He is survived by his two sons, Todd Golden and Spencer Golden, three grandchildren, and one great- grandson. Julie was born on June 17, 1925 to Louis and Sadye (Marshak) Golden and raised in Binghamton, NY. Following his service in WWII he earned his B.A. at Yale University through the GI Bill and went on to become a successful copywriter during the Mad Men era of advertising in New York City. He married Rhoda (Becker) Golden in 1950 and raised two boys in Hicksville, Long Island.
