Walter Goldberg, a native of Cheyenne, Wyo., passed away Aug. 31, 2012, in Denver. Rabbi Yaakov Meyer officiated at the Sept. 3 memorial service at Aish Denver. Interment took place at Golden Hill Cemetery. Feldman Mortuary made the arrangements.
He was a man of unparalleled ethics, compassion, charity and humor, the family said. His memory will live in our hearts forever.
Mr. Goldberg, a long-time subscriber who fondly referred to the Intermountain Jewish News as The Irish Gazette, was born March 6, 1921, in Chugwater, Wyo. After moving to Denver, he attended West High School.
During WW II, Mr. Goldberg served as a baker, first class, with the US Navy. He earned the Asiatic Pacific Area Campaign Medal, the American Area Campaign Medal, WW II Victory Medal, and the Good Conduct Medal.
Mr. Goldberg was honorably discharged in 1946.
On Dec. 6, 1949, he married Marjorie D. Goldberg. Mrs. Goldberg passed away on Jan. 10, 1978.
Mr. Goldberg was the owner of Allen-Lewis Manufacturing, an import-export company.
He also lived in Las Vegas, Nev.
Proud to receive his high school diploma in 2011, he was an El Jebel Shriner, a Scottish Rite Mason who earned his 50-year recognition award in 2005, and a member of Columbine Lodge #147.
Mr. Goldberg is survived by his children Julie and Anne (Mel) of Denver and David of New York City; grandchildren Raphael and Naphtali of Denver; and sister Jessie Varon of Las Vegas.
