I just learned from my son Josh that Steven Greenberg had passed away. I read Steven's obituary and was shocked to see that it had been 11 years ago. I worked for Steven at the beginning for 13-l/2 years with his company Anametrics Inc. I loved working for Steven as well as Michael Scharf. At the time, I was friendly with Elizabeth Ray. When I left, I kept in touch with Steven, but not as much as I would have wanted to. He was a wonderful boss, friend and always there for me when I reached out to him. He will be missed even more now that I learned of his passing.
Steven Greenberg, you will be missed and remembered in my heart. You were truly a fabulous boss to work for and human being.
My warmest condolences....Pam Starr

I met Steven through a mutual friend.
what impressed me was his kindness and honesty. My friend asked what I was going to do in between castings in the City
I expressed I was currently seeking work Steven suggested I should consider applying at the Gramercy Park Hotel NYC as the rooftop held all year around events. I did just that and was so happy to work for this Hotel as the pay was Awesome the work hours were excellent for my day schedule. Steven was generous I recall a group of us wanting to go to The Restaurant IlMolino
we could not get a reservation even if we paid in advance, Steven made one phone call and we all dined at the Fabulous IlMolino ! this man was a nice person & down to earth. I remember when he opened 230 5th ave This Place was Gorgeous he treated us so sweet greeted us, introduced me to the staff and said this is my Beautiful friend! I've met people in his social class that would never become friends with anyone unless they are in the same social status and here I was being treated like Royalty by the owner of 230 5th ave.
Steven Greenberg thank you Always for being a gentleman.

I knew Steven during the 1970's and 80's. Our last conversation was in March 2011. He never spoke of his troubles, only how gratful he was for his life!

I worked for Stevie GB back in the 70's and 80's at Top of the Rocks...He was a man who used his words, wisely. His legacy is legendary.

My sympathies go out to those who were in Steven's life. I knew Steven as a teenager in the 60's and as a young adult. We lost contact many years ago but when my daughter showed up in New York he helped her out. Just like years hadn't passed. That was Steven...he was always there for me as I tried to be for him. It has been over 40 years and I still can see him in front of me. Rest in peace my old friend. Susan Gluck Grossman Barasch (long name)

I met Steven when I was 15 yrs. old through my older sister. When I was in my 20's, my sister suggested I call Steven.I was going through a tumultuous first real love relationship, and Steven gave me wise advice. Over the next decades, Steven continued to provide me with wisdom, kindness, generosity, and more. During the 80's, we were connected through the computer/electronics/film circles. I would often see Steven in a crowd. He stood out, of course, with his Ben Franklin look. When I made a film for the NYC Health Dept, Steven let me use his offices to film the city...graciously.
The thing, however, most glaring about Steven was his immaculate cleanliness. I don't know how he managed in those dark suits in humid weather.
After my mother passed away, I called Steven who was, although we hadn't spoken in years, sympathetic. His kindness was sometimes hidden beneath his seemingly distant exterior. The remarkable thing about Steven was that he was always "on top" of the most current news in electronics, medicine, politics, everything. He was remarkably smart and astute, often hitting the nail on the head as to paths I chose during my life.
When I heard about Steven's passing, I felt even more upset that it happened on a weekend...that was Steven's time.
I spoke with my sister who introduced us so many years ago. She told me that she would speak with Steven over the years, and he was always friendly, but tell her, "Alice, call me back in ten minutes." I burst out laughing! I thought that I was the only one he told to call back in ten minutes (which, by the way, could turn out to be hours!). I wonder if his phone wasn't ringing off the hook with people like me...calling him back in 10 minutes. Well, Steven, when we meet again, I hope we can talk for long enough for me to tell you how important you were and remain to me.

My deepest condolences to Steven's family and friends.
I had the opportunity of meeting Steven thru my friend Kathy Suhy in 1971.
I rememember years ago spending time with him in Boston.
He invited me as his guest to the Unicorn Coffee house when he was booking talent.
He was a wonderful, kind and smart man.
The last time I saw Steven was when I took him to brunch at The Friers Club in New York with my friend Henny Youngman.
I am so happy I had the joy of knowing him and now having these wonderful memories.
Rest in peace my friend.

Had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times for our company event held at 230 5th. Steven was wonderful, warm, terrific personality, he made you feel like royalty. My sincerest sympathy to all as it is a tremendous loss.

