Robbie Greenberger (1988 - 2008)

We are saddened to announce the passing of life-long Shore Leave attendee and friend, Robbie Greenberger. Robbie passed away on the evening of August 14, following a year-long battle with leukemia.

Many Shore Leave attendees know Robbie as the son of long-time Shore Leave guest Robert Greenberger, but to the Shore Leave staff and committee members, Robbie was more than just "Bob's son"; he was part of our family. We all watched him grow up along with many of our own children as part of the "Scooby Gang" at successive conventions. It's hard to accept that he's gone.

To borrow a line from Peter David, "Do yourselves a favor today. Whatever you're up to, at some point, just stop and take a few deep breaths of air and be appreciative of the fact that you're still alive, and that you have tomorrows to look forward to."

Friends may greet the family Sunday from 3-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. in the Spear-Miller Funeral Home, 39 South Benson Road., in Fairfield, Connecticut. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Monday, August 18, 2008 at 1 p.m. at Saint Pius X Church 834 Brookside Drive, Fairfield. Interment will be private.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Robbie's memory may be made to The Tommy Fund for Childhood Cancer, Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital, 20 York Street, New Haven, CT 06511-3202 (http://www.tommyfund.org/).
