    Harold D. Green, of New Windsor, died peacefully on Sunday, October 7, 2015, following a short illness. His loving family was by his side; he was 80 years old. Born June 18, 1935 in Newburgh, NY, he moved to New Windsor in 1960 and made it his home. He was the son of Harold C. Green and Dorothy A.
