JACK GOLDSTEIN, D.D.S.
On January 17, 2021, Jack Goldstein, D.D.S. of Annapolis, MD passed away at 96 years old. At 19, Jack went to war; he was the last living member of his 10-man bomber crew that flew missions during World War II as part of the "Mighty Eighth" Air Corps. Jack served with the United States Army Air Corps in the 381st Bomb Group, 535th Bomb Squadron on a B-17 Flying Fortress from 1943-1945. Jack completed 25 bombing missions over Western Europe as a waist gunner. It took him forty years to share stories about WWII. When he did, he shared them with his family, fellow veterans, students, and the Washington Football Team, thanks to the Friends of the WWII Memorial and The Greatest Generations Foundation (https://vimeo.com/387082414). Beloved husband of the late Marian Lewitz. Devoted father of Linda (Martin) Kaufman, Susan (Gary) Goldstein, and Daniel (Jody) Goldstein.

Great grandfather of Maci and Emmett Sossin, Brody Freedman, and Jeanette Kaufman. A private graveside service for the immediate family will be held on January 21, 2021 at Judean Memorial Gardens.

I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Goldstein and listening to his story at the American Jewish Military History Museum when i attended the Friends of the WWII Memorial Summer Teachers Conference in July 2018. He was passionate and charming and represented the greatest generation admirably. May his memory be for a blessing.

Dear Linda, Susan, Daniel and families --
Jack graced the sky and earth. I got to know him, fortunately, nearly a decade ago at the annual 381st Bomb Group reunions, and so enjoyed his company. After my dad and fellow WWII vet Lew Perrone moved to Edgewater six years back, Jack invited and drove him to the weekly luncheons of "The Lost Patrol." When I would express appreciation for his gracious efforts, Jack would downplay them. "You don't need to thank me," he'd say. "Anyway, I like the little fella."
Please know that my dad and I share in your loss of an American hero and stand-up guy.
In sympathy,
Vinnie Perrone

Dr. Goldstein was a treasured member of our WWII 381st Bomb Group Memorial Association and we are very saddened to learn of his passing. He was an active member and frequent attendee at our annual 381st reunions. We honor his military service as a B-17 combat crew waist gunner over a tour of 25 combat missions. Jack was a kind and humble gentleman who never sought attention for himself but instead honored his fallen comrades. We extend our sincere sympathy and condolences to his children and grandchildren. He will be remembered at the memorial service of our next annual reunion. Rest in peace, Jack.

Dr. Goldstein was a wonderful man, a great dentist and pharmacist. We worked together at Montgomery County Health Department and have stayed in touch. I know he was loved by his family and will be missed by all who knew him. God acquired another Angel. May he Rest In Peace.
