MELROSE – Leo Howard Green, 91, of Melrose, passed away on Oct. 4, 2020, surrounded by the love of his family.

Leo was born in Somerville on July 29, 1929.

He owned and operated the Winthrop Beauty Salon for over 40 years. He lived for his children and grandchildren, spending as much time with them as he could.
