Roi Green, CCNY's Venerable Fencing Coach, Passes Away

Roi Green, the CCNY women's varsity fencing coach, whose career at City College spanned three decades, passed away on June 12 at the age of 79.

Green was well respected by the entire CCNY community and equally beloved by his peers and pupils. Taking over as the head coach in 1979, Green, who received a master's degree in education from CCNY in 1982 after earning a bachelors degree in social science from Fordham University at Lincoln Center in 1978, transformed the fencing team into a competitive and well trained program.

A native New Yorker, Green was passionate and committed to the sport, having been an alumnus of the George Santelli School of Fencing, at which he honed his skills from 1954-1958. In 1956, Green was a candidate as a first alternate on the United States Olympic Fencing Team.

His legacy will be one of an enduring mentor, coach, teacher, counselor and father figure to the multitude of young men and women he touched over the course of his fulfilling life.
