Dwight Allen Joseph Greenberg, 75, of Hughes Springs, Texas, formerly of Cocoa Beach, Florida, passed away peacefully at his home on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He was born October 11, 1950, in New Haven, Connecticut, to Julian and Reta Greenberg.

Dwight proudly served his country in the United States Air Force, retiring after 21 years of dedicated service. Following his military career, he worked for Harris L3 Corporation for 25 years. He and his wife spent 38 years in Florida, where they raised exotic birds, a passion they enjoyed sharing together.

A lifelong communicator at heart, Dwight was an avid ham radio operator, known by his handle WF4H. He was also an active participant in the National Hurricane Network, using his skills to help provide vital information during severe weather events.

  1. Candle 8Hey Dad,
    I can feel you, hear you, and see you in everything around me. I hug Mom and I can smell you in her sweater from all the hugs and kisses you two exchanged. She misses you. Love deeply, hurt deeply is an understatement but I understand it now. Thank you for bringing Mom to me so that we can take care of her for you. It will never be as well as you took care of her but the hugs, the kisses, the tears, and the laughs will be there… in your honor… every day. I will light a candle on here for you but just know it would be a cigar if I had it my way. XOXO’s

  3. Candle 5Hi Umpa, I hope the cookie I gave you last is sitting nicely in your belly. I’m going to miss the sunrises with you, but now we can all watch you rise with the sun next time we see a sunrise. I love you, and miss you very much. I can’t wait to feel your warm hugs again.

    Love, Lindsey

  6. Candle 6My life is so much fuller having known Dwight and meeting Beth. I always smiled when I heard him on the radio. Visiting with him every year was a treat. He told stories well and what a collection of experiences he had: his military service, ham radio, lighthouses, cigars, Beth’s art and so many more I probably don’t even know about. He and Beth delighted my wife and i when they made a stop in our hometown for supper several months ago. I’ll miss my friend but will remember his enjoyment for life and how much he obviously loved Beth.

  11. Candle 7I could not believe it when I heard of Dwight’s passing. Seemed he was recovering well and now this. Dwight and Beth would bring baby birds for us to watch and that was an enjoyable adventure. Pat and I are saddened by this loss and our prayers are with you Beth and your family.

He was a great guy and fun to work with and always had a story to share that some how made the work easier.
