He was born in Skowhegan, Maine on February 29, 1952, a leap year twin, son of Pauline Green and Granville D. Green Sr. Granville Jr. was very skilled in many professions.

Granville Jr. was a strong, yet soft spoken man who was loved and respected by everyone that knew him, for his kindness, strength and ability to show his love without words. He loved sharing his knowledge with his grandchildren. He always told them that “it is good to know many things, but it is important to do them right the first time, so listen and you shall learn.” His love for his grandchildren brought out the fun, kid side of him. It is a love that will never end. He also enjoyed going for motorcycle rides, camping, and fishing.
