Don Allen Greeno

BRANDON:

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

Born on December 18, 1960, in Proctor, Vermont, Don graduated from Otter Valley Union High School in Brandon, Vermont, 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 loved to cook, especially his pasta sauce with sausage and meatballs, and he perfected the art of the fried Thanksgiving turkey. Don 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; his siblings Teresa Conway (Daniel), Jerry Greeno (Debbie), and Patrick Greeno (Beth); as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

The memorial service “In Celebration of His Life” will take place, at a later date, time and location to be announced.

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.
