New Windsor, NY
Charles “Chuck” T. Greeney, of New Windsor, NY entered into eternal rest on May 19, 2021 at Montefiore St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital, Newburgh, NY. He was 66 years old.
The son of the late William Greeney and Adele (Tullio) Greeney, Chuck was born on November 3, 1954 in Brooklyn, NY. He was raised and loved his home on Beaver Dam Lake and would visit his parents until their death. Chuck resided in New Windsor, NY and was also a part time resident of Owego, NY.
Chuck was a retired Federal government employee with over 35 yrs. of service.
He was an active member of the Black Rock Fish & Game Club and of the St. George’s Episcopal Church Cemetery Committee in Newburgh NY. Chuck enjoyed camping in Pennsylvania, visiting casinos, and was an avid history buff. He helped many older Veterans to find their medals and helped some to get into the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor. His greatest achievement was being awarded a proclamation from the Mayor of Owego naming a “Charles T. Greeney Day” for helping to promote the traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall several years ago.
A family statement reads: “Chuck was a lover of all people, animals and his God. He was a faith-filled person and always ended all his conversations with “Be Blessed”. Chuck was a giving person who was kind to everyone who crossed his path. His favorite saying was “How’s your day going?” He had a great sense of humor and was always willing to give up his time to help others in all ways possible. He will be dearly missed by all for his kindness.
