Joe Bob Green was born April 22, 1940 in Marlin to Riley and Pauline Jenkins Green and was a lifetime resident of Robertson County.  He passed away on September 6, 2020 at his home in Easterly, at the age of 80 years old.

He married Gloria Hanks Green on July 19, 1958 in Normangee.  To this union was born two children, Bobby Allen Green and Renea Green.  Joe Bob was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather.

Joe Bob was a hard worker and a great provider for his family.  His family was the light of his life and he loved getting together with them, watching them grow, being there for special events and playing a prank on them (or with them) now and then.  He enjoyed his garden for many years and was so proud of the huge tomatoes and onions that he could grow.  He was owner/operator of Green's Dirt Hauling for over 40 years.  He worked hard hauling dirt and doing dirt and dozer work for many families and businesses in Robertson County.  Many people will remember seeing his brown dump truck running around town…no signs on the side, but everyone knew the brown dump truck was him.  Joe Bob was proud to be a retired volunteer fireman.  He, his best friend-Milton Martin and a few others helped start the Easterly Volunteer Fire Department.  Joe Bob and Gloria also opened Joe's Game Room in the eighties for the kids to have a place to have fun and stay out of trouble.  He was a member of the First Baptist Church of New Baden.

Joe Bob was preceded in death by his parents, a brother-James Green and sisters-Laquita Williams, Carolyn Green and Rita Green.

He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Gloria Green, his daughter-Renea Green and son and daughter in law-Bobby and Melanie Green.  He is also survived by grandchildren and spouses—Jeremy and Lea Morse, Keith and Angel Green, Stephanie and Chris Sanders and Jacob and Bre Morse.  Also surviving him are his great grandchildren:  Landri Massey, Bailie Sanders, Leslie Sanders, Rance Penick, Laramie Morse, Creed Morse, Brintley Green, Lane Morse, Riley Morse, Hunter Morse, Sophie McNeil.
