COLUMBUS, INDIANA
Tommy Lee Green, 76, of Columbus, peacefully died at 9:50 pm Thursday, February 4, 2021, at his residence surrounded by his loved ones.
Tommy was born August 1, 1944, in Columbus, the son of Charles and Lillian Alvenia Green. He married Betty J. (Goetz) Green on April 16, 1966.
Tommy graduated from Columbus High School in 1962. Tommy worked as a tool and die maker from 1962 until 2005. Tommy had many hobbies, however, he excelled at woodworking and gardening. He made several pieces of furniture for his church, St. Bartholomew Catholic Church. Recently, he made pens, jewelry, and lamps for his family and friends. Tommy was an avid gardener. He truly knew how to cultivate God’s land and enjoy His bounty. A man of many talents, Tommy loved fishing, camping, and go-cart racing. However, Tommy’s favorite hobby was supporting his grandchildren in all their sporting events and talents. Tommy had never known a stranger, as his big smile and friendly conversation will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved him.
