John Green was the most positive person that I ever met.  I played sand lot football with Greenie and he was a leader and a winner.  I also bought 6 cars from him over the years and he always treated me like family.  I’m sorry that I couldn’t attend the service today but I was there in spirit.  Thoughts and prayers for the family from the Steinbaecher’s.

Cheryl, Kathryn, Danielle, Taylor and Families. I know today will notbe easy and I know John would want you to remember the life he lived and the gifts of your life he left you. You were blessed to have such a wonderful community minded husband and father and all his Canadian Cousins will miss him too. Bless you

Dear Cheri and family,
I met Johnny at Brookside in the late 60’s and what great times we had with the McCaskey crew.  John was always gracious when we had the turkey day games and it didn’t matter who won.  On to F&M where  he gave us many more outstanding memories. May you rest in eternal peace Johnny.
peace and love

Heavy heart goes out to the entire family. John was more than a neighbor and Toyota salesman, 5 cars from John, he was my friend. He was one of a kind and will be missed by everyone, self included. I can’t even write this without wiping the tears from my eyes. I’ve known the family for a long time and no longer in the area.

My deepest condolences goes out to all of John’s family and friends.  I met John way back in the 80’s when I started leasing vehicle from the dealership. John was always looking out for his customers and providing them with the best information in purchasing a vehicle.  He was honest, humble and a professional in his business. I enjoyed talking to him everytime I went back for service to my vehicle. He would always bring me up to date on his hunting adventures.  He loved the outdoors. I had my last dealing with him about three years ago and he was the same John I knew from my first contact with him. He will be missed by all.  Rest in peace my friend in God’s Heavenly Home.

Johnny and I attended elementary, Jr high, and high school together.  A nicer guy you will never meet. Even though he was athletic and popular,  he was kind to everyone. I’m glad I knew him. I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. My sympathies to his wife and daughters. My God give you peace and comfort in the coming days. 

April 26, 2022

Dear Cheri and family,  Its been years since seeing you but I’m so sorry to hear of Johns passing. He was always the friendliest and kind man.   I hope all your wonderful memories can help comfort you during this sad time. My thoughts are with you!     My deepest sympathy,      Cherie (Hogan) Donovan

To John’s family:  I was so very sorry to read of John’s passing…and such a beautiful tribute written to honor his life.  John was one of my first students at McCaskey.  I was fresh out of college and John was in my French class.  He was one of those special teens that one remembers because he was so charming and up-beat, had an infectious smile, was always prepared for class, and always willing to try anything.  He was so much fun to teach!  Years later I ran into John again when buying a car.  How great was that!  So happy I was given the chance to reconnect with him.  It was genuinely a privilege to have known him.  
My prayer is that God’s loving hand will help to heal your sadness and bless your hearts with His perfect peace.   Mme. Jackie Hagy

I am saddened to hear of John’s death.  He and his family lived next door to me as teens.  He was always happy and busy with his sports, his family avid supporters of his abilities.  I have fond memories of those times,but time moves on and sends us all challenges. Some more so than others.  Peace to all of his loved one’s. It sounds that he lived a full life.

I met John in 1999 and visited him at the dealership on and off through my career. He helped me buy three vehicles and was always kind, funny, and had a friendly demeanor. He will be missed. My thoughts to John’s family.

April 24, 2022

Cheri, Kathryn, Danielle, Taylor, and Family,
 
Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your husband, father and brother John.  Although my association with John was limited, I considered him a good friend. He lead by example in a way that most could not, or simply would not do. I truly admired his passion for life, his loyalty and dedication to his family and career, his ability to make friends, and to see the good in everyone he would meet.  A unique person who always left you feeling good about the conversation you just had with him. I remember numerous times I would see John at a local restaurant close to LTM that we both enjoyed,  and he always took the time to catch up. I remember telling John “you have got to be one of the hardest working people I know, selling cars is very demanding”!  John said “it’s what we do, and we’re the best at it”!  I always loved his confidence and desire to be the best at what he was doing. He always made you want to be equally excited about life’s abundant opportunities. Heaven has gained a champion, and we will all be better people if we learn from John’s great examples of how to live a passionate, positive and quality life. Rest in Peace John, you will be missed.
 
Sincerely,
Steve Martin

So many memories and all involve fun and laughter. Neighborhood parties and Pitt tailgating… OBX family vacations. Whitney’s first car purchase… what an amazing man, husband and girl-dad. Our hearts go out to his family because his absence will be felt but he will be remembered with love and smiles.❤️❤️❤️

April 24, 2022

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. My husband and I knew John for many years. I knew him from buying my first Toyota Forerunner and my husband knew him from working as a claims examiner. He was a terrific and upfront guy. We always enjoyed visiting John when the time came to trade up the vehicles. 

April 24, 2022

My sincerest condolences to you and your family, Cheryl. John was one of the good guys. May you be comforted by your many wonderful memories together. 

