Dr. Greenberg volunteered his services as an eye specialist on the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles' Medical Advisory Board from 1975 to 2007. By evaluating visually impaired drivers, he played an instrumental part in helping keep Florida's roadways as safe as possible for over 30 years. He will be greatly missed by those of us who had the pleasure of working with him.

I knew your whole family many years ago when you children were all very young. Before Sharon was even born! I was your babysitter for many years, even before your Mom and Dad built the big house. You were blessed with great parents and I know you will miss your Dad greatly. I am so proud to know that you are all grown and have families of your own. I am sure you all made your Mom and Dad proud and they will always be in your hearts.

We were so sad to hear about Bob's passing. We had seen him recently and knew about his big 95th birthday party in Georgia.
I first met Bob more than 50 years ago when he prescribed my first pair of glasses, but living next door to him and Harriet for many years beginning in 2000 was a real treat for me and Jeannette. We especially appreciate how he came to the aid of our son-in-law when he fell off our roof when building our home. Bob was a very thoughtful and wise person, and I especially remember how upset he was after 9/11, talking to us and other neighbors about what a great nation America was.

As a former patient, I send my condolences to Dr Greenberg's family. He was a good doctor and a good man.

I was a fellow mediator with Bob in the Leon County Small Claims Court for many years. The two of us developed a close friendship discussing golf, politics, military experiences, dogs, and general life experiences. He was a delight to be around and a very good friend. I will miss him tremendously in our Tuesday Morning Court Sessions. Unfortunately I will be out of town during the week of his funeral which saddens me greatly. My prayers are with Richard and the rest of the family.
