Jeffrey P. Green, Sr., 82, died peacefully on Tuesday, October 21, 2026, surrounded by his loved ones at Baystate Medical Center. Jeff was born in New Bedford, MA to the late Robert and Jeannette “Ginger” Sullivan. At 1 year old, his father was killed in Normandy, during World War II and buried overseas in Holland. When Jeff was four, his mom married Harold Green, who adopted Jeff. His love of horses started at 9 years old, when his parents got him a pony for the summer and he rode on the beaches of Misquamicut.

Jeff retired from Hampden Engineering after many years of service. He was prominent in the horse world, earning a “Register of Merit” with his palomino Leotion. Jeff was always ready to help “horse people” or kids get started in horsemanship and 4H. Like Terry Ferrara, who he helped start showing horses. Also, his younger cousin Maureen (Flynn) Strycharz got a pony from Jeff every summer and he would take her trail riding and to horse sales.

Jeff had a quick wit and “Irishy” humor that always made everyone laugh. He was a dog lover and had many over the years; Pete, Weaze, Kit and Frankie, to name a few. An avid NASCAR fan, Jeff also loved Stafford Motor Speedway, friendships and family.
