His Life
September 19, 2020

Hello Debra Summers has sent you the following message from the memorial website dedicated to Leonard Americas Greaver:

My wonderful Daddy, Leonard America's Greaver, was one of the best men I knew. He was born to Marcellus Carl and Edna Pearl Greaver, in 1920. He grew up with many brothers and sisters. Robert, Kennith, Thomas, Harry, Johnny, were his brothers. Birtha,and Reeda, were his sisters. They lived in Lost Creek area, called Ryder camp, on a 1 1/2-2 acre area, which had the home place, another house, and Grandpa Greaver'S store/bar, where they sold meat, snacks, soft drinks, beer, and other assorted items. Grandpa ran the store most of the time, but Daddy ran it when he wasn't working.
Later, in the 50s daddy was introduced to our momma, Blanch (Myers) Greaver. Soon children arrived, around 1958.

Daddy was a hard worker, and had many jobs that he liked, some he didnt, but didn't complain. He knew he had his family to care for. One of his jobs was working on a dairy farm, ( Stinger'S Dairy), in West Milford, along side is brother, Robert, (Pete). We always h ad fresh milk and dairy products, until the dairy closed, sometime in the 60s. Daddy went on to get another job with the, Clarksburg Country Club, as a greens keeper, and mechanic. He worked there for many years, till he became ill and retired. Even after his long work days, he would come home to many other jobs, consisting of mowing grass, planting gardens, tending gardens, mechanic work on his cars, lawn mowers, weedeaters, and bicycles.
He always made sure to keep the lawn and gardens up because he had no real help. We children were to small to know what to do.

I can honestly say he was a good father, provider, and caregiver to us. We were taught to listen to what was told, taught kindness and giving, and to go to church to be a better person. He always made sure bills were paid, then buy groceries to make sure his family were fed. I can't find on bad thing to say about him, except he drank a little, mostly on weekends. But don't we all have a way to wind down after a long week. We love andis you so much Daddy. . One day we will join you in heaven.. Love always
Your daughter,
Debbie
