David Golden Obituary



The Owners, Directors and staff of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC mourn the loss of our valued friend and colleague, David Golden. David's utmost priorities in life were his faith, family, and friends. He worked tirelessly with all his talent, enthusiasm, and relentless devotion to provide for his wife and two young daughters, who he loved and adored beyond measure. David was an intelligent, skilled, thoughtful and passionate person. He graduated from New York University School of Law, was on the Board of Directors as President at Temple Bnai Israel in Willimantic, CT and President of the Tolland Education Foundation in Tolland, CT. David's personality was larger than life. He had such a passion for his community. He loved to laugh and have fun, especially at Six Flags Amusement Park where he was even in a commercial with one of his children. David was an ardent fan of Star Wars, Spiderman, Superman, Batman, Sci-Fi, and campy "B" movies. David enjoyed his job, loved the office and looked forward to going to work each day. He had an individualized connection with each of his co-workers. His presence in the office was well known and is sorely missed. David will always be remembered for his kindness, thoughtfulness and giving to others. His wisdom, love and caring for others always came through. David's family, friends and colleagues are in deep mourning over the loss of this beautiful soul, who was taken too soon and too suddenly. Our condolences to his wife Lily, his two children; Sam and Willow, and his entire family. Robert Shapiro CEO

I was incredibly sad to see David's name listed in the In Memoriam section of the Brandeis Review. He was one of the very few people I've ever known who was so genuinely positive, good, intelligent, sometimes silly, and supportive. There are far too few people as wonderful as David. The world has lost one of its best. My heart goes out to his family.

After learning of David's passing today, my heart took a huge blow. I say this because if you even knew him for a brief time you would know why. He was one of those people that you admire on so many levels. He was a beautiful soul, and my heart goes out to Lily, Sam and Willow, as well all of his family. David you will most definitely missed but not forgotten.

Just heard about David. I still remember our passionate discussions about the meaning of "Lost" and also how he enjoyed the positive creative process of helping clients creat a business. What a loss for everyone who knew him.
