Stanley Goldstein Obituary
Stanley Goldstein, 82, of Blauvelt, NY, died peacefully on Wednesday, Oct 30th, after a valiant year-long struggle with cancer. The second child of Benjamin D. and Evelyn Podgorsky Goldstein of Brooklyn, NY, Stanley moved to the Bronx where he attended DeWitt Clinton High School. He served in the US Air Force from 1951-52, and completed his education under the G.I. Bill, earning a B.A. and later an M.S.W. from Columbia University. In 1956, he married Jeanne Henderson of Kingston, NY, and in 1960 they moved from the Bronx to Blauvelt, NY, where they built a home and raised four children.
Over a long professional career, Stanley held various positions in social work and mental health, culminating in his appointment to Commissioner of Mental Health for Rockland County in 1987, New York. After his retirement in 1994, he continued to serve on the Boards of community service organizations, including The Rockland
County Mental Health Association and Loeb House. He had a long association with St. Dominic's Home in Blauvelt.
Stanley was a loving husband to Jeanne, a devoted and loving father to children Ben, Donna, Liza Barrie, and Annamae; father-in-law to Gina Ironside and Mark Gould; grandfather to Noah Shapiro, Owen and Sam Gould, Ben and Cris Goldstein and Isabel Barrie, all of Rockland County, and brother to Melba Stuart of Rivervale, NJ, who died in 2012.
A memorial service will be held this Saturday at 10:00 AM at the Pizzi Funeral Home, 120 Paris Ave, Northvale with interment to follow at Rockland Cemetery, Sparkill, NY.
