In 1968, he was sworn in by the U.S. Supreme Court to enable him to present cases at that Court.
Greene was Vice President, Taxes, Metromedia, an American media company. Ken was an active member of the Tax Executive Institute. Kenneth was elected twice as a board member to the Bloomfield NJ School Board and was eventually elected as VP of the Board.

A true renaissance man, Kenneth was an avid woodcarver who always carried his beloved miniature copy of the U.S. constitution in his shirt pocket. He loved everything about trees. He was a dog lover and passionate reader of fiction, nonfiction, the daily New York Times, as well as scholarly works. He could discuss most any topics presented to him with anyone in a civil manner.
The family wishes to thank the Visiting Nurse and Compassionate Care Hospice for helping to care for Kenneth over the last few months.
