Stephen H Goldstein "Steve" of Beverly, formerly of Lynn, passed quietly on June 13, 2020.
Steve was born and raised in Lynn. He graduated from Lynn English High School, where he played football and baseball. Steve was a longtime employee of West Lynn Creamery.
Steve loved bowling, westerns and especially fishing. He delighted in sharing his passion for fishing with both his children and his grandchildren. He was also well known by many for his unique sense of humor, and his ability to make an entire room break into laughter at a moment's notice.
Steve is remembered by his family as a strong, good human being, and the impact he has had is lasting. To quote his grandson Max:
"There's really so much I could say about this man and the impact he's had on my growth as a person. It takes a special type of man to step into a father role and raise two sons that weren't biologically his. But you didn't care you raised them as your own children. You're one of strongest men I've ever known and you were a great role model for your children and grandchildren. You could always fill a room with laughter."
Steve is lovingly remembered by his wife Lynda, with whom he shared 44 years of marriage. He is survived by his children, sons Robert Wenzel and his wife Lisa, of Beverly, Ronald Wenzel and his wife Sue of Lynn, and daughter Stephanie Goldstein of Beverly. He was the beloved grandfather of Jake, Max, Amanda and Veronica. Steve is also survived by his mother, Jacqueline Butler (Marder) and sister, Ann Martino (Goldstein) of Kulpmont, PA.
I went to dialysis with Steve, we sat next to each other for 2 years. Whenever i was having a rough day, Steve always knew how to cheer me up. Steve had a way of always making you laugh. The things that came out of his mouth. Lol. He was an AWESOME man and truely a great FRIEND. Steve will be greatly missed. -- Miranda LeBrasseur

50 years ago, Steve worked for my father's landscaping business. I was approximately 10 years old. However, each time he saw me he was kind and had a moment or two for small talk. I haven't seen him since, but he left a positive mark on a little boy. Steve was a good man. Rest in Peace Steve
