Leonard David Greenidge

LEONARD DIVID GREENIDGE, son of the late Emanuel and Theodora Greenidge, was born on November 13, 1941 at Windsor Forest, St. Davids Grenada, West Indies. Leonard had a friendly and outgoing personality. He went out of his way to help anyone who needed help. He received his education at St. Theresa Roman Catholic School in Grenada. After completion of his education, he worked at the Bank of Nova Scotia for many years. In August of 1968, Leonard and Wilhelmina Gloria got married at St. Dominic Roman Catholic Church in Grenada. They had four children during this marriage, three sons and a deceased daughter, Nedra. He then moved on to be an insurance salesman and because of his personality, he was very successful in this field. He always wanted the best for his family, so after a few years, he started his own wholesale business, which was very rewarding. He was very active in politics, but because of the clashes and problems around the time of the revolution in 1979, he decided to move to the United States to secure and provide a better life for his family. Upon his arrival, he was employed by Giant Food as a security officer because of his good work ethics and personality, he was liked by his co-workers and supervisors. He received many outstanding merits and awards, including the Presidential Award. His service was interrupted due to an injury he suffered in 1988, which changed his life. He retired from the company in 2008. Before his injury, he loved dancing, raveling, sightseeing, sports and outdoor activities. He was the life of the party whenever we had family get-togethers. He was very devoted to his Catholic Faith. He attended St. Ambrose Catholic Church and was a member of the choir. He was instrumental in his sons being altar servers. After many years of declining health from his injury, he departed this life peacefully on Monday, November 12, 2012 at 7:00 p.m., one day before his 71st Birthday. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, who always wanted the best for his family. He will be greatly missed. He leaves to mourn: his wife, Wilhelmina; three sons, John, Andrew and Kwane; grandsons, Johnathan, Andrew, Jeremiah and Jamal; granddaughter, Nedra; great-grandson, Jonah; fifteen brothers and sisters residing in Grenada, Trinidad and England, including Agnes Segers in the United States of America; many nephews, nieces, great-nephews, great-nieces; daughter-in-law, Valaria Ratliff Greenidge; brothers-in-law, Theodore Cruickshank in Trinidad, John Cruickshank in Canada and Reginald DeCoteau in Grenada; also many relatives and friends. We will wish him peace and eternal rest.
