Upon his premature death at age 44, the New York Herald Tribune eulogized, “When Greenway came upon the field of athletics or war, confidence ran through team or regiment. To know why, to analyze the reasons, would be to analyze life itself, but some of the component elements all men know – courage, leadership, common sense, unselfishness, loyalty, mercy. All these Greenway had.”
