Gary Lyle Greene, 76, long-time resident of Cadott, and most recently of Chippewa Falls, passed away peacefully Sunday, March 18, 2018, at Mayo Clinic Health System with his family by his side.

He was preceded in death by his brothers – Lee Greene, Glenn Greene and Wayne Greene; sisters – Doris Christorf and Ann Hakes; brothers-in-law, Don Christorf and Vergil Hakes; sisters-in-law – Roseanne Greene, Loretta Greene and Karen Greene.
