Don Greeno

Don Allen Greeno, 64, of Woodridge, NY, passed away on September 13, 2025, surrounded by his family.

Born on December 18, 1960, in Proctor, VT, Don graduated from Otter Valley Union High School in Brandon, VT, in 1978. Shortly after, he enlisted in the United States Army, proudly serving his country for more than two decades. A veteran of Desert Storm (1990-1991), Don retired in 1999 with the rank of Sergeant First Class. His distinguished service was recognized with the Bronze Star, the Meritorious Service Medal, multiple Army Commendation Medals, and the Army Achievement Medal. Following his military career, Don continued his lifelong commitment to service by working as Equipment Maintenance Manager at West Point, where he remained dedicated until the time of his passing.

Don was a man who treasured both the outdoors and his family. He found joy in deer hunting, fishing, and tending to his garden, and he was a devoted fan of the New York Yankees. He enjoyed cooking for his family, especially his pasta sauce with sausage and meatballs, and he perfected the art of the fried Thanksgiving turkey. Don also enjoyed the simple pleasures of sitting by a bonfire. He never missed an opportunity to sing karaoke, play a round of cornhole or horseshoes, and-above all-to spend time with his beloved family, especially his grandchildren.

Those who knew Don will remember his generous spirit. His door was always open, and no one ever left without feeling like family-often with a warm smile and a drink of choice in hand. He will be remembered not only for his service and dedication, but for his kindness, warmth, and the way he made everyone feel at home.

Don is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Cheryl Ann Greeno; his children Corey Greeno (Jessica), Stephanie McGrath (Chris), Nicole Alleva (Eric), and Josef Greeno; and his adored grandchildren Amelia, Aubrey, Josef, Enzo, Luca, and Weston (expected January 2026). He is also survived by his parents, Edgar and Sandra Greeno of Brandon, VT; his siblings Theresa Conway (Daniel), Jerry Greeno (Debbie), and Patrick Greeno (Beth); as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Memorial services will be held on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at 11:00am at Lighthouse Ministries Church Liberty, NY. All are welcome to attend and celebrate his life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his name to the Wounded Warrior Project, PO Box 758516, Topeka, KS 66675 or online at www.woundedwarriorproject.org. The family wishes to thank everyone for their love and support during this difficult time.

Don's life was marked by dedication, laughter, and love. He will be forever remembered as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend.
