Gordon Roy Greeno
1932-2022
Gordon Roy Greeno CD
– age 89, of Berwick, formerly of New Minas, passed away on
Thursday, January 27, 2022, in Grand View Manor, Berwick. Born in
Mount Denson, he was a son of the late Gilbert and Jane (Guptill)
Greeno. He is survived by his wife, Eleanor (Langille); daughter,
Heather; grandsons, Matthew Greeno and Christopher Martin; sister,
Glenda Fielding; nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he
was predeceased by siblings, Lloyd, Alton “Jack”,
Kenneth, Cyril, Jean Hiltz, Greta Buckler and Stella Benedict.
Gordon’s employment history spanned 60 years. The 23 years
serving in the Canadian Army as a Military Policeman was the highlight
of his working experience. The opportunity to serve in several
provinces of Canada, Europe and the Middle East, provided knowledge
and confidence. Service with the military prompted a keen interest in
military history resulting in the reading of many books on the
subject. He would never attempt to hide his pride in being a member of
“The Fraternity of Canadian Soldiers”. One of his
expressions was “Soldiers – it’s not what
they do, it’s what they are!”. After retiring from
military service, he worked for the Canadian Department of Immigration
from 1980-1991. He later served as a Commissionaire with the Kentville
Police Service and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Wolfville. He
was a proud Canadian and was always most appreciative of those who
treated him with respect. Cremation has taken place and there
will be no visitation, by request. A graveside service will take place
at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 26, 2022 in the Elm Grove
Cemetery, Steam Mill. Following the burial, a reception will be held
in the White Family Funeral Home, Kentville. Donations in memory may
be made to the Valley Hospice Foundation on VON Annapolis Valley.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the White Family Funeral
Home and Cremation Services, Kentville.
Do not stand
at my grave and weep
I am not there; I
do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds
that blow,
I am the diamond glints on
snow,
I am the sun on ripened
grain,
I am the gentle autumn
rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s
hush
I am the swift uplifting
rush
Of quiet birds in circled
flight.
I am the soft stars that shine
at night.
Do not stand at my grave and
cry,
I am not there; I did not
die.
