We will always remember Murray’s positive attitude, smile and laughter. For him , life’s glass was always (at least) half full. He appreciated everything he had, particularly his long successful marriage, his children and grandchildren and his friends and extended family. Cynthia, Shari,Lisa and Jill we are sad that we can’t be with you in person to offer our support and love and to share so many good memories.

We joined you in saying a loving farewell to sweet Murray. As Shari noted, he was the ultimate positive person. We have so many happy memories of him such as the four of us spending a four hour dinner in Bellair Beach laughing until our sides ached. Then there was the special birthdays at our home for Murray and John, James, Jack where, of course, there was more laughter. So dear Cynthia and the whole Greenberg mishpacha, his name is and always will be a blessing. Much love, John, Rochelle

Dear Cynthia and family. I am so saddened to hear of Murray's passing. I can think back over 30 + years when I first met Murray, Cynthia and family, There were many times when Murray and I would speak, although due to a mutual need regarding one of his members and their family in need of service, we were always able to look at the brighter side of life, Murray had a great take on life, always a quick funny response and a great smile to go with it. May his memory be truly a blessing. Philip Belanger - Steeles Memorial Chapel

Dear Greenberg family, We share in your sorrow in the loss of Murray G. I was honored to have a wonderful relationship with Murray through Real Estate, Shaarei Shomayim and a couple of big wins on Heavy weight title fights. Spreading his warmth with each smile , he quickly put one at ease. He always had a question about my family and home in Jerusalem as soon as I walked into the Downstairs minyan a few times a year. He always had a decent joke. I liked Murray very much and I will miss him. May God comfort you among the mourners of Zion in Jerusalem ...May we all share warm memories of Meir Zeilig ben Reuven David vChana as a blessing. Robert and Julea Gasner Jerusalem
