So sorry to hear of George Greenberg’s passing. Soon after I moved to the Cascades and joined a golf group, I got a call from George asking me to take turns driving to the weekly golf games. I accepted not knowing George very well, but George soon became a weekly fixture in my life. Over a number of years I learned a lot about George. He would tell me stories about life in the music business in NYC . He played the trumpet and had a band in south Florida. He also owned a Deli at one time in Broward County. Also, he would tell me about his close friend Jerry Lewis. Jerry would invite George and his wife Roberta to Las Vegas for gambling and shows. George told me that Jerry would often come to his home for Friday Night Seder, because he loved Roberta’s cooking. Jerry Lewis could be difficult at times, and eventually had a falling out with George (like Dean Martin). George was a lovable character and had very salty language, but the stories he told me made for many entertaining rides to the golf course. RIP George. Larry Badian

Sad to share the news that our dear friend, George, passed away this past September.
I had been trying to reach George and Roberta ever since they suddenly moved away over a year and a half ago. Unfortunately, they were both having some issues.
I could not reach them as all of their phone numbers were no longer operative.
Gail Swartz sent me the following obituary notice that she had found after having doing quite a bit of research looking for him:

George was just a great guy. He was loved and adored by all of his friends and theater goers. He always had a smile and a Hello for everyone.
If you knew George you know that he loved the Cascades and often told you that he “lived in Paradise”!
When the Entertainment Committee, in the early 2000’s was faltering, George, with his past experience in the Recording Business, was appointed to take over the leadership. And what a success he made of our entertainment program. He brought down the cost of the shows, booked them monthly (sometimes twice a month), including the summer months (unheard of at that time), and brought us great entertainment.
His program was written up in the local tabloid and has since been copied and emulated by many of the communities around us.
I could go on and on about George but I will end this posting by saying that although he is gone, he will certainly not be forgotten!

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of George. He was quite a man. I used to love his stories he would tell Marty and me at dinner. May 

There is no one who made me laugh as much as George did. He was always a joy to be with with a warmth and kindness in him that was unmatchable. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. May his memory be a blessing.
