Dennis Greene, a retired attorney and cherished family man, passed away in his sleep on August 14, 2024, at the age of 80.
Dennis is survived by his loving wife, Eileen; daughters, Alex and Beth; and brother, Steve and his wife, Sylvia.
Born in New York and raised in Dartmouth and New Bedford, Mass., Dennis was a respected partner at Mintz Levin, where he practiced corporate law for more than 40 years. He earned an undergraduate degree in engineering from Lafayette College, followed by both an MBA and a law degree from Boston University. Dennis was a gifted lawyer and writer, thoughtful, funny, and always ready to share a story or three.
An Eagle Scout and avid fan of speculative fiction, Dennis was known for his unwavering kindness and loyalty. He was a pillar in both his professional and personal circles.
Dennis resided in Wellesley for 45 years, where he was an active member of Nehoiden Golf Club, and served for a time as president of the Men’s Club. In addition to daily golf, Dennis enjoyed a fulfilling retirement of intellectual curiosity through teaching and learning in classes at the Brandeis Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (BOLLI). He loved his two daughters more than anything and was a beloved father and husband, always there to support his family.
He is remembered fondly by friends and family for his generosity and goodness, and for his never-ending storytelling. Dennis’s unexpected passing leaves a profound void in the hearts of those who were touched by his life.
A shiva will be held at the family’s home on Monday evening from 7pm-9pm, and a memorial service will be held at a later date, with details to follow.
