Bradley Greenberg Obituary
Okemos - Dr. Bradley S. Greenberg, 83, of Okemos, Michigan passed peacefully on July 26, 2018 surrounded by the loving support of his wife of 59 years, Delight, daughters Beth Morrow (Bruce), Shawn Leven (Jon) and Debra Dunn (John), sister Sherrie Sperling, and brother Marvin Greenberg. He courageously battled cancer for years, participating most recently in a clinical research trial for adenoidal systemic cancer.
A first generation American, Bradley's career included teaching and doing research throughout the United States and internationally. After over forty years with the MSU Department of Telecommunications and Communication he retired from Michigan State University as a University Distinguished Professor. He had a prolific career doing research, publishing ten books and authoring hundreds of scientific articles. It has been said that he may be the most frequently cited researcher in his profession.
A devoted family man, he has eight adoring grandchildren with whom he loved to canoe on the Red Cedar River, attend MSU Spartan sports events, play tennis, and relax at his cottage on Lake Erie in Ohio.
Family, friends, and colleagues are welcome to celebrate Bradley's life at a memorial service at 2pm on Wednesday, August 1, 2018 at the Kellogg Center, 219 S. Harrison Rd., East Lansing, MI 48864.
A gracious and generous man, he wishes any donations on his behalf be made to Michigan State University College of Communications Arts and Sciences:
