Green, from 1A the betterment of the town. In other avenues, through the Kiwanis Club, for example, Yates served Perry with distinction. In 1969 he received the Kiwanis Man of the Year award (an honor shared with Nannette who was also elected Perry’s Woman of the Year.) In 1980 he was the first recipient of the Seabie Hickson Community Service Award. A fellow Kiwanian, Cohen Walker, writes of his longtime friend, "Yates Green was an institution-he wanted the best for his community and he worked to make it happen. He was an exceptional citizen, a fine churchman, the ultimate gentleman -always smiling-always warm and gracious. It is hard to imagine Perry without him. He will be greatly missed." As a member of Perry United Methodist Church, Yates found other opportunities for service to his fellowman. The Rev. Billy Key, a former pastor there, offers this insight, "Yates Green was a very special man: a gentleman and a church man. He and Nannette have loved and supported their church faithfully since they came to Perry in 1944. He was a member of the Men's Bible Class and served on the Administrative Board. Both as a Trustee of the church and as a member of the Building Committee during the remodeling of the church, Yates has demonstrated the kind of exceptional leadership which brings people together. He loved his church, and he was loved by his church." Marion Brown echoed his words of praise and recalled the many hours the Greens had supervised the tending of the grounds and flowerbeds of the church and parsonage, or sent food from the Hotel whenever there was a need. He expressed appreciation, too, for the times they entertained the Methodist Choir and their families at the hotel after special choir performances. Yates also served on the Board of Directors for the Bank of Perry. Ogden Persons remembers his friendship, "I met Yates and Nannette over thirty years ago when I first came to Perry and stayed at the new Perry Hotel. I valued his friendship and loyalty. He was always the same and always a gentleman." Employees of the Greens take pride in the reputation of the Hotel and have a special place in their PUBLIC NOTICE The Houston County Board of Com missioners will hold a public hearing at 10:00 a.m., March 1, 1994, at the City Hall in Perry Georgia for the purpose of hearing any opposition to the closing of Rock Ford Road lo cated approximately 1 1/4 mile east of the Intersection and highway 26. Houston Co. Board of Commissioners hearts for Mr. Yates. Miss Elise Rogers, hostess for the New Perry Hotel for thirty-six years speaks for them when she says simply, "We loved him. He was a good, kind man. His employees respected him and considered it a privilege to work for him." Buddy Bell, who lived near the Green's farm and worked part time there, was even more emphatic about his hunting and fishing companion of forty years," Mr. Yates was 100 percent Anything he promised, you could count on because he would do it! He cared about all people and was kind to everyone." There are so many friends and each has his own special memory of this quiet, unassuming, gentle man. Perhaps Billy Beckham speaks for many as he recalls his father's good friend. "To me Mr. Yates was the perfect example of how a man should live his life dedicated to his family, his church, his community, his friends, his business-and thoroughly enjoying each. He was a fine gentleman who did more to develop and maintain the image of Perry through his own personal and business life than any man I have ever known. He was a very dear friend of my parents and through this association, I have known and respected him all my life. We shall certainly miss him." Surviving Mr. Green are his wife Nannette, and four bothers: Walter C. Green of Houston, Texas, Thomas R. Green of Atlanta, Robert H. Green of Milledgeville and Harold Green, Business Manager of the New Perry Hotel. Funeral services were held for Mr. Green at the Perry United Methodist Church, February 22, 1994 at 11 a.m. with Dr. Marcus Tripp and the Rev. Billy Key officiating. Chris Murrell was in charge of the music. He was buried in the Memory Hill Cemetery in Milledgeville with graveside services at 3 p.m. The family suggests contributions to the Methodist Children's Home, P.O. Box 2525, Macon, Ga. 31297.
