His original name was Lyon Himan Green, and he was born on February 15, 1915, the son of Daniel and Dora Green, he from Vitebsk, she from outside Minsk, both in current-day Belarus. The couple had met and married in the old country. Once Daniel had set himself up in Ontario, he called for Dora to join, shortly before the birth of their second son. (Lyon had an older brother who died in 1918 at age 5 of influenza.)
Daniel owned a shoe-repair shop behind the family home in The Flats section of Ottawa, near the Canadian houses of parliament. He specialized in making orthopedic shoes, and did good business. In her memoir about Lorne Greene, Linda Greene Bennett, his daughter, says her father recalled being set up with a shoeshine stand by his father in the center of town at age 11 or 12.
