Otto was a very bright, decent and learned man who survived unimaginable traumas during the Holocaust and built a new and successful life in his adopted country. May he rest in peace. Elliot Lefkvoitz

I knew Otto, Karla and Lea back in the 1970's at Rabbi Rockoff's shul. Otto was a true gentleman and a man who was so loving and caring, even after all he had experienced in the years of the Shoah. What a magnificent human being --- and what an amazing legacy he has left to Lea and to his grandchildren. May his memory be ever a blessing for us all.

Otto Grenton, always loving and cheerful.

To Lea and family, May you find comfort in remembering your beloved father and grandfather, Otto Grenton. He was an extraordinary person who, having survived the Holocaust, always had a positive outlook, continually reading and learning; he enjoyed good music, theater and people, and most of all he loved life. My three children and four grandchildren adored Otto. I have wonderful memories of joyous times during the three years we were together, and he will live in my heart forever. May his memory be a blessing.
