DAVID GOLDFINGER

Dave was my first boss in G&G Variety. He was a great man and taught me many things. It was my first job as stock boy working under his manager Mr Foster. I was 16 and got to meet Janice when she spent time at the store when school was out. She was a great friend. My wife and I are married 57 years and remember G &G. We lived on East 18 st. I know it's late but we lost contact and wanted to send our condolences for a man that meant a lot to me growing up. Thank you Dave.

Sitting here thinking about my mother's birthday today (Judy Wieder) and my father Alfred I was reminiscing through some old photos and articles my father kept. My folks were very fond of Irma and Dave and spent many, many years together. I remember Dave's laugh and fun spirit. He and my father always seemed to have a good time together.

Glancing through the obits in the NYT, I saw Dave's name; it couldn't be. Then I read it. I worked for Dave; he gave me my first job on 8/8/68. I loved working in the 5 and 10! When my own father died in 1996 I went back to Bklyn. to that neighborhood and G and G was gone, much to my sadness. It was a throwback to an earlier time.
Dave was very kind to me and lots of fun. I think he liked working with us kids. I remember Mr. and Mrs. Foster, Irma, the boy who must be your...

He was a kind and loving and good humored and completely human human being. There is no day that goes by he is not in my thoughts and prayers. I am blessed to have known him.

Sincere condolences and prayers to the Goldfinger family.

I remember a bit of marquetry in the den on Reynolds Dr.: A bowling ball and scattered pins. Met a few times and he always treated me well. Sorry for your loss. He was a gent.
