Alan D. Green, age 79, of Wayne and Hopatcong NJ passed peacefully on Friday evening, October 17th, 2025.
Alan was born in Manhattan, NY and lived in Brooklyn, NY until the age of 5 when his family moved to Bogota, NJ.
Alan served in the army from 1964 to 1967. Alan enlisted proactively and served in Texas until he was honorably discharged.
Alan met Joan Vorch at a bingo event in 1969. They dated for six weeks before Alan proposed and married shortly after. Alan just knew. Joan and Alan were set to celebrate their 55th anniversary this November.
Alan graduated from Thomas Edison College when he began work as an accountant. Alan loved working with numbers and the work he did as an accountant. However he hated tax season. He really hated tax season. Alan’s proudest highlight came early in his career. He loved to share that he had Clarence Clemons of The E Street Band as a client. He enjoyed going to Clarence’s Bar, “Big Man’s West” in Red Bank to sit back and take in the bands and atmosphere while he worked on the books.
Alan was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He loved nothing more than to sit back with a hot dog at Rutts Hutt and tell stories of his past to his children. The stories were always the same, but the passion and smile for them were always infectious. His grandchildren were the light of his life. Scarlett, Grayson and Luca always made him laugh and he loved sharing their world. Alan had many hobbies but his favorite by far was fishing. He always looked forward to his annual fishing trip with his two best friends, (or as they called themselves, the three ballerinas) to Lake Gananoque in Canada.
Alan is survived by his wife Joan, his son Jay, his wife Devan, their two sons Grayson and Luca, his daughter Joelle, her husband Jonathan and their daughter Scarlett. Alan is pre-deceased by Irving and Murray his two parrots.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that you take the time to hug your loved ones and never pass up the opportunity to say, “I love you." Or as Alan would put it, “you can call me anything you want, just don’t call me late for dinner.”
