6/24/14 - One of Livingston Countyâs longest serving municipal officials loved people, had the gift of gab and a smile on his face until the end. Tom Green became the Deerfield Township Supervisor in 1996 and also served on the Hartland Consolidated Schools Board of Education for eight years. He owned Venture Corners Party Store since 1971 and was a retired executive for Ford Motor Company. His son Bill Green told WHMI his father had been battling cancer for more than eight weeks and passed away early Tuesday morning at the age of 70. He says his father was surrounded by family and everyone was comforted in knowing that he was at peace and happy during his final weeks. Green serves on the Livingston County Board of Commissioners alongside Dave Domas, who knew Tom Green well. Domas says he was a conservative, friendly man who did a lot in the rural community and everyone felt very comfortable in his presence. Domas added that he really valued Green's friendship as he was the kind of guy who never minced words and meant what he said. Visitation for Green will take place Thursday from 2 to 8pm at MacDonaldâs Funeral Home in Howell. A funeral mass will follow at noon on Friday at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Howell. Memorial contributions are suggested to the American Cancer Society. Complete details can be found through the link below. (JM)
