GROSSMAN GOLDMAN
Dr. Arnold D Goldman (Arnie) was the only
child of Katie and Abraham Goldman born on
September 29th, 1933 and peacefully left us
on January 24th, 2021. He was raised and
educated in Philadelphia, P.A. Dr. Goldman
had a thriving private practice in the South
Jersey Area. Some recognition's of Dr. Gold-
man was when he received the Outstanding
Teacher of the Year Award for Voluntary Fac-
ulty at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical
School in 1997, and election by his col-
leagues to Inclusion in “Top Docs” in Phil-
adelphia Magazine in 2002. In all of his many
activities he always displayed tremendous
spirit and teamwork. His happiest achieve-
ments were his marriage of 63 years to his
wonderful wife Lynn (whom he met on
someone else’s blind date), his forever silent
partner, who worked with him in his practice.

They have a beautiful family of four original
children and four gifted to them by marriage
and ten stellar grandchildren: Audrey (Brian)
and children Brandon (Michelle), Leigh (Bi-
anca), and Scott (Emely); Shari (Keith) and
children Katrina and Bianca; Daniel (Cheryl)
and children Abigail and Tara; and Rachel (Si-
mon) and children Jordan, Phillip, and Chase.

His greatest joy was the family vacations he
took every summer. Dr Goldman, Arnie, Dad,
Zaydah, had the most beautiful blue eyes and
stunning smile which will be greatly missed
by all. We were all fortunate to have known a
man such as him and the world is a better
place for having had Dr. Arnold D Goldman in
it. Contributions in his memory may be made
to American Cancer Society, 1818 Market St.,
Ste. 2820, Phila., PA 19103, www.cancer.org
