Gerald Greene was born in New York City, a proud "Brooklyn boy," but
followed his sister Sharon Goldberg and her husband to Miami in 1955.
He ran for, and won, a Democratic committee position in 1967.
Gerald went on to a career as a manager at brokerage firms Bache &
Co., Herzfeld & Stern and Purcell, Graham & Co. in Miami Beach and Bay
Harbor Islands, and would mentor younger brokers through the years.
In the Bicentennial year, Greene was elected as a delegate pledged to
Jimmy Carter at the 1976 Democratic National Convention in New York
City. "He was very involved in that campaign," his wife said. He was
very proud to be a liberal and was always fighting the windmill, so to
speak. I donʼt know why, perhaps it was from his family while growing
up in Brooklyn. His father was active in union politics. Perhaps that.
But he was always very sensitive to the underdog.
Greene loved tending to his orchid collection.
He was just the sweetest, most gentle person. He had a wonderful
quality of being loving, non-judgmental.
