Edwin Rosenberg
March 7, 1942 - January 31, 2023
Edwin "Roddy" Rosenberg was born to Louis and Anne Rosenberg in San Francisco, California on March 7th, 1942. He grew up surrounded by a large extended family and spent many a day cooking up mischief with his cousins and closest pals, Bobby Engel and Richard Mann. He graduated from Lowell High School and earned an AA Degree in Food & Beverage Services from City College of San Francisco.
In 1958, Ed met the love of his life, Susan Miller, whom he married four years later, on December 15th, 1962. Along with a close group of friends, the couple started their family in San Francisco, beginning with David and followed shortly by Mark and Sandi. Ed embarked on a career in the hospitality industry, but with a growing family to provide for, he transitioned to the real estate profession, becoming a successful investor and long-standing business owner of Anne Rosenberg Realty, a fixture in the West Portal neighborhood of San Francisco. He served as President of Congregation Sherith Israel and Board Member of St. Francis Yacht Club in addition to actively supporting the Jewish Community Federation and enjoying membership at the Concordia Club.
Edwin's joys in life were, first and foremost, his family, followed closely by his boat, "Sea Chef", St. Francis Yacht Club's Tinsley Island, skiing, cooking, and traveling the world with his wife and family. He was a stylish and sophisticated dresser - you would never catch him without one of his signature polos; he loved a good cocktail and was ever the life of the party. There was always a twinkle in his eye when he was happy, most often brought out by his family and those he loved.
He is survived by his wife, Susan; his three children, David (Liz), Mark (Eileen), and Sandra (Jared); his six grandchildren, Ally, Jake, Chelsea, Olivia, Hannah, and Zachary; and his sister, Susan Hladky, along with many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, February 3, 2023, at 11am at Congregation Sherith Israel in San Francisco. Contributions in Ed's memory may be made to The Stuart Brotman Fund at Camp Newman.
