Dear Greenspun Family,

So sorry to find the passing of your loved one. I was a PT working at Wilmington Rehab late 1990s-early 2000s and will never forget Dr.Greenspun! Blessed to work under this wonderful, intelligent and fun personality- I only remember one of his cute toileting success jokes that I share to this day with my inpatients (which, of course, he is credited for)! May your family know he is well-remembered and may he rest in peace! Miss him.

My deepest condolences to the Greenspun family. Dr. Greenspun will be sadly missed. He was a awesome doctor during his tenure at the Wilmington Hospital Rehab unit. Dr. Greenspun had an enormous appetite he was always looking for food to eat. He had an amazing sense of humor as well.

My sincerest condolences to the Greenspun family. I have fond memories of working with Dr. Greenspun at Wilmington Rehab. He was a kind and friendly practitioner who took great interest in others. He also had a fun sense of humor and we had many laughs, especially about politics. May your memories bring you comfort at this difficult time.
