Frank Greenstein, 94

June 14, 2015

Frank Greenstein died in Elizabethtown on June 14, 2015. He was 94.
Born in Turja Remeta, Czechoslovakia, Frank was the oldest of David and Bella (Phillips) Greenstein’s three children. His siblings included a sister, Goldie Lee Davis, and a brother, Sidney Greenstein. Both predeceased him.
At the age of six months, Frank immigrated with his family, first to Pocahontas, Virginia, and then to Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. Frank was an Army Air Corps veteran, seeing action as a navigator in the European Theater during World War II.
In 1944, Frank married Ruth Loeb, a native Lancastrian, and spent most of the rest of his life as a resident of Lancaster. They had two children; Rick, a professor of law at Temple University and husband of Claudia Tesoro, Philadelphia, PA and Jill, who retired as the owner of a Merle Norman studio in Lancaster, and is the wife of Joel Weisberg, Mt. Joy, PA. Frank has a granddaughter, Deborah Lauren Greenstein of Quincy, Mass.
For many years, Frank was an Executive with Consolidated Cigar Corporation. Following his retirement in 1982, he pursued his lifelong passion as a photographer. Professionally he took photographs of local businesses, and also sold cameras at Coe Camera and Ritz Camera. In addition he served as the unofficial in-house photographer for the Country Meadows Retirement Community, where he resided for the last four years of his life.
Frank was a member of Temple Shaarai Shomayim, where he was a past Vice President and active in the Temple Brotherhood.
