Peter Greenberg Obituary
Peter graduated from Cornell University and served honorably in the Army, where he applied his discipline and leadership skills both in and out of service. Beyond his professional life, he had a rich personal life filled with passions for the Opera, traveling to Europe, and sports. An avid tennis and golf player, he also cherished watching soccer games, especially those involving his children and grandchildren.
Peter is survived by his loving wife, Elke Greenberg; children, Andrew Greenberg, Thomas Greenberg, and Stefan Greenberg; daughters-in-law Ruth Walter, Daphne Liu, and Regine Greenberg; sister, Peggy Chodorow; brother-in-law, Stanley Chodorow; and his cherished grandchildren, Thalia, Ariana, Dylan, Tiago, and Luca Greenberg. He was preceded in death by his parents, David and Janice Greenberg.
Thomas A Glynn and Sons Funeral Home is assisting the family during this time. Peter's life will be remembered and celebrated for his contributions to his community, his country, and most importantly, his family.
We will be celebrating Peter's life and contributions on August 15, 2024 at Woodway Country Club (540 Hoyt Street, Darien CT) from the hours of 2 pm to 5 pm.

June of 1987 was when I joined the agency and first met Peter. A true professional who always had a smile. A dedicated professional who always put his client's interests above his own.
Heartfelt sympathy to Elke, Stefan and the rest of his family.

I had the good fortune to say, "Hi Mr. Greenberg" dozens of times in my life and I am grateful for that and his kind words. He helped make soccer possible in RVC and thousands of kids and families benefited from that.

I was priviledged to know Peter for the past 15 years. We always shared stories and memories about family. He was so proud of his family. Because I played college soccer, Peter was generous in sharing soccer stories. Our son John (JP) and our son Joe served as Captains in the US Army. Peter was always supportive and understanding of the challenges that they faced. His kindness and friendship will be missed.

I've known and worked with Peter since 1990. To say he was a gentle soul would be an understatement. Always a smile on his face and when he was having a bad day .... still that smile on his face. We used to chat about Eurocup and FIFA world cup at length between discussing client cases...try to guess which one took the majority of time :) He will be MISSED !!! My sincerest condolences to Elke, Stefan and the family .

When I started at Lenox I was assigned Peter's old office. He warmly greeted me and said I guess the old guys are in the cubicles and you young guys are in the offices now :-) I enjoyed our many conversations over the years and the friendship we formed. Peter was warm, sweet, and very thoughtful. He will be missed but leaves a wonderful legacy. Rest easy, my friend.

I've known Peter for 38 years, from when I started at Cowan Financial Group back in 1987. Peter was one of the young guns back then and was always looking to help me out and provide sage advice. He was a true professional and a wonderful man. 'Professional' didn't necessarily transfer to his tennis life, however. I remember winning the Cowan tennis tournament many years by hitting to Peter and keeping the ball away from the true professional, Elke. She tried to cover 3/4 of the court but to no avail. Peter always had the biggest smile on his face no matter what the score. He will be deeply missed and someone i will keep in my heart and memories forever. Rick Van Benschoten
