Stephen Gosin

It Is with deep sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of Stephen Gosin, MD, F.A.C.S., of Mays Landing, NJ on February 5, 2026, at the age of 87. Steve was born in Philadelphia PA, graduated from Central High School and was the loving son of Jack and Marcella Gosin.

Steve received his undergraduate education from the University of Pennsylvania and graduated with honors in 1962 from Thomas Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. After medical school, Steve remained at Jefferson for his residency in surgery, where he was named Intern of the Year and received the Alumni Award. After he completed his surgical training, Steve served his country as an officer in the Public Health Service, caring for wounded servicemen returning from combat from Vietnam, and was also deployed as ship's surgeon on a U.S. Coast Guard cutter at the height of the Vietnam War.

Dr. Gosin had a successful and rewarding General and Vascular Surgery practice in the Atlantic County area and founded Jersey Shore Surgical Group. He was President of Shore Memorial Hospital's Medical Staff and Chief of Surgery. Subsequently, he received the Surgical Chairman's Award as a "role model to all healthcare professionals" during his four decades of service at Shore Memorial Hospital. For many years, he participated as an instructor in surgery at his alma mater.

He was a past President of Seashore Gardens Living Center, a member and supporter of numerous surgical and medical societies and was the recipient of honors and designations too numerous to mention. But, more importantly than accolades, he was known for his compassionate caring, his honesty, his dedication to excellence, and his devotion to his family. Lastly, Steve was an avid boater, fisherman, and enjoyed piloting his own airplane.

Steve was the beloved husband of Marjorie and devoted father to sons, Jeffrey Gosin (Cheryl) and John B. Conner and daughters Debbie Warner (Cliff) and Nancy Mitnick (Scott). He was also affectionately known as Pop-Pop to Julia, Seth and Cara Gosin, Matthew and Justin Warner, Michael and Ethan Mitnick, and Ty Anthony Conner. Steve was predeceased by his mother and father, his brother, Robert Gosin; and his son John B. Conner.

As we grieve his passing, we also celebrate Steve's extraordinary life. He personified the quote by Hippocrates "wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity." A service to honor his life will be held at Congregation Beth Israel in Northfield, on Tuesday, February 10th at 11 a.m. Interment to follow at the Beth Kehillah Cemetery in Egg Harbor Township. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you continue Steve's legacy of charity by contributing in his memory to the American Cancer Society or the Alzheimer's Association.
