William "Bill" Neal Green, 61, Minot, died Saturday, August 5th, 2006, in a Minot hospital from complications due to Pancreatic Cancer.

Bill was born on September 13th, 1944, to Jack and Betty Jo (Lamb) Wilson, in Santa Fe New Mexico.  After living most of his childhood in Santa Fe, his family moved to the Las Vegas, NV area.  Bill graduated from Rancho High School, Las Vegas, NV in 1962.  As a young adult, Bill enlisted in the United States Air Force. He served for 4 prestigious years and was very proud to be a soldier. 

Bill was united in marriage to Christine Marshall on June 17, 1967, in Minot.  After receiving honorable discharge from the military, Bill went to work at White Drug in Minot.  He worked in the photo lab for several years before going on to open his own camera store, "Bill's Camera Shop".   When the shop closed, Bill worked at Dakota
Drug.  From there he went on to the Minot Post office, where he was employed at his time of death as a Rural Carrier.  Bill loved his job and the people on his route brought him great joy. 

Bill was very active in the National Rural Letter Carrier Association, and he was a current union official. He was an avid Atlanta Braves fan and enjoyed watching the Hendrick boys with NASCAR as well. Bill was also big into genealogy and discussing
politics.  Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, Brock and Madisyn.  They were his pride and joy.
