THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE, June 27, 1975 — PAGE Goldberg— uniform who came to Atlanta on so many occasions. Dances, swims, home hospitali ty, Seders, movies, concert passes — whatever, Abe Goldberg was an ever-source for fullflljment in behalf of the soldiers. After hostilities ceased, his energies remained at the beck'and call of veterans, particularly at the Veterans Hospital in Atlanta. Here he visited regularly, sometimes alone and sometimes with groups. Particularly during Christmas time, he paid visits to bring cheer to non-Jewish veterans. He created an indigenous "Heart Fund,” and was often the largest contributor though many of his friends also participated anonymously. This effort made funds available for merited in- LOVKLY FABRICS Imported Trial - Pattern* Completed Drapery Dept. —CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 0V BDCKHKAD - Z33 4M1 Coins Gold coins, silver coins for sale, for jewelry or for a solid , Investment. 872-3305 EMPLOYERS WANTED For experienced person nel In all field*.

One of the other traditions he created was a family-type party for children of relatives and friends. Usually this took place around Hanuka and of course there was always Hanuka gelt and ap propriate refreshments from “Un cle Abe.” Gray ladies at hospitals, atten dants at Cancer homes, nurses at St. Joseph Hospital and Grady Hospital also received special en couragement from him — in a great variety of ways. He had at Grady Hospital es tablished an annual award of $100 for a member of the senior graduating nurses class. In addi tion he had created a student loan fund to help worthy students com plete nursing education. This fund is self-perpetuating and is made available as loans are repaid. The Red Cross too held a favorite place in his seeming ly inexhaustable source of volunteer time. He was active in several of its programs for at least thirty years. For the last few years, he was supposedly in a state of semi- retirement, due to his age. The condition is qualified because what is retirement to most people wasn’t that at all for Abe Goldberg. Sure, he cut down on the amount of time devoted to business. But having more so-called. Jeisure time, he seemingly accelerated his efforts in volunteerism. Actually, he probably could have lived very well without doing any work at all, but the extra funds which came in could be channelled into the needs of the worthy causes he championed, what with mounting inflation and new arenas which cost money to achieve. Though he made no pretense at having such funds as some noted Atlanta philanthropists, he possessed time and a jovial bolster ing quality which made up for what he may not have had in finan cial substance. What was said of others now goes the round about Abe Goldberg, namely “No one will ever know everything he did for other people.” He kept no ledger of accounts on this score. The talk is that he helped several young people get a college education — and not par ticularly relatives. It. is. likely true. Rabbi Harry Epstein in the eulogy at the funeral Sunday declared, “Some men are said to be worth their weight in gold.” Abe Goldberg was worth his weight in ‘hearts’.” And since he was^usually overweight, Abe Goldberg made Mableton Marble & Granite Company Mrs. Morris H.

The funeral was held June 22 at the Ahavath Achim Sanctuary, an honor usually given to past presidents and Synagogue func tionaries. Abe Goldberg had been on the board of his congregation for years and participated with zeal in so many of its varied programs. He is perhaps best known as the “chief usher,” for he was present literally at every Friday evening and Satur day morning service since the new facilities opened on Peachtree Bat tle Avenue. His special touch was a “good Shabbas kiss” for every woman who came through the middle door. Rabbi Epstein and Cantor Isaac Goodfricnd conducted the funeral. Interment was in Greenwood Cemetery. Irving Edison, of St. Louis, a close friend since the two were teen-agers and formerly president of the National Jewish Welfare Board, came to Atlanta for the funeral.
