Daniel Housman Goldstein
June 21, 1935 – June 27, 2024
It is with deep gratitude for the moments shared that we announce the unexpected passing of Daniel Housman Goldstein (89) of Pompton Lakes, NJ. Beloved son of the late Benjamin and Gertrude Goldstein (née Housman) and brother to the late Milton (Ella) Goldstein, Dan passed away at his home on June 27, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished memories.
Dan is survived by his niece Cindy (Ed) Getty of Roswell, GA, and their children: Ben (Rebeka, New York), Sam (Yiskah and Emanuel, Atlanta), Zach (Alyssa, San Francisco), Josh (Atlanta), and Jon (New York). He is also lovingly remembered by his nephew Alan (Michelle) Goldstein of Cincinnati and their children, Isaac and Avi, both of New York. Additionally, Dan is survived by his cousins Mitchell (Meredith) Salzman of Manchester Center, VT, and Nina Housman of Paris, France.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Dan was an avid baseball fan and spent many childhood days at Ebbets Field, cheering for his beloved Brooklyn Dodgers. He graduated from The City College of New York with a bachelor’s in business administration and a degree in accounting, then joined the Armed Forces in 1958, where he was stationed in Germany. After the Army, Dan continued to serve his country in the Army Reserves. He enjoyed a long career as an accountant at Lenfam Management Company, where the friendship of his coworkers meant the world to him. Dan’s dedication to service and kind humor earned him the respect and adoration of all who took the time to get to know him. Dan was an accomplished Grand Master in Bridge, a testament to his sharp mind and strategic thinking. His love for the game brought him many years of joy and camaraderie.
Dan’s passion for sports, bridge, history, facts, and figures was matched only by his love for his nieces, nephews, and friends. He was always quick to offer aid and never failed to send flowers for birthdays and Valentine’s Day. He was a "meat and potatoes" man who liked his steak “burnt!”
Dan's warmth, kindness, and unwavering support for his family and friends will be deeply missed. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him.
