Stanley was one of my first preceptors and my introduction to the Goldman medical family. He taught me so many things but mostly how to 'treat' a patient. Condolences to Gerry and Mark. He was a great man.

To the Family of Dr. Stanley Goldman
I was deeply saddened to learn of Stanley´s passing. He and I shared a friendship that began 75 years ago, when we were just six years old and growing up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. From those early days through all the years that followed, our friendship endured.- THREE- quarters of a century filled with shared memories, laughter, and mutual respect.
Life took us on different paths, with Stanley building a remarkable career and medicine and me spending much of my own career in federal service. Yet, no matter where life let us, we always managed to stay in touch. Thatconnection was something I deeply valued, and will always carry in my heart.
Stan was not only a gifted physician, but also a kind and generous man. His friendship has been one of the great blessings of my life. I will miss him dearly and extend my warmest condolences to his entire family. May you find comfort in knowing how many people´s live lives he touched and how fondly he will be remembered..
With heartfelt sympathy,
Jim Stanley

Stan was not only my Doctor for over 50 years he was also one of my best friends. He literally saved my life when he found out I was having chest pains and got me into the hospital before I had a heart attack. God bless you Stan we all will see you sooner or later.

Dr. Goldman was a great clinician. I remember him from working as a Nurse at Harrisburg Hospital. My husband Dr. David Long was a resident at the time. He was always so generous with his mentorship and social outings with the residents. Sadly missed by patients and others who knew him. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

Stanley was a stand up guy , who would always share a smart funny comment, and his wonderful smile!
He was a fantastic position and coworker and mentor
But more importantly, he was a fabulous father and husband!!
He definitely knew how to set the standard high!
I wasn´t aware that he was mentoring down in Florida, but that was absolutely what he should be doing!!!
We will miss you, Stanley!

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
The Hershey golf group enjoyed playing golf with Goldie. I particularly enjoyed being his cart partner because he always gave free medical advice. He always claimed to be the oldest in our golf group, because he beat me by a week.
He was a joy to play with. We will miss him
