Robert attended school in Van Vleck. Brother Green accepted Christ as his Savior early and became a member of the Berean Baptist Church. Later, he joined Bethel Missionary Baptist Church under the late Reverend L.C. Cunningham, Sr. After his passing, Reverend L.C. Cunningham, Jr. led him, and he was a loyal and faithful member until his health declined. Robert married the love of his life of fifty-three years, Margaret Woods Green, on May 29, 1955. Robert worked as a construction worker for Local Union 111 until he retired. While working for Local Union 111, he also managed Penn Funeral Home.
