Regrettably I have no photos available showing Dr. Green during his many years of association with the UWO Accident Research Team. This photo, taken in 1989, shows the team composition including from left to right: Dr. Alan German, Dr. Robert Nowak, Maridon Duncanson, Paul Tiessen and myself.

It is with some sadness that I learned of the passing of Dr. Robert Nelson Green. Dr. Green was the medical consultant for the University of Western Ontario Multi-Disciplinary Accident Research Team during the 10 years that I was involved with that team between 1980 and 1990. I recall him fondly as a man of great energy. While team members would be dully working on their filings, analysis of photos, computer entry, etc. every so often Dr. Green would pop into the office and things would light up. While he mostly seemed to be in hurry he was also willing to stop and enter into deeper discussions about philosophical issues of injury causation, seat-belt effectiveness, roadway barrier matters and so many other related things. He was the one who introduced me to forensic work outside of the research carried out by the team. Some official data about him is attached below.

We all have a life to live and for some that is more acknowledged than for others. Regardless, we need to appreciate that the greatest attribute of our lives is that others look upon our memory with fondness, regardless of what official titles and important positions we may have held. While Dr. Green was officially successful, more importantly to me is that I remember him with fondness.
