Stuart Goldberg Obituary
October 25, 1932 - November 20, 2019
As a teenager in Philadelphia, Stu Goldberg learned hand balancing and soon began working in circuses with the Five Eriksons. He served his country in the Korean conflict. He toured the Lyceum circuit promoting physical fitness with his clown trampoline act. He loved magic and was a life member of the Magic Castle. He owned many businesses in San Francisco, including a guitar shop, Marina Music and a successful nightclub, "Dance Your Ass Off, Inc." He taught at Ringling Clown College. He was a licensed contractor and handyman. His motto was, "Bite off more than you can chew, and then chew like hell." In 2017, at the age of 84, he moved to Los Angeles to try a new career as an actor in Hollywood. He landed several roles in commercials, T.V. shows, films and music videos. Stu went to the gym every day to work out, and never stopped practicing juggling, magic, and other circus skills. Known for his generosity, he was always making things for people, and giving advice (on the correct way to do just about anything) to anyone who would listen. We'll miss you, Stu. There will be a memorial in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 16th at 2:00 P.M. Please e-mail [email protected] if you wish to attend.To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I learned so much from Stu when he repaired many items in my home. His knowledge was not only related to home repairs, but to various and unrelated topics. He was very knowledgeable. I wondered if he did indeed relocate to Los Angeles. Rest in peace, Mr. Acrobat and master of many other skills.
What a last but lasting memory here

Life tends to be a big mystery because you never know who's going to come into your life. Good people give you happiness. Bad people give you experience and the best people gives you memories. Time spent with you will forever be etched into my heart.
Love you, miss you