April 24, 2022

Perfect tribute to John.  I was honored to work for John for several years and he amazed me with his extraordinary amount of energy and his incredible ability to relate to ANYONE.  But his ability to relate was not superficial, he genuinely got to know people even if only for a few minutes.  You could tell because he would remember them and ask about their kids (by name), or their job, or whatever.  You had to be careful what you told John because once you told him, it was in there forever!  🙂
Relentless energy and enthusiasm.  Always had a smile and could lift your spirit in a heartbeat with a few personalized words just for you.  It was hard to have a bad attitude or be lazy around John.  His work ethic was infectious and you felt guilty if you didn’t at least TRY to match it, even if you probably couldn’t.
Strong as an ox but gentle as well.  He was made out of iron.  I enjoyed horsing around with him on occasion, playfuly wrestling while wearing a shirt and tie, and he had zero body fat.  Yet he had the softest hands ever.  Working a deal with John was always stimulating and fun.  I will miss the twinkle in his eye, the firm handshake as our eyes met, and how he’d flick in his hair in the back when he got excited about something.  I only saw him thru one lens (work) but I could see how much he loved life and I imagine he not only lived his to the fullest but helped everyone around do the same.  Absolutely a one-of-a-kind human and a joy to be around.  What a blessing to know him.  What I’ll remember the most will be how special he could make you feel, and he could do that to anyone he knew.  Need more John Greens in the world, but there was only one.  He touched so many.  Love and peace to his family and friends.

I’m Terry Rieker’s mom saw every wrestling match Johnny wrestled sat behind his parents really enjoyed those days he was such a terrific guy Rest In Peace John

To The Family of John Green:  My heart goes out to all of you with sincerest & heartfelt sympathy.  I first met John at Lancaster Toy in 1984 to purchase my first car with them.  When walking in, I asked for Jack Arment (who gave me directions to LTM but was not there that day), so John helped me process the entire sale; then still gave Jack the credit; something to me that was unheard of in the “sales world” & was highly impressed.  I owe John for my being a loyal customer of LTM ever since.  John had a fantastic personality & always made you feel like family & friend as if he knew you forever.  I know between family, friends & co-workers at LTM, he will be sadly missed by all.   God bless all of you at this very sad time as this is a great loss to all.  Sincerely, Sue Harris, Reading, PA

What a beautiful and such an accurate story of John and who he was!   My prayers are with all of you now and in the days and weeks to come!  I was blessed to call him a friend and a sweet brother-in-law years ago.  He was always there for me.  I will never forget seeing him at my brothers funeral, a very long line, taking off work. Which I know was hard for him to get away and representing the family during my loss.  It is something that touched my heart deeply and I will never forget it!   Was blessed to know him as we all were!  Xo   

April 23, 2022

My deepest sympathy for your loss.  I lived next door to the Greens and remember going to John’s wrestling matches at McCaskey.  After I moved to California my Mom bought a car from John and told me what a great help he was to her in the purchase.  The Reservoir Street neighborhood was a great one to grow up in!  Linda Thompson McFarlen

I first met Johnny our sophomore year at JP McCaskey 1971. We played football together. I then chose to specialize with basketball while Johnny continued to excel at multiple sports. He was a multi-talented athlete and star quarterback.
Over the years since our high school days, our paths would occasionally cross. We always found time to say hi & do a little reminiscing. It was always a cheerful conversation no matter how long or short. I know he found the love of his life during our high school years. Cheryl, I am very sorry for your loss. I hope you take some comfort knowing that he is now at peace. The world is now missing a really good guy. He will always be fondly remembered by many he touched.

John was a wonderful man I met and got to know working for Mazda as a District Manager and calling on the dealership. God Bless his family, my sincere condolences.

April 22, 2022

Prayers and heartfelt sympathy to Cheri and all of the family.  He lit up any room he entered, not by being the center but by beaming his good will and care on you.  Many of my early life memories include Johnny, whether following him in a sport or laughing silly at his antics at a family party.   He was a very special man and it was a blessing to know him.  

April 22, 2022

Such a well written obituary. You captured the essence of Johnny very nicely. I first met Johnny at football practice when I was in 9th grade and he was in 7th grade at Lincoln. I am one of those 6th Warders who played many sports with Johnny. I was also fortunate to spend 9 days with him in Oakland in 1975. And, I went to Shippensburg with Cheri. I am praying for your comfort as you celebrate his life and mourn for the loss.

April 22, 2022

John was the most amazing Man i have ever met..I knew him for over 45 years and worked and vacationed with him and Cheri. He helped so many people when they were tossed aside by others, and i witnessed this time and time again. I loved this man and i hope as I to be as much like him as i can be for the rest of my days.  RIP, my good freind. HT

Sending all our love to the Green and Hall families. I knew Mr. Green since I was in first grade. He was one of the most vibrant and pleasant people I have ever met. We are deeply saddened to learn of your loss.
