Worcester, MA – The sudden and untimely passing of Shawn Marengo, a dedicated Estimator at Greenwood Industries, Inc., has left the hearts of many scarred.

Following his time in Lowell, Shawn began working at Greenwood Industries of Worcester. In his time there, Shawn worked his way up from working in the warehouse as a delivery driver to becoming an Estimator, where Shawn’s knack for numbers allowed him to excel in his position.
