Firefighter Robert M. Greene was remembered as a quiet, unassuming, and dedicated member of the Boston Fire Department and Local 718 who sought neither praise nor glory, but simply worked to leave the job better than he found it. A U.S. Navy veteran and a World War Two U.S. Marine Corps veteran, he served as Executive Board Representative from 1972 to 1976, Legislative Representative from 1972 to 1978, a delegate to the Boston Labor Council in 1974, a delegate to P.F.F.M. in 1975, an I.A.F.F. delegate in 1976 and 1978, and a member of the Saint Florian Society. Among his commendations was a high commendation for rescuing an elderly crippled woman from a second-floor bedroom at 45 Franklin Hill Avenue at 0311, Box 3614, on May 30, 1975, and another commendation for Box 3442 Working Fire on April 29, 1975. Appointed to the Boston Fire Department on September 9, 1964, he died in the line of duty on November 27, 1978.
