GOLDMAN Stuart “Stu” Goldman, a multiple award
winning syndicated cartoonist, illustrator
and a really funny guy, died March 3, 2022
in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He was 74. Stu
produced illustrations for the Philadelphia
Jewish Exponent from 1981 until his re-
tirement in 2009. For many years he also
served as a regular and featured cartoon-
ist for a variety of periodicals. During his
time in Philadelphia he produced a car-
toon in the “Welcomat”, a weekly publi-
cation, known as “Eavesdrawings”. The
cartoon illustrated eavesdropped true
conversations heard throughout the city
of Philadelphia. At the height of his syn-
dication, Stu’s editorial cartoons were fea-
tured in over 75 publications. His cartoons
and illustrations used political satire to
comment on issues that affected his own
community as well as those of national
and international importance. His cartoons
and caricatures have been reproduced in
academic books on psychology and child
development. They have been exhibited in
museums and various shows in the United
States, Canada, Hungary, Japan and
London. Stu was born in New Kensington,
PA, a graduate from Haverford High
School and Kutztown College where he
received a BS in Art Education. In 1971, he
was elected into the 1970-71 “Who’s Who
in American Universities and Colleges” for
his work in educational television. During
his time in the US Navy, Stu served on the
USS New Jersey, in Viet Nam, and was
the recipient of various commendations
and ribbons. After the Navy, he worked in
television and radio in Denver Colorado.

During this time, he also created and pub-
lished a comic strip as well as writing and
illustrating for a variety of local and nation-
al magazines. When he wasn’t writing, he
was doing caricatures at the famous Casa
Bonita Restaurant. In 1981, he returned
to Philadelphia and began his two plus
decade long relationship with the Jewish
Exponent as editorial cartoonist and later
as the art director/graphics editor. During
this time, his artistic talent was recognized
by winning numerous Noah Bee Awards
for Excellence in Editorial Cartooning or
Illustrating in All newspapers. While in
Philadelphia, he taught at the Art Institute
of Philadelphia and Hussian School of Art.

He relished in teaching and guiding future
artists, bringing out the best in them, their
hands and their minds.

Always looking for new avenues to pursue,
36 Stu took up stained glass as a hobby, cre-
ating beautiful and unusual pieces of art
glass. Subsequently, he became the man-
aging editor of GLASScraftman Magazine
and was Artist in Residence in a stained
glass studio in Florida. He authored three
books on the genre of art glass. But wait,
there’s more. After his retirement and
being someone who wasn’t into fishing or
golf, Stu became very interested in Tai Chi
Chih, first as a student, and then becoming
a certified instructor in the moving medita-
tion. He taught many classes to the young
and old, but his most rewarding were the
veterans he taught at a local Vet Center.

Stu had a varied and eclectic set of inter-
ests that kept him busy. Over the years he
was a licensed glider and hang glider pilot,
parachutist, scuba diver, voracious sci-fi
reader, watcher of old westerns, ukulele
strummer and song parody writer, story
writer for television and a very funny stand
up comedian. With his acerbic, almost
quirky sense of humor, quick wit and be-
ing a punster extraordinaire, who always
thought ‘outside of the box’, he brought
much joy, laughter, thoughtful conversa-
tions and long lasting memories to all who
crossed his path. Now his show is over….

drop the mic!!!!
Stu is survived by his
wife, Naomi, his four legged companions,
Jack and Kiqui, numerous friends and fam-
ily, grateful students and colleagues and
Renzie, his very compassionate caregiver.

