Often times, charities honor someone who will bring in the most money for their oganization. Instead, the Jewish Pavilion selected the man who meant the most to the organization and exemplified all it means to be a dedicated and caring volunteer. Our “Pied Piper,” Hank Goldberg passed away this morning.
Hank was always the life of the party. He made board meetings and other mundane activities fun; always adding humor and compassion. When the Jewish Pavilion held Jewish holiday celebrations at nursing and assisted living facilities, it was always Hank who added jokes and joy to the celebrations. Women in wheel chairs stood up to dance with Hank. Many people feel uncomfortable touching the elderly. Hank welcomed them with open arms. It is so hard to believe that we have lost such a special man.
Cards can be sent to Joni directly or through the Jewish Pavilion. We look forward to celebrating the life of Hank Goldberg on April 10th at our gala. We knew how sick Hank was, so we sent him all publicity in advance of the gala including all tributes made in his honor. The city of Orlando Florida
