William Henry Green, age 83 of Louisville, Kentucky, died Thursday, September 25,2025. He was born on July 15, 1942 in Munfordville, Kentucky. After graduating high school in 1960, he joined the Army. He graduated from the 101st Airborne Division Jump School at Fort Campbell, KY. After receiving his paratrooper wings, he was assigned to special services where he served many special assignments. Henry was a quiet, humble man but was very proud of his military service and that was the one thing he would talk about. Since his discharge in 1966, he worked for several prestigious companies such as Dow Corning, General Electric, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and eventually retired at the age of 75 form Humana as an IT expert. As a young man Henry was an avid runner. But as he got older, he had to slow down to walking and other exercises to stay fit. Sadly, health issues slowed him down so he was unable to make his walks around the reservoir.
He was the beloved son of the late James S. Green and the late Mary Kathleen Green.
He is preceded in death by his special friend, Joy Cabbage Carden; four sisters, Dorothy Mae Hodges, Bettye Queen Barlow, Doris Jean Reed and Connie Frances Jordan; three brothers, James Allen Green, Glenn Greene and Michael Green.
He is survived by one son, William Henry Green, Jr.; two sisters, Joyce Masden of Louisville, Kentucky, and Martha Green of Cincinnati, Ohio; one brother, Carl C. Greene (Mary) of Cave City, Kentucky; sister-in-law, Lula Green of Louisville, Kentucky; several nieces, nephews and other extended family also survive.
