George Eisenberg, Massapequa resident and Republic airport employee
"He'd always have us sitting around him and he'd spin some wonderful tales," said his daughter Andrea Ingram of Middletown, Delaware. "And when his grandchildren came along, he did the same for them." Mr. Eisenberg, a World War II veteran, died April 3, 2008 at the age of 90. Born in Brooklyn, New York Dec. 27, 1919, Mr. Eisenberg was raised there. As a young man, he met his future wife, Sylvia, but his country called him to war. He served as a master sergeant in the U.S. Army from 1942-1945. Throughout those years, the couple wrote letters, and upon his discharge from the service, they married. They moved to Massapequa in1955 and raised their three children here. In 1994, the couple moved to Pembroke Pines Florida, where he died. Professionally, Mr. Eisenberg worked for a while at Republic Airport and then became a sales manager first for Times Square Stores and then Alexander's Department Store on Long Island. During his years in Massapequa, Mr. Eisenberg was an active member of the Knights of Pythias and Mid Island Lodge #828. He maintained his interest in his new community in Pembroke Pines, joining the Knights of Pythias Booster Lodge #132 there, and serving as Chancellor Commander in 2001. He was also a member of the Knights of Pythias South Florida Lodge #192. His family described him as a warm and loving husband, father and grandfather. He enjoyed watching and playing baseball, but more than that was an avid fan of his grandchildren as they played soccer and pool. His grandchildren have purchased a brick at Citi Walk in Citi Park, the new stadium for the New York Mets, and will have his name engraved on it in his memory. In addition to his wife and his daughter, Mr. Eisenberg is survived by his other children, Linda Feldman of Copiague and Debbie and Alan Alper of Holliston, Massachusetts. His son-in-law Scott Ingram and his grandchildren Kenneth and Cheryl Feldman, Jessica and Ryan Frease, Michael Ingram, Samantha Alper and Trevor Alper, also survive him, as do his sister and brother, Blanche Shorr of Tucson, Arizona and Harold Eisenberg of Brooklyn and many loving nieces and nephews.
His family will place his cremains at Arlington Cemetery, and a memorial service will be held at a later date.
