My deepest condolences to the family of Ralph "Putt" Greene, Jr. Ringgold has lost a treasure and we are better for having known him. Walk those streets of gold, you will be missed.

Praying for peace and comfort for the family. We will miss you .

Praying for the entire family. May God comfort you during your time of sorrow.โ€”Your cousin, Etta Hinton Herkley

He was the sweetest and kindest man I got to know. He always come in Fred's and get candy. I will miss him. Walk the streets of gold. AMEN

Mr. Greene a.k.a.Turn Around, spent his life silently making a huge impact on the small town of Ringgold, Ga. A quiet, gentle and kind soul, with few words, has this town in mourning over his loss. I can only imagine him walking with God on the streets of gold sharing the wisdom he learned as he watched everyone else hustling and bustling, as he took time to stop and turn around to smell the roses ๐ŸŒน. Walk in Peaceful Somber, Turn Around. You will be missed. ๐Ÿ˜ข My deepest condolences to your family. โค๏ธ

A song my mother love to sing was just a closer walk with thee. Uncle Ralph walked many miles during his life, I hardly remember a time that didn't walk. I can see that he was walking with God, his recollection sometimes amazed me we could articulate them. He once perfectly described the fight of Cashes Clay ( Muhammad Ali) and Sonny Liston blow by blow and round by round. He loved our family, he loved his Father and Mother, and he loved our very large family. Uncle Ralph you are now reunited with those who loved you as much as we who will be joining you someday.

RIP: Michael and Petra Hudgins, Venessa, Jorin, Liana Avon Kampin ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ›๐Ÿคฒ๐Ÿ“ฟ

Green family I know that there are no words that can bring comfort during your time of grief, but if I may be able to ease the pain a bit with these words of comfort, let it be these.. " Ralph was the best angel that God could have given to your family and the city, town and home of Ringgold, Georgia. May your hearts rejoice in knowing that he has entered into the Sabbath Rest of his Savior and heard those beloved words" well done good and faithful servant". I love you all and wish that I could be there in person to add strength to your souls......your friend Maria Miller
