Leonidas Perry Green of Hollywood, Maryland died on Wednesday, December 22,
2004 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Leonardtown, Maryland surrounded by his daughters. He
was 76 years old.
Born July 31, 1928 in Clay County, Georgia to the late Hortense Green and Leonidas Green.
Perry grew up in Clio, Alabama. After joining the service in 1946, he was stationed in the
Washington, DC area. It was here that he met his wife Katherine (Kitty) and they made
their home in Washington, DC and Prince George’s County, Maryland where they raised
their four children. Finally, in 1997, Perry and Kitty moved back to Kitty’s hometown
in St. Mary’s County to spend their retirement years.
He worked as a civilian for the Naval Research Lab as a photographer for 37 years. Perry
also spent his weekends as a barber with his brother-in-law. In addition, he was a member
of the Clinton American Legion Post 259. He spent much of his time enjoying the outdoors,
especially fishing and working in his yard. In his retirement years he was known to always
be found in his “workshop” where he was busy making something.

and her husband Michael Cladny of Owings, MD, Linda Nelson of Waldorf, MD and Nancy and
her husband Danny Brooks of Springfield, VA; brothers Frank Green (Jane) of Jay, Florida
