It is with great sadness that the family of Eli Andrew Willis Greenham announce his passing on September 28, 2024, at the Notre Dame Bay Memorial Health Centre in Twillingate, at the age of 73. Eli is predeceased by his parents: Frank and Susannah Greenham; sisters Leona Greenham, Clara Hann (Almon), Lily Gillard (Eli), brothers Ben Greenham (Edna), Joe Greenham (Margaret), Hardy Greenham (Madonna), brother-in-law Eric Hynes and parents-in-law Violet and Clayton Hynes. Eli leaves with fond and loving memories his loving wife of 44 years, Inez; their children: Erica Azak (Damian), Megan White (Brent), his grandchildren Tory Adams, Eloise White, Judy Azak, and sister Hazel Hynes, as well as a large circle of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends. A very special thank you for the exceptional care provided by the long term care nursing staff at Notre Dame Bay Memorial Hospital, Dr. Andrew Hunt, as well as the staff at the Protective Care Unit at the Dr. Hugh Twomey Health Centre. We would also like to thank those that supported Eli while at home, Brenda Gillard, Mable Heath, Gillian Knight, and Sheila Froude, as well as Jessica Baggs, his very kind social worker. Eli loved being active especially in his favourite sports floor hockey and ice hockey. Eli also loved being outside cross-country skiing, fishing and later in life walking. Cobbs’s pond and Hospital pond were some of his favourite walking spots. Eli worked in Gander and Twillingate as a power engineer and made many friends through his hockey and work adventures. Eli had a love for animals, especially horses and dogs and had many incredible pet companions throughout his life. He loved to watch hockey and cheer for his Leafs. His kindness and quick-witted sense of humour gained him friends wherever he was and brought so much laughter to his family. Eli loved bird watching and making his grand-daughters, nieces and nephews laugh. Donations in Eli’s memory may be given to The Hospital Pond Community Garden Corporation, Twillingate.
