Lewis P Green

LEWIS PHILANDER GREEN, SR., the eighth of ten children, was born on April 13, 1931, to the late Thomas and Emily Green in Baltimore, Maryland. In the early morning of Monday, March 10, 2025, Lewis peacefully transitioned home at the blessed age of 93. He was affectionately known as Louie to friends and (Big) Pop-Pop to family. Louie grew up in Turner Station with his siblings where he attended grade school. He drove trucks overnight for A&P and Roadside for many years and was a member of Truck Drivers Local 355. Determined to stay busy after retirement, he started a second career as an armed guard with Garda Armed Services. He was a faithful member of Trinity AME Church and attended Sunday School, joining the senior choir and male chorus, worshipping until his health prevented him from doing so. He will be remembered for that boisterous tenor voice and his “Do It My Father!” outburst during prayer time. At the young age of seventeen, Louie was united in matrimony to Rosalee Steedley. From this union, God blessed them with two children, Brenda Lang and Lewis P. Green, Jr. who both preceded him in death. Louie was devoted to his wife, his children, and grandchildren and he tried to manifest that love every day. He spent his evenings watching the news on every major network and concluded with whatever drama series had the 8:00 p.m. slot. He enjoyed the many family and friend gatherings at his home, sharing his much-loved shrimp salad and special eggnog. In 2018, Louie moved in with his grandson Earl (Monica) where they cared for him unconditionally, around the clock until his last breath. Louie never missed a meal or a doctor’s appointment. Louie’s siblings Thomas, John, Earl, Annie, Augusta, Harold, Mary, William, and Wirt all preceded him in death. He leaves to cherish fond and loving memories: four grandchildren, Melissa Bradshaw, Earl T. Lang (Monica), Nadia Frazier (Curtis) and Gerard Lang (Alexia); six great-grandchildren, Marques Bradshaw, Bryanna Lang, Maija Bradshaw, Diana Frazier, Somaya Robinson, Gia Lang; one great-great grandchild, Ryleigh Bradshaw; son-in-law, Earl L. Lang; nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of relatives and friends.
