When you feel like it, Self Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson is as inspirational an essey as has ever been written, and I often cling to the wo words that say it all from this classic….”Trust Thyself”.

peace.

Let me tell you about the Kenny Green I remember, My mom and Kenny started dating when i was 5.When i was 6 he moved my mom and I from a bad neighborhood in Bridgeport Ct. to his lovely home in West Palm Beach Florida. My mom and I went from eating TV dinners to 3 course meals. I felt like I had won the lotto.We spent 10 years with Kenny Green, and in that ten years he taught me so much. He taught me respect and morals and most of all he taught me how to be a man. Kenny treated me like his own son.
There is a lot of speculation on how he treated Hunter and let me say, I was there for it all. Hunter and I had a childhood most kids can only dream of. We had wave-runners, Paintball guns, motor scooters, anything we could possibly want. We even had a real arcade set up in the garage.Whatever we wanted we got, money was no object. Kenny would do anything to make us happy and make sure we were never bored.We would do some of the craziest things, like playing paintball inside the house. Or playing night golf through the neighborhood, banking shots off the neighbors garage through the fence and into the garbage can. Green has an amazing trick shot.He used to bring us to golf tournaments all over the country. Despite the stress of the game he would make sure Hunter and I were having fun no matter what. I remember going to Vegas for tournaments. Hunter and i ran around the mirage hotel like we owned it with VIP badges around our necks, we played golf in the hallways, And we spent countless hours playing video games at treasure island and Caesars palace. It was an unreal Experience. Kenny never once raised a hand to us. Yea when we screwed up we got in trouble, but we never got hit. We got sent to our rooms, where we had tons of video games and toys to play with so we really weren’t upset.Kenny has had quite a battle with hunters mom. I remember she used to drop Hunter off and an hour later the cops would be taking him from us because she would call the cops and make false police reports saying he was beat and hated it there. But it was all a lie, he always had a smile on his face.She made Hunter hate his father.I remember hearing her on the phone telling him to run away. I remember one day i was skating in the driveway and Hunters mom and 2 other kids drove by and shot me with a pellet gun.. Ellen and her 2 other kids are the most sinister people i have ever met, They would break into our house all the time and steal our stuff. I remember them going trough our garbage every week despite us shredding all our papers and putting dog poop in the garbage. She would show up to court with taped together documents that smelled like crap..They are just evil people.I know karma one day will catch up with them.Kenny is a great father.He spent thousands of dollars and tons of courtroom hours battling to see hunter,He loves his kids!He is a great father its a shame Ellen never gave him a chance.Ken Green is my role model.
Kenny I never got to thank you for the things you did for me and showed me.It was the best 10 years of my life. You made sure i went to the best schools, you took me golfing at least two times a week after school and taught me the game.You introduced me to many celebs and athletes I look up to today. You taught me a lot of lessons. I have taken the lessons you have taught me and applied them to everyday life and now i own a successful Construction company in Danbury and still have a great swing.Its your words of wisdom that got me to where I am today. You don’t get the credit you deserve. you have donated thousands to needy kids and have held tons of celebrity fund raisers to raise money. You are the strongest and most kind man I have ever met. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the accident let alone this.You don’t deserve this. You are a great man and you are a hero. You have to keep your head up. We are counting on you to stay strong..My thoughts and prayers are with you.If there is anything i can do please don’t hesitate to call.God bless you..
Sincerely- Joseph Doceti Jr.

I would not be here today if it wasn’t for Kenny Green. New years 95′ we were having go cart races around the neighborhood and i wanted to take one last lap as i rounded a corner the cart flipped and the steering wheel went into my ribs taking out a kidney and splitting my liver in half. When i awoke i was stuck between the cart and a tree. i crawled about 200 yards back to the house and i passed out from internal bleeding just before i got to the driveway. Kenny and his buddy Craig “the kid” were in the garage i dont know how but they saw me lying in the middle of the road, and immediately came to my aid the doctor said if i hadnt made it to the hospital when i did, another 10 min i would not be here due to the internal bleeding. Thank you kenny and craig for saving my life! I owe you both BIG TIME!!

I have a million memories about the time I spent in Kennys life, There just simpily is not enough room on this site.. Will be posting more memories and crazy storys!!

Love,

My Dad’s favorites were you and Fuzzy. Dad loved playing golf and I enjoyed playing with him. We used to attend the GHO in Hartford every year. He now suffers with Alzheimer’s and doesn’t watch much golf anymore. I took him to a Par 3 last August and he still played pretty well at 79 years old. Since August the disease has progressed so quickly that I see no way possible that he could play again. I am sure going to miss playing with my Dad.

You have endured considerable heartache for a long time now but after reading your blogs I know that you have God’s strength within you and will get stronger each and every day. You are a fighter and I know that one day in the near future I will hear your name announced as you prepare to drive off that 1st tee.

I will keep you in my prayers.