I was so fortunate to have been his driver for the past 23 years with all that will be said and written I can tell you that Mr. Greenberg was a super employer he will be missed by me immensely and many others who were fortunate to have crossed path with him. He has given me an education that could not have been taught in a collage any learning institution. Every Day and Night in the Rolls with him was a new course to learn {Greenberg 101)
When I had a personal problem he was there for me. He listened and advises on how to handle it. Sure we had spats from time to time, but it's expected in any relationship {Just like a marriage} He treated me well even sent food to me in the car on cold winter nights. And trust me for that I am very appreciative. Sure in the early years we were out all day and most of the nights. {Meetings, Pick up his Dates for Dinner, Clubs, Madison Garden to the Knick games etc.}
I remember so clearly the first time I interviewed for the Chauffeur position with him in his office a 30 Rock. Wow was I impressed!!!! Office was a bit messy and all I saw was his head and long with hair the rest of the desk was covered with the mountains of files, papers, and Magazines. I was brought into his office by his assistant. He made a hand motion for me to sit {he was on the phone} after about 25 min he addressed me, and asked me a few questions. How did I here he was looking for a driver? Do I take drugs or been arrested? Who do I work for now and why do I want to leave my present employer? Have I ever driven a Rolls Royce and do I have any moving violations and accidents. ? Do I were a Hat? Last Question was when can you start? The rest is History 23 years later.
He was very bright, quick witted, and was a driven individual, and always strived to do the best at whatever he set out to accomplish, I had the opportunity to see that first hand. 230 5th is only one of his many accomplishments. I can go on and on but for the most part the ones who knew him can attest he was a remarkable human being. I will miss him dearly, now I have to big voids in my life Hr. Greenberg and my Mother who passed a year ago. May he R.I.P.

I met Steven when in 1979 when I was 19 years old and had the pleasure of working for him @ Roxy's. He was an truly inspirational man who changed my life forever by allowing me to meet so many of my life long friends that share the same passion 'Roller Skating'. My Condolences to his family and many Blessings.
February 21, 2012
RIP Steven Greenberg!
Steven I personally would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating the one and only Roxy Roller Skating Rink! Yes, that Roxy, not Roxy, not 1018! The Roxy Roller Skating Rink! I spent some of the best years of my life on that hardwood floor skating and performing day and night! But Roxy was about more than just skating, it was about friendships and LIFE! We all shared our lives there for years and most of us are best friends to this day! Skaters are a unique group of people that keep music, love and life in our hearts and soul! I consider myself very lucky to have lived the true Roxy experience! God Bless and Rest in Peace! You are a true legend and man of great vision in my book, but most of all you were a real gentleman who always took the time to get to know and speak with all of us, your Roxy family!...Steffen Kaplan, NYC

Mr. Greenberg.. (he would say, "MR. GREENBERG??!!.. who are you? It's Steven. STEVEN.")
I will never fully believe that he is gone.
He reached out to Kobayashi and set the record straight on HIS platform.. the way he wanted it. Kobi and I will be forever grateful for his generosity and wisdom. His ideas of life and how to live it, are stained in our hearts forever.
What a huge loss for this city. What a huge loss for everyone..
but what a HUGE gain for all of us, that we were so lucky to have met him.
Our hearts go out to his family and the closest to him.

i came to know and appreciate the kindness and generous spirit of Steven Greenberg through his dear friend and companion, Elizabeth Ray. I will always be grateful that I came to appreciate Steven. During the few occasions that we met I enjoyed his conversation, and correspondence was usually a note of thanks for his kindness.
Illness keeps me from the funeral but I will spend the funeral time in prayer for Mr. Steven Greenberg, his family and his friends.

I came to know Steven Greenberg through Elizabeth Ray, his dear companion and friend. My contacts were few but warm. Mr. Greenberg was a fine conversationalist and I enjoyed the few times I met him. My correspondence was usually a note of gratitude for his generosity .
I will always be grateful, however, for witnessing the long friendship between Steven Greenberg and Elizabeth Ray.
I had earlier learned much of the history in his obituary through the years and I am glad that this splendid and generous man will be appreciated by a wider audience through his friends and the history in this Obituary in the New York Times..
Illness keeps me from the funeral but I will keep Mr. Greenberg's memory and his spirit in my prayers and in my heart during the 11:45 service.
Gratefully for a life well lived, Steven. God be with you.
