Dr. Edward Joseph "Eddie" Goldenberg

1922 - 2021

Doctor Edward Joseph Goldenberg (Eddie), 99, of Hartford, CT, passed away on Monday, November 22, 2021. Eddie was born on April 4, 1922 to Anne (Slossberg) and Saul Goldenberg and is survived by his sons, Steve and Paul and their spouses, Blanche and Patti, as well as a sister, Fanchon Cartin. He was predeceased by his brother, Jerome Goldenberg. In addition, Eddie leaves behind three beloved grandchildren, Robert, Sara and Matthew, and three cherished great-grandchildren, Henry, Sylvia and Mila. Eddie was a veteran of World War II with the rank of Second Lieutenant. He was trained as a pilot in the Army Air Corp. This training developed into a love of flying and aviation which became a lifetime passion. After the war, Eddie graduated from the Massachusetts School of Optometry and pursued a career as a doctor of optometry with offices in Hartford and Wilson. Eddie loved to play golf at Tumble Brook and Wampanoag and enjoyed the game well into his eighties. One of Eddie's greatest joys was playing cards with his friends. He was lucky to have almost daily games with these special friends until just a couple weeks ago. A private graveside ceremony will be held at the Hartford Mutual Society Cemetery in East Granby. The family requests that any donations made in Eddie's memory be made to Jewish Family Services, 333 Bloomfield Ave., #A, West Hartford, Ct. 06117. May his memory be a source of strength and blessing. Funeral arrangements provided by Hebrew Funeral Association, West Hartford.
