Actor Denis O'Hare took to Instagram to pay tribute to Greenberg, sharing, "Hard to believe the genius that was Richard Greenberg is no more. I owe him more than I could possibly say. He gave me the greatest gift ever--a beautiful character to inhabit in a beautiful play. He also gave me 2 of my best friends--Lisa Peterson and Linda Emond. We all met and worked on Rich's one act-The Author's Voice at Remains Theatre in 1987 in a festival of one acts called "Sneaky Feelings" I have a sneaky feeling of grief mixed with gratitude for this man. RIP Rich."
