Mr. GRIFFITH. Madam Speaker, I rise in honor of Woodford McKee
``Mac'' Green, Jr. of Salem, Virginia, who died July 9, 2021, at the age of 95. Mr. Green was a businessman and a leader in the Salem community.
Mr. Green was born on October 31, 1925, to Woodford McKee Green and Ruth Maria Cloud Green. During his youth, his father received a job as a structural steel engineer that brought his family to Virginia. Mr. Green briefly attended Roanoke College and V12 Officer Candidate School at Hampden Sydney before becoming a Quartermaster 3rd Class in the United States Navy. He was honorably discharged in 1946. After returning to Salem, Mr. Green began working at H.R. Johnson Hardware and stayed for 53 years of service. He eventually became an owner and a partner.
Mr. Green was an active leader in his community through various forms of service. He served as a civil defense coordinator for the Town of Salem, a member of the Salem Lions Club, an assistant scoutmaster with the Boy Scouts, and a Sunday School teacher at the First United Methodist Church. He also served as Vice Mayor of the City of Salem for 20 years and chaired the Council Audit Committee.
Mr. Green is survived by his wife of 31 years, Anne Marie Green; his five children, Michele Green and her husband Robert Walker, Adrian Green and his wife Kelsey Johnson, Emily Green, Michael Green, and Mark Green; and two grandchildren, Michael Green, Jr. and Angus Green. I offer my condolences on their loss.
