David Greenberg, who at 92 was the oldest municipal employee working in City Hall, died Wednesday.

Greenberg had worked as senior counsel in the Office of the Corporation Counsel since 1994, according to a release from city spokeswoman Elizabeth Benton. Greenberg was a 1949 graduate of UConn law school and served as an aldermen from 1965 to 1969. He served as counsel to the city’s ethics board.

In the release, city Corporation Counsel Victor Bolden described Greenberg as “a lawyer’s lawyer and the consummate gentleman, who brought a highly analytical mind, a clear and effective writing style and an uncommon human decency to the practice of law.”

Shepard Parson, a member of the Board of Ethics, said Greenberg was someone who “loved the law, the life of the mind and his family in reverse order.”

Greenberg is survived by his wife, Eleanor, four children, Beth, Joshua, Reesa, and Nancy and seven grandchildren.
