in Eveleth, Minnesota and passed 12.01.14, age 92 in Traverse City, Michigan.
Raised in Detroit by John and Beatrice O'Green, then meeting his sweetheart Shirley in high school.
They married and he went off to help save the planet as a B-17 bombardier flying 32 missions….an American hero.
After the war he started in the automobile business, soon owning his own Ford Dealership in Farmington Hills, Michigan.
Shirley and he lived on Torch Lake until her passing in 1998 when he moved to Traverse City.
John is survived by sons John and Kirk O'Green, grandchildren Carly (Leen), Geoffrey, Johnny, and twin great-grandchildren Evan and Aiden Leen.
He taught us about honesty, generosity, kindness and humor.
In a final act of generosity he donated his body to Michigan State University's Medical School.
If you want to do something to honor him be generous to someone you don't know.

Arrangements were entrusted to the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home and Cremations services.
