Stanley Greenberg Obituary

Greenberg - Stanley, Dr., passed away on October 27, 2021 at his home in Jericho, NY with his beloved wife Lorraine by his side. Stanley was curious and fun-loving. He lived a big and wonderful life for 87 years, filled with fun, activity, worldwide travel, learning, art, and love for his wife; children (and children-in-

law) Cara and Eric Mitnick, Adam Greenberg, Gregg Greenberg, and Jennifer Polli; and grandchildren Rachel, Eli, Gillian, Rori, Lewis, and

Alexander. His love extended to his sister Sandra and his nieces, nephews, and cousins. Stanley graduated from James Monroe H.S. in the Bronx, CCNY, and NYU Dental School. He was a captain in the Army, stationed in Korea. He practiced dentistry in Jamaica, Queens for 30+ years, where he was adored by his patients. He had a second career writing "Over 60 and Getting Younger", a column in local newpapers syndicated across Long Island, and speaking to audiences at libraries and senior centers across the region. An avid NY Mets, Jets, and Knicks fan, he also played basketball, tennis, softball, and swam in the pool and ocean in Westhampton Beach. Stanley was an active member of his many communities, serving as vice president of Temple Beth Torah, soccer coach to many Hicksville American teams, teaching English to immigrants, poll watcher, and receiving an award for teaching dental interns at Jamaica Hospital for 45 years. Memorial donations may be made to Temple Beth Torah, 243 Cantiague Rock Rd., Westbury, NY 11590.

I remember Stan from my first reading at a Taproot meeting. He said that I needed more details. He was right and I still follow his advice.
He was a good friend writing about me, coming to my 70th birthday party and visiting when I was sitting shiva for my husband. Rest in peace, Stanley. My deepest condolences Lorraine.
