David Goldman Obituary

Dr. David M. Goldman of Potomac, Maryland passed away on February 8, 2025 surrounded by his loving family, at the wonderful age of 85. Beloved husband of Lynn, he and his feisty Lynn were college sweethearts and were happily married for 64 years. He was a devoted father showering unconditional love on Lisa Forgang (Chuck) and Jennifer Bolton (John); doting grandfather who was enthralled and captivated by Justin and Gavin; big brother to Robert (Lorene); loving brother-in-law to Aviva (Danny); and supportive uncle to Michele, Jonathan (Angie) and Todd (Michelle).
David was a longtime and incredibly caring Nephrologist/Internist practicing and teaching medicine in suburban Maryland for over 40 years, and was the Chief of Medicine and then VP of Medical Affairs at Prince George's Hospital Center. He was respected in his profession as a teacher, mentor and colleague. David will be remembered as the wise voice of reason, smartest person in the room, voracious reader of detective novels, first one on the slopes, and a golfer with a love/hate relationship with the links who found joy in the camaraderie of the 19th hole.
His love and care for his patients was exceeded only by the love, guidance and generosity he gave his family and close friends. He will be missed dearly, but will remain forever in our hearts. His legacy lives through the lives he touched and the patients he helped heal. A private funeral will be held in New York for close family. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the charity of the donor's choice in his honor. Services entrusted to Sagel Bloomfield Danzansky Goldberg Funeral Care.

Dearest DMG, Did you know how much impact you had on us all? We worked together for all of those 40 years at the hospital. You were starting out in practice & I was a kid in a typing pool; you were Chief of Medicine & I was your secretary; you were VPMA & I was supervisor for one of your departments You treated everyone (big bosses, hot shot surgeons, housekeepers, nurses, security guys, residents) the same; as though we were all your peers in that hospital mission. You once told me I had the best diagnostic acumen of any high school grad you knew... maybe the silliest & grandest compliment I´ve ever received. I´m guessing you didn´t know how much impact you had on us - but it was always positive.
Enjoy eternity, lv crf.
