An Expression of Sympathy to the Family of Mr. Rufus Green
On behalf of the Taylor County Board of Education and the faculty and staff of the Taylor County School System, we offer our condolences to the family of Mr. Rufus Green. The news of his passing brought us much sadness. He held many positions in the school system with board member being the most recent. In addition to his work with our school system, he was a community leader and served as a county commissioner. Mr. Green will be long remembered for the kindness and gentleness he exhibited to those who worked with him. In his memory, we will be placing a wreath on the door of the central office. He will be greatly missed.
With our deepest sympathy,
Jennifer Albritton
Taylor County School Superintendent
