Myron "Skip" Greenberg

“Skip” Myron Harold Greenberg passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on December 31, 2025, New Year’s Eve. He was 89. Skip started working at an early age, pumping gas at an Avondale gas station, then working for his father who owned several businesses in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, including the winery, Monte Casino. At the winery, Skip soon developed his passion for sales. Skip became an extremely successful salesman in the clothing industry, living in New York’s garment district and selling his wares to a number of major Midwest department stores, frequently traveling with his large dogs, all of which were named after adult beverages. He loved sharing stories, with a twinkle in his eye, about selling women’s lingerie. His ultimate goal was to encourage those around him to laugh, smile and generally have “fun.” A word he often emphasized. He achieved a dream to own a restaurant, Skip’s Pub, on Clough Pike. Greeting diners like long-lost friends, Skip was the consummate host. Some of his best memories were of cruising up and down the Ohio River in his boat “Going Nowhere” and then “Going Nowhere Still.” He was a regular at his favorite bars and restaurants. Including the Ludlow Bromley Yacht Club, Walt’s Hitching Post, Blinkers Tavern and the Turf Club. One of these establishments even had a sandwich named after him, as well as his own personalized bottle of Cutty Sark! Skip believed in giving back to the community. He dished up meals at various food banks and pantries in the Cincinnati area, and delivered for Meals on Wheels and Passover dinners. He was also a Big Brother to a young man, and a member of The Kiwanis Club. Skip loved people, loved life, and loved Cincinnati! Skip was preceded in death by his father, Herbert Greenberg, mother Zelda Ruken Greenberg, brother Alvin Greenberg and granddaughter Ashley Goldberg. He is survived by his daughters, Jodi Arnold (Don) of the Villages, Florida, and Tracy Greenberg (Mike Rivers) of Cincinnati, Ohio. He was very proud and close to all his family. His nephews Matt Greenberg, Nick Greenberg, of Cincinnati and niece, Ann Brownlee, of Minnesota, and cousin Eddie Greenberg of Florida. Skip was a truly unique man, and definitely broke the mold. He will be missed so much.
