I work in CMS, where Steven worked for many years. He was a gentle, nice person. I also
knew David well. David and I went to the same schools, and were in many classes
together. I am sorry for your loss.

Steve will always have a special place in my heart and in my CMS memories. Post CMS,
he prepared me everyday with weather reports. Most importantly, we would text each
other through every Orioles game! We both loved our O's relationship and I will miss his
play-by-play texts. It was an honor for him to call me his friend and to have him as mine. I
miss him terribly already. He was a good guy with a special spirit!

Steve was one of the most caring and kind people I had the honor to call friend. I will

My condolences to the Greenberg family. Steve was a card and always kept me laughing.
The time he told me my skirt was too short was the one day that I became upset with him
but he was right. To know him was to love him.

Jacob and Miriam, I am so sorry for the loss of your Uncle Steve. I will always remember
his love for both of you, his rhymes, and how he enjoyed his shows like Mr. Ed and Patty
Duke. It was a pleasure to know him. My thoughts and prayers go out to you during this
difficult time.

Steve was a treasure I'll always cherish. I will always remember being "The Pratt"....I will
miss his kindness and rhyming humor. After retirement (both of ours) he continued to
stay in touch and share his activities and lunch dates with friends and visits to CMS. We
texted constantly last fall about his love of baseball and the exciting playoffs. He kept me
routinely kept me posted about how long he'd been retired and how much he enjoyed it.
When I traveled he always asked that I let him know when I was home safe. Steve was
family. What an honor and privilege to have had him in my life. I'm so sorry for our loss....

So sad to hear of Steve's passing. He had a good sense of humor and always took time to
chat about what was going on and topics of interest.

Steve blessed the lives of his work family. We loved his humor, his rhymes, and the
nicknames he assigned us. Mine was "the Gin-Gin." I remember the day that he chided
Angela for wearing her short skirt (see her post) and there was the time I said "Hey
Steve, we match! We're both wearing pink shirts!" He said "No we don't. Your shirt is
peach." One of my favorite memories was the day I told him we needed to meet to discuss
a special project. (He loved non-routine work.) I will never forget his response. "I'm eager
to learn about it." Eager? Who says that? .... Our Steve! He brought us so much joy. And
when he retired, he learned to text and attach photos. Well, let the games begin. He
cracked us up. He had a network of text buddies. I remember trying to teach him to save
information in the address book. He didn't want to. He simply memorized EVERYONE'S
phone number. I could go on. The short of it is that we love you, Steve. Your love
enriched us so. Thank you for all you taught me. I will never forget you. Enjoy your
second retirement in God's peace. Xxoo

Hello Friends: I have known Steve Greenberg as a CMS colleague and friend since April
2000. I first met Steve when I noticed him saving in the South Building's men's restroom
and commented, "Boy, that's a nice razor!" He replied, "Well, it's from Family Dollar, and
I got a good deal on it." That was the beginning of a good, long standing friendship!
As others have noted, Steve had a wonderful sense of humor. He loved it when folks
would imitate President John Kennedy, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, and President
Richard Nixon. He, too, could attempt very good imitations of these individuals, which
engendered a good many laughs! Steve was a devotee of the old classic TV shows, such
as "Mr. Ed," "The Donna Reed Show," "Hazel," etc., and loved to talk about them.
I am so happy he worked so hard to stay in touch with me and other former CMS friends
and retirees. He really made a difference in our lives.
In summation, I will always remember my friend Steve with a smile, something he always
endeavored to create when you were around him. May he rest in eternal peace.

I had the privilege of working with Steve, and having him as a friend. Steve was special
to me because he knew how to make me smile with his compliments,stories,and funny
names he made up like "Randle the handle." I'm going to miss his rhymes, weather
forecast text messages, numerous phone calls and occasional surprise visits to CMS.
Most of all I will miss his smiling face, and funny sense of humor. Gone but never
forgotten.

Steve's gift was making me slow down during the hyper momentum of the CMS work day
& smell the roses. Come see the new picture in his cube. Stop & listen to his recent,
wonderfully silly rhyme or an observation about a colleague. See what a fantastic job the
seamstress did expanding the waistline of his famous green pants. How about them Os,
or the weather or whatever. Steve's light will continue to shine bright through such
memories.

Steve was a neighbor at 130 Slade. He was a kind and gentle person. He will be missed.

So sad to hear about Steve, who I worked with at CMS. Steve was always kind,
courteous, and effective in helping me no matter what the task, or how high the bar. He
was game to figure it out, and get the job done in a fun manner.

Steve was deeply devoted to civil service and took pride in his work. Those of us who
were able to see into his heart and appreciate the gentle, funny, loving man he was
benefitted far more from their relationship than he. My relationship with Steve
challenged me to step out of myself and foster the goodness in another. I am forever
changed. My condolences to the Greenberg Family.
