SOUTH BEND - Jay Alan Goldman, 60, born Nov. 24, 1948, died July 14, 2009. He bravely lost his year-long battle with esophageal cancer. He was surrounded by his family and friends at the VNA Hospice Center in Valparaiso.
Jay was preceded in death by his parents, Maurice and Lee Goldman; his brother, Bruce Goldman; his in-laws, Richie and Frieda Berk; and his beloved son, Michael. He is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Ann; his cherished daughter, Beth Goldman; his brother, Robert (Denise) Goldman; his brothers-in-law, Jeff (Debbie) Berk and Brad (Jing Ming) Berk. He was very proud of his nieces, Chandra Berk and Shaina Berk, and his nephew, Brandon Berk. He had no grandchildren but his nephews, Aaron Li Berk and Shang Li Berk, filled his life with joy.
The family appreciates the love and support of special friends, Steve and Krysia Kulavick. Jay graduated from John Adams High School, class of 1966, in South Bend, from Indiana University in 1970 and Indiana University School of Law in 1973. He received his Masters in Tax Law from John Marshall Law School in 1988. He began his career at Price Waterhouse in 1973 and left as senior manager. He spent 16 years as C.F.O. in the Fire Protection Industry and thoroughly enjoyed 10 years as owner of Goldman and Co. LLC in Merrillville. Being chairman of the Building Committee for Temple Israel in Valparaiso gave him great personal satisfaction. All of us will carry him in our hearts forever.
