Allen James Greenough, passed away peacefully on May 9th 2021, just a few weeks before his 95th birthday at the Fawcett Memorial Hospital in Port Charlotte, Fla.
Allen's early fascination with flight led to his first solo flight as a pilot at the age of sixteen, and, on May 9, 2021, Allen took to the skies once again and continued up into the heavens where his Mother, Father, and his six other siblings were patiently waiting to welcome Allen into their loving arms.
Allen's younger years and early schooling were in Sheldon Springs, Vt., and then to High School at BFA in St. Albans, Vt., while working part time at Nate's, a clothing store on Main Street in St. Albans, Vt.
Allen then enlisted in the Army Air Corp in 1943 and spent time in Germany during the Allied Occupation.
Allen was honorably discharged in 1946 and returned home to finish High School at BFA.
Allen then enrolled at the University of Vermont in Burlington, Vt. After his junior year at UVM, Allen married Barbara Griffin, RN in 1949, and he graduated from UVM in 1950. They celebrated 72 years together and had six children; two daughters and four sons.
A favorite pastime for Allen was to take his young and growing family on vacation trips to various campgrounds, and to fit in some golf when possible.
In 1957, Allen and family moved to Massachusetts, where he began a long and successful career in the insurance industry. Allen also attended night school at New England Law in Boston for a few years and graduated with a law degree in 1964, with his wife Barbara and their 5 young children in attendance.
Later in 1964 the family moved back to Vermont where Allen served as District Manager for the insurance company he was employed with until his retirement many years later.
In 1993 Allen and Barbara retired to southwest Florida where Allen enjoyed being a member of the VFW, American Legion, and Elks, where he and Barbara enjoyed many evenings of dining and dancing to his favorite Big Band music of the '40s.
Allen was predeceased by his parents, and six siblings; Norman, Helen, Bill, Molly, Ruth, and Ann.
