Robert was predeceased by his parents James and Beatrice Green, his father-in-law Bill Walker, brothers-in-law Normand Philippe and Peter Hrabluik, his nephew Tony Nostedt and his cousin Donald Grobb.
Robert was born in Treherne, MB and raised on a farm in the Tiger Hills south of town. As a young boy he attended Pinkerton School and later Treherne Collegiate and worked on the mixed grain and livestock farm with his dad. When he was in grade 11, he left school to work on the farm full time and bought his first piece of land. While growing up, he was a 4-H member and a leader for the Treherne 4-H Seed Club. It was at a 4-H curling event where he met Betty Walker and they married on October 20, 1973. They continued farming with his dad until 1982, when they moved their growing family to Fisher Branch and established their own cattle ranch, which became G7 Ranch. Robert and Betty loved farming and took a lot of pride in the cattle that they raised.
Robert was a Councilor and Reeve for the RM of Fisher for 17 years. He was also a Board Member of East Interlake Conservation District and the Ashern Auction Mart. He enjoyed visiting and meeting new people and he saw the value in working with everyone to make his community better.
When he was younger, he enjoyed hunting moose, elk, deer and geese with his father-in-law Bill Walker, cousin Donald Grobb and numerous other friends. As he got older, fishing became more of an off the farm priority. Last fall, he thoroughly enjoyed sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River in BC with Mark Gray, Richard Wright and Jodyne.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, February 1st at 1:00 pm at the Fisher Branch Community Centre.
Memorial Donations may be made in Robert’s memory to the Manitoba Farmer Wellness Program at www.manitobafarmerwellness.ca or a charity of your choice.

Robert was a hardworking farmer! He was dedicated to the land he worked and the animals he cared for. Nothing brought Robert more joy than gathering around the table with his loved ones, sharing meals, stories and laughter. Rick and I were fortunate to spend time with the Greens at Thanksgiving We are so Grateful for the time spent together. We had no idea what a gift it was 🩷

Death is the heartache no one can heal, Memories are keepsakes no one can steal. Beautiful memories are all we have left, Of the ones we loved and will never forget. Softly the leaves of memory fall, Gently we gather and cherish them all. Planted deep in memory's garden And watered daily with tears, Memory has a magical way Of keeping loved ones near.
