John Franklin Green

WEST CORNWALL —John Franklin Green died Nov. 2, 2023, in New York after a series of health setbacks early in 2023.

John was born on June 2, 1941, in Sutherland, Virginia, to Frank and Mildred Green.

He attended the University of Richmond, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in accounting in 1962.  Following a tour of duty in the United States Army, John moved to New York City to begin a career with the accounting firm Peat, Marwick, Mitchell (now KPMG), where he worked as a partner until retirement. His employment at Peat included a three-year stint at the company’s Milan, Italy offices from 1972 to 1975.

Beginning in 1977, John split his time between his house in Brooklyn, New York, and his newly acquired weekend home in West Cornwall, Connecticut, where he established full-time residence in 2012.  Always generous with his time, John worked tirelessly on town committees (including several terms as Town of Cornwall Treasurer) and on local boards, especially the Chore Service of Northwestern Connecticut.

John maintained an apartment in Manhattan until his death, enjoying the city and all of the cultural amenities it offers.

Calling hours will be held on Monday, Nov. 6, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Kenny Funeral Home, 41 Main Street, Sharon, Connecticut. A private burial will be held at the West Cornwall Cemetery on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023.

John was predeceased by his parents and his sister Charlotte. He is survived by his sister Patricia, his brother Thomas and wife Francine, many nieces and nephews, his partner Rudy Rambarran, friends Tom Bechtle and Don Bachman, and many other relatives and friends. He will be dearly missed by all.