MAZIE Martin Julius Mazie 1933-2022 Our be-
loved dad, Martin Mazie, left this world
peacefully on March 4th, 2022, after a
long battle with COPD and Dementia,
just two months after our mom, Loretta,
the love of his life, has passed. He leaves
behind 4 daughters, Shellie Dickstein
(Philip), Dani Segal (Dan), Jody Ludwig
(Marc), Kim Novick (Steven), 8 grand chil-
dren, their spouses, and 10 great grand
children, all who he adored and cherished
very much! At a young age, Marty, spent
much of his time working and learning the
family grocery and then liquor store busi-
ness. He went on to attend Rider College,
in Trenton, NJ, on a football scholarship
which he passionately played as number
22. There he studied business and grad-
uated with a BA. After college he took an
interest in Real Estate and Insurance and
dabbled a little in both. During this time he
met and fell in love with a beautiful wom-
en named Loretta and they stayed married
for almost 70 years! During the years he
raised his family in Cinnaminson, NJ, he
MARCH 24, 2022 | JEWISHEXPONENT.COM
made a living working at Mazie’s Liquor
Store in Pennsauken,NJ. He eventually
went out on his own and bought Westville
Liquor Mart and restaurant in Westville,
NJ and worked many years to make it a
success! Dad also had a passion for col-
lecting rare wines and whiskies in collect-
ible bottles and mounted an impressive
collection. His favorite past times includ-
ed, fishing, boating, golfing and piloting.

When we were young we remember a
spirited day when dad co-piloted a plane
and surprisingly flew over the house so
we could wave at him. He became an avid
golfer and enjoyed playing most of his life.

He and Loretta were active members of
Temple Sinai, involved in play productions.

Marty was also on the board of the mens
club and a member of The Mizpah Masonic
Lodge. He also enjoyed many summers on
the beach and boardwalk with family and
friends in Ventnor and Atlantic City, NJ.

After his children were in college, Marty
and Loretta decided to build their dream
home and move to Boynton Beach Florida.

At this time he had sold the liquor busi-
ness and worked different jobs towards
his move out of state. He drove a limou-
sine before moving to Florida and once
they moved he became manager of a BP
oil station and mart for over 15 years. He
later worked his favorite job at Kings Point
Country Club Golf Course in Delray Beach,
Florida for many years until his retirement.

Marty and Loretta built a beautiful home
in Florida which became the families va-
cation destination for all their children,
and extended families and friends to en-
joy year after year, making many happy
memories there! His family and friends
always speak of Marty as a kind, gentle,
and always a fun loving man who adored
his wife and children. Dad, you are loved
and will be greatly missed! You’re at peace
now and with mom forever! Please make

NIMTON Ruth Warwick Nimton, wife, mother,
grandmother and great grandmother,
died March 11, 2022 just shy of her 102nd
birthday. In 1943, she and Joseph Gold,
also of Chester, PA eloped. Joe died in
1964, and Ruth remarried to Carl Nimton
in 1969. She and Carl retired to Florida in
1991. Ruth had a great love of family, and
her children remember large and lively
weekly dinners with their parents, grand-
parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. She
had an extraordinary memory. All family
members counted on Ruth to learn their
family history as well as the history of the
Chester Jewish community. She was an
active golfer for many years, and an astute
bridge player well into her late 90s. She
was a proud grandmother, and she and
Carl loved to have adventures with their
grandchildren. She and Carl also traveled
widely. Ruth was an avid reader, kept up
with domestic and international events,
and loved to watch the TV pundits. In her
final years, she enjoyed movies from the
1940s and 50s. In her last 7 years, Ruth
was cared for by an extraordinary group
of health care aides who showed her love
and respect. This allowed her to continue
living in her home in Florida. Her children
are deeply grateful to these women who
showed deep compassion, and helped her
maintain her dignity to the very end.

Ruth Nimton is survived by her children,
Eva Gold (Joshua Markel) and Jeffrey Gold
(Annique Boomsma), grandchildren Judah
Gold-Markel, Micah Gold-Markel (Stacey
Harpster), and Jesse Boomsma-Gold

life. Throughout her time in New Jersey,
New York, and Philadelphia, Mady made
close and life-long friendships, and these
women, too numerous to name here, were
a great source of joy and support to her.

Mady was an avid attendee of museums,
theater, music, and dance performances
and adored going to shows, from small
Philly theaters to Broadway. She was a
voracious reader and was never without
a book in her hands and a pile on her
bedside table. She graduated from NYU
with a degree in English, and went on to
advanced certificates in ESL, reading ped-
agogy, library science, and teaching. She
worked for many years as a reading teach-
er and librarian in school systems in New
Jersey, New York, and Philadelphia. She
helped countless children develop a love
of reading that would open the world to
them, and her work to promote literacy in
libraries and classrooms had a great effect
on many lives.
