Our Dad was born February 28th 1944 in St Louis MO to the late Grace (Parmley, Estes) Green and Garland Estes. and loved his
step dad, Hugh Green so very much! Grandma always said he was a leap year baby, really born on 2/29/44. We always had fun discussions about that and still are today.
This year is a leap year, Dad would have had his real 80th Birthday in just a few short weeks.
From our first memories of Dad, he has always been a leader; strong, loving, and the BEST Dad to me and my sister! Always raised
us to work hard, be independent and trustworthy. If you’re going to do it, do it 100 % was his work ethic. and oh yeah, the ROLLING STONE
DOES NOT COLLECT MOSS! Something he still, to this day instilled in his grandchildren and all 5 of them are definitely that, dependable
and hard working young adults. He was SO proud of his Daughters and Grandchildren and GREAT Grandchildren! (Don’t forget the GREAT part!)
Dad leaves behind his loving special friend, Judy. They made a life in Olney Illinois, Home of the White squirrels, he would be sure you knew that! He came back to St Louis often to visit all of his family and friends. The past couple years, he even joined our Saturday lunch club! He enjoyed talking and laughing about old times and creating new memories each day.
He is dearly missed by us: Judy, his daughters Mary Lynn Pillitteri (Tony) , Mariesa Ann Estes ( John) and his grandchildren: Ronald Brandon Twitty, Jordan Estes, Courtney Estes, Sydney Lynn Kell & Amber Renee Estes-Brooks. 2 Great Grandchildren: Layla Estes & Luca Kell
Please join us to celebrate our Dad; his life. the memories will never be forgotten.
