Obituary for Fred I. Greenberg
Fred I. Greenberg, (affectionately known as Uncle Fred), of Baltimore passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his daughter, Jill and son-in-law Eric and friend Michelle Bathel, on Saturday, November 12 at the age of 92.
Son of Albert and Rose Greenberg (Goldberg), and beloved husband of 59 years to (deceased) Evelyn Greenberg. Devoted father to Joann Kandel, Jill Goden; son-in-law, Eric Goden and (deceased) Scott Greenberg; and daughter-in-law Lisa Greenberg. Cherished grandfather to Andrea Kandel and husband Michael Schultz, Aron Kandel and wife Lila, Ricky Kandel, Zachary Goden and wife Katy Goden, Jobi Lynn and partner Matt Rambo, Brady Greenberg and Hannah Greenberg. Grandpa Fred to his great grandchildren, Eva and Sam Shultz, Eloise Kandel, Cooper Goden, Ben Goden, Jackson Goden, and Isaiah Rambo. Beloved companion of 9 years Marsha Perlberg.
Fred Greenberg was born 2/26/1930 in South Baltimore, an only child of Albert Greenberg and Rose (Goldberg) Greenberg. He grew up on Riverside Ave in South Baltimore with lots of family and mischief. He went to Southern high school where he met his wife, Evelyn Kessler. They fell in love at first sight with her ponytail swaying as she walked down the steps to meet him for a date. He spent his next 62 years loving her every day. He went into the Air Force and later graduated from University of Maryland in Speech Pathology. He went on to work at the Ridge School, a school for special needs. His summers were spent as a director of a summer camp that he later owned and grew to three camps known as Timber Ridge, plus 3 in Maine. He spent over 60 years at timber ridge where every summer ended with dressing as the chief of the Scatachamunga tribe and saying goodbye to his summer family. The love for children coined him the name of “Uncle Fred”. Everyone who met him was impacted by his wit, brilliance, and genuine warmth.
His children and family, helping those in need, Timber Ridge camp, steamed crabs, espresso vodka, living life to the fullest were some of his passions in life.
92 years was not enough in this world of this amazing man. His wit, mischief and teachings will keep stories going for many generations.
