My thoughts and prayers go out to the Goldner family during this difficult time. Even though I hadn't seen him for a very long time, I never forgot his kindness to me. He helped me out of a difficult situation at St. John's and didn't seem to judge. May you rest in peace Dr. Goldner. Your kindness will never be forgotten.
