 'Say not in grief 'he is no more' but live in
thankfulness that he was'
Charles Alberti
 - He labored hard for those he loved,
his Post, his Legion, God and Country.
He
has joined beloved wife Darlene, our Supreme Commander and fellow
soldiers who gave their all. Until we meet at that final assembly, the
last for which the first was planned, fare thee well dear friend and
comrade, fare thee well.

Wonderful
memories woven in gold,
This is a picture I tenderly hold,
Deep in my heart, a memory is kept,
One never to forget.

“Goldy
Forever” we joked often, especially around election time at the Post
Bar. We even wanted to print up bumper stickers with the phrase
emblazoned, but Tom would have none of that. He would just smile
impishly and shrugged his shoulders, “just so much humma, humma” he’d
say. Well, the Lord above finally decided there wouldn’t be any “Goldy
Forever” bumper stickers or anything else along that line and His word
was final. At Post #372, we have lost a natural leader, one who had a
strong command of the membership, especially the E-Board, as none before
him in my eleven year friendship and memory. These qualities are hard to
come by these days and will no doubt impact on the future of the Post in
the days to come. “So Long Comrade…”It was fun while it lasted!

Over the 37 years of friendship with
Tom
(Commander Goldy,) and Darlene, I found they always carried their
righteousness in their heart. Albeit tending to people in distress or
feeling the hurt and pain of our fellow servicemen, to help in any way
possible through our American Legion Post 372. Years ago unwittingly one
day Tommy commented to me, “Carl, you must have been one hell of a
sailor,” whereupon he slapped me on the back (his usual) and added
“Don’t let it go to your head,” finished by his normal jovial laugh.
First I thought it was an insult, realizing to the contrary, his
compliment. Goldy, this one is for you and our fellow Veterans, God
Bless.

November
5th - Philadelphia Inquirer Letter to the Editor
- A CARING HERO...
- Re: "Care situation with family feel," Oct 30th
- With all the stories about wars, violence and mud-slinging
campaigns, it was a real treat to read about Tom Goldy and how he
cares for Bobby Dickinson as part of the Adult Family Care program
in New Jersey.
- I cried my way through the article. It was so very
touching, and it's clear that both men are helping to fill a void
in each other's life in different ways. Goldy served his country
for years, and at a time in his life when most people are thinking
of taking it easy, he continues to serve his community. As the
parent of a son with autism, I can only hope that there is someone
like Goldy around should my son ever need someone to take care of
him after I am gone.
- Tom Goldy, you are a true hero.
- Laura Colnes, Marlton
