STEVEN GREENE Obituary

GREENE, Steven Terry Steven Terry Greene, 76, of Wayland, MA, died unexpectedly on August 23, 2025. His sudden passing has left an immeasurable void for his family, friends and all who loved him. Born on December 23, 1948 to Milton and Esther, Steve grew up in Dartmouth, MA, with his brothers, Dennis and Rick. He went on to graduate from Dartmouth High School, Lafayette College, and Northeastern University School of Law. Steve's greatest devotion was to his family. He shared 40 wonderful years of marriage with his wife, Sylvia, and was a proud father to his sons, Max and Jacob, and father-in-law to Caroline. His heart was fullest as "Poppy" to his grandson, Nathan, with whom he shared a special bond. He was a loving uncle to Alexandra, Beth, Benjamin, Sophie, Zach and Ariel and brother-in-law to Eileen, Sam, Sarah, Stanley and Susan. Steve dedicated his professional life to the practice of law, building a remarkable 47-year career as a partner at Riemer & Braunstein LLC. He was deeply respected for his integrity, sharp mind, and tireless work ethic, qualities that earned him the admiration of colleagues and clients alike. Steve treasured his friendships throughout every stage of his life. From his childhood days in Dartmouth and New Bedford, to his brothers at Pi Lambda Phi, to his golf partners and the many colleagues and classmates he met through college, law school, and his long legal career, Steve built lasting connections wherever he went. Steve had a gift for making people laugh in any circumstance, brightening countless moments with his wit and humor. He loved spending time on the golf course, reading a good book, browsing the library, and watching classic movies. But above all, his family remained his pride and joy, and his loyalty to them knew no bounds. Steve will be remembered for his laughter, his love, and his unwavering devotion to family; a legacy that will live on through all who had the privilege of knowing him. A Funeral Service will be held at Temple Shir Tikva, 141 Boston Post Road, (Rt. 20) Wayland, MA on Wednesday, August 27, at 10:30 AM ET, followed by the Burial at Beit Olam East Cemetery in Wayland, MA. Sylvia, Max, and Jake will be holding a shiva call for family and friends at their home in Wayland, MA on Wednesday, August 27, from 6-8pm and Thursday, August 28, from 4-7 PM. Remembrances may be made to Friends of Wayland Free Public Library, waylandlibrary.org Please visit shirtikva.org to view livestreaming of the Funeral Service.

Steve and I were partners at Riemer & Braunstein, and friends even before my joining the firm. As his picture shows, there was a kindness, civility and comradeship about Steve that I always appreciated. Whether talking about a case, our lives or public affairs, you had his full attention. Indeed, one thing we particularly liked was to discuss mystery authors we enjoyed and what new ones the other might want to know about. My condolences to Sylvia and Steve's family.
