Don Gruenberg

Don Gruenberg will be remembered as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend whose greatest pride in life was always his family.

Beloved husband of Alice Gruenberg and loving father to Ellen Gruenberg and Lisa Chalem, he was also a cherished father-in-law to Jeff Chalem. Don built a life defined by generosity, dedication, and deep care for those around him. Though he was a highly successful businessman and engineer, he often said that his greatest accomplishments were his children and grandchildren.

A proud and loving Saba, Don found his greatest joy in the lives of his grandchildren-Ben, Emily, Jack, Alex, and Sam-and in watching their futures unfold. Throughout his life, he took care of everyone around him, offering wisdom, strength, and unwavering love.

He is also survived by his dear sister, Leah Shoshani, her husband, Avi, and their children and grandchildren.

Don's legacy lives on through the family he cherished so deeply and the many lives he touched with kindness, generosity, and devotion.
