Richard was born April 30, 1939 in Bradford, MA to George W. and Lorraine Villers Greenwood. He was a HVAC Technician for many years in the Massachusetts area before retiring to Raleigh, NC. Richard was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Bradford, MA. Richard, more commonly known as Greeni by his many friends and family, will be sadly missed. His humor, generosity, compassion and zest for life brought joy and happiness to those who knew him. His love of camping was second only to his love for his grandchildren. Grampa was always good for a hug, a laugh, a walk, or a huge bonfire. He was a hands-on grandfather, and was adored by each and every one of his grandchildren.
Richard is survived by his wife of 49 years, Carol A. Greenwood; son, Richard G. Greenwood of Farmington, NH and his fiance, Tracy Paquette; daughters, Cassandra A. Hogan and her husband, Sean of Salisbury, MA; Danyelle M. Rousseau and her husband, Daniel of Apex, NC; and Kerri L. Greenwood of Dracut, MA and her fiance, Timothy Jusczak; Richard is survived by 11 grandchildren: Tyler and Derek Beauregard, Jordan Greenwood, Parker Rousseau, Ian and Micaela Hogan, Rick, Aiesha and Ryan Greenwood, Jack O'Shea and Colten Jusczak, and 3 great grandchildren: Alanna and Shelby Beauregard, and Jayden Beauregard. Richard also leaves behind 2 brothers and 5 sisters, and many nieces and nephews.
