Gordon Lee Greene, 1940-2023

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the death of Gordon Lee Greene. Gordon founded Southside Building Center 35 years ago, then known as 109 Building Center. He was an amazing man, and we will miss him so very much.

A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held at 3410 Thomasville Road in Winston Salem on Monday, February 13 at 2:00 p.m.

Gordon passed away on Saturday Feb. 4, 2023 at the age of 82 at Kate B. Reynolds Hospice. He was born July 17, 1940 in Churchland, NC to Stokes and Leona Greene. He was the youngest of five children.

Gordon moved to Winston-Salem at the age of 18 and stayed at a boarding house as he went to Wake Forest College for a while. He worked at Lowes Companies for years, until he decided to go into business for himself.

He was preceded in death by his mother Leona, and father Stokes, brothers Vernon and Edward Greene, and his dog “Coco”.

Those left to cherish his memories are his beloved ex-wife, Barbara Greene, two sons Jonathan S. Greene and wife Sara Greene from Winston Salem, Andrew Greene from Winston Salem and six grandchildren, one sister, Evelyn Arndt of Hickory, one brother, James Greene of Moravia, N.Y.

Gordon loved playing cards and chess with his friends and loved going to the auctions to see what deals he could get. He will be missed by all who knew him.
