Neil S. Rosenberg

December 4, 1943 – January 14, 2026

Neil S. Rosenberg passed away peacefully at home on January 14, 2026, surrounded by the love of his daughters.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Neil was the beloved son of the late June and Meyer Rosenberg and the cherished younger brother of William "Billy" Rosenberg. He spent his days attending Hebrew school, playing the accordion, and building lifelong friendships that remained close to his heart throughout his life.

Neil met the love of his life, the late Alberta Rosenberg, while working at G.B. Goldman Paper Company. Their love story was one of true soulmates-built on devotion, laughter, and unwavering partnership. Together they created a life filled with love and family, which remained Neil's greatest joy.

Neil was the best dad to his daughters: Andrea (Tim), Tara (Mark), and Jamie (Ed). He was a proud and devoted Poppy to Brittany (Nick), Corey, Brian (Makayla), Billy (Bella), Nicholas (Shauna), and Harrison, and a loving great-grandfather to Hudson, Jack, Owen, and Mallorie.

Neil treasured time spent with his family above all else. His love of cooking was well known-he once owned a pizza shop and a Jewish deli, and he took great pride in feeding those he loved. He also enjoyed playing blackjack at the casino and traveling to his favorite destination, Atlantis in the Bahamas. Neil loved to sing, especially songs by Neil Diamond and Elvis, often filling the room with music and laughter. Known as the ultimate jokester, he had a rare gift for making everyone laugh. He was also the person people turned to for advice, comfort, or simply a listening ear-always present, always kind.

Neil's legacy lives on through the laughter he created, the music he shared, the wisdom he offered, and the deep love he had for his family. He will be profoundly missed and forever remembered.

Family and friends are invited to attend Neil's visistation on Saturday, January 24, 2026, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM at Louis A. DiGiacomo Funeral Home, 1055 Southampton Road, Philadelphia, PA 19116, where the Funeral Service will follow at 12:00 PM. Entombment at Forest Hills Cemetery, Huntingdon Valley, PA.

Neil was born just 5 days before my dad and they grew up together on Souder Street. They maintained a lifelong friendship and my dad always looked forward to reconnecting with him over a meal. My sincerest condolences go out to his family, who clearly loved him very much.
