Per his birth certificate, George was born Joseph Chaim Eisenberg, when his father, Beril (32) and mother Rachel Rotker (23) were living at 427 Vermont St. E.N., Brooklyn. Per the 1930 US Census, Elias Rosenfeld (55), Rebecca (51), Clara Sartisky (32), Jacques Sartisky (9), Pearleah Sartisky (5), George Eisenberg (24) and Dorothy Eisenberg (22), were living at 588 Bedford Avenue. Elias had immigrated in 1906 and was naturalized. He was a jobber in a twine factory. He was 22 when he married, Rebecca 18. Rebecca, Clara and Dorothy had immigrated in 1907. Elias, Rebecca, Clara and Dorothy had been born in Poland. Clara was a saleslady in a paper and twine factory. George had married at 24, Dorothy at 22. George was a clerk in a coal yard. Jacques, Pearleah and George were born in NY. Per the 1940 US Census, George Eisenberg (32), his wife Dorothy (30), their son Myron (9), and a maid Julia Singleton (20) were living at 746 Lenox Road where they had also lived in 1935. George was a manager in a coal yard. George was an incredible athlete all his life, considering himself a "lefty" but actually ambidextrous. During his high school and college years, he was a four-letter man, including baseball and basketball. After school, he was a lifelong golfer and played a very active handball game on the streets of New York until well into his 60s, winning many trophies in both sports. When he retired to California, at the age of 68, he taught himself tennis and became a doubles champion, winning many senior tournaments in California and Florida, until he was in his 80s. He and a partner who was in his 60s were the Number One-seeded doubles team at their local club, where the Number Two-seeded team were two men in their 40s. He continued to play tennis and golf actively until a serious illness in 1987. After that he continued to putt golf and play a mean game of pool until well into his late 80s. At 19, George secretly married Dorothy Rosenfeld on January 31, 1928, because his parents didn't want him to marry before his two older sisters, Rose and Anne. George and Dorothy finally had an official marriage May 26, 1928. It was a good thing they didn't wait since neither sister ever married. Their son, born Myron but called Michael, was born in 1931. A second child was miscarried. George received a law degree from St. John's University but never practiced because he had a young family to support. After early stints selling ice and coal from a push-peddle cart, he became a shirt manufacturer in midtown Manhattan with an office across the street from the Empire State Building for years. In the early days, he made the shirts himself, including cutting and sewing on the machines, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, both tailors. He called his company 'Dean Shirts' because his son, Michael, had made the Dean's list at college. After Dorothy died in 1969, George moved from Brooklyn to Manhattan where a year later he met and married Maidie Grossman, a widow. In 1978, when he retired, George and Maidie moved to Rancho Bernardo, outside of San Diego, where George took up tennis, along with continuing to play golf. George had no backhand, as he was able to play forehand with both his right and left hands. In 1987, George was struck with a severe case of viral encephalitis, possibly caused by a mosquito bite or by an infection from a dental cleaning, which left him with a bad case of short and long-term memory loss. His phenomenal lifelong athletic activities and strong constitution enabled him to survive the illness for many years
