Although I never knew Mr. Greenbaum,

I have great memories.....from way back in the 70's..... of driving my grandfather down to "the tailor shop" on 40th and Cuming.



When I asked my Papa why we'd drive all the way down here just to fix his pants, the answer was "he's the best tailor in Omaha".

My sincerest sympathies to the family. Joe never failed to ask about my family every time I saw him in his shop or around Omaha. I can see him still sewing in front of that big window on 40th Street using the natural light from the Southwest.
