Harry M. Goldstein
Indian Wells - Harry M. Goldstein, aged 93, passed away peacefully of natural causes at his home in Indian Wells, accompanied by his loving and devoted wife Joy Goldstein, on Monday, September 16, 2019.
Harry was born on January 29, 1926 to parents Miriam Horwitz Goldstein and Harry M. Goldstein. Harry was raised in Peoria, IL, along with his older sisters, Betty Goldstein Friedan and Amy Goldstein Adams. Harry was a World War II overseas veteran, honorably discharged as a First Lieutenant. In 1944 he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant and at age 18 became the U.S. Army's youngest officer. Subsequently, Harry attended the University of Chicago and graduated from University of California, Los Angeles with honors. Harry had three children, Rodney Louis Goldstein, Nancy Ruth Goldstein Suhadolc and Laurie Ann Goldstein, during his first marriage to the late Inette Cohen Goldstein. Harry and his wife Joy were married at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church April 15, 1993 and were blessed to share over 26 years together.
Harry was a devoted father and husband, as well as being a former CEO of a regional chain of home furnishing stores in Illinois. Harry served as Chairman, President, and Director of many business, civic and philanthropic organizations. He received numerous awards including Peoria's Outstanding Young Man of The Year; American Jewish Committee Human Relations Award in Chicago; American Institute for Public Service Jefferson Award; and the California Hospital Association's 2006 Leadership in Governance Award.
Harry was honored to be named as Chairman Emeritus of Eisenhower Medical Center, following many years of distinguished service. Harry served on the Eisenhower board since 1995 as a Director, Finance Chairman, and Vice-Chairman prior to being named Chairman in 2000. During his eight year tenure as Chairman, and simultaneous role as Chairman of Campaign Eisenhower, over $350 million was raised and the Eisenhower Medical Center experienced a major turn-around, unprecedented growth, and was named one of the top 100 hospitals in the United States. Harry was also a member of the Board of Directors of The Living Desert.
Harry is survived by his loving wife Joy Goldstein of Indian Wells, CA, his sister, Amy Goldstein Adams, son and daughter-in-law, Rodney and Keith Goldstein, of Chicago, Illinois, his daughter and son-in-law, Laurie Goldstein and Walter Klenhard, of Woodland, CA, and 6 grandchildren. He is also survived by Joy's two children, 3 grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren. Harry was predeceased by his sister, Betty Goldstein Friedan, and his daughter, Nancy Ruth Goldstein Suhadolc.
Harry touched the lives of too many people to name here and he will be missed deeply by each of the communities of which he was a part. We are all lucky to have known such an exceptional and caring man and the world is a better place for his presence.
A church service will be held at 2pm on November 17, 2019 at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church (47535 Highway 74, Palm Desert, CA 92660) led by minister, and Harry's dear friend, Roger Douglas. A Celebration of Life with eulogies by friends and a reception will follow at The Vintage Club (75-001 Vintage Drive West, Indian Wells, CA 92210) where we can all raise a glass and share some memories of Harry.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Harry's memory to the Eisenhower Health Foundation (39000 Bob Hope Drive, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270, 760-773-1888 or www.eisenhowerhealth.org/giving) or The Living Desert (47900 Portola Avenue, Palm Desert, CA 92260, 760-346-5694, ext. 2166 or https://www.livingdesert.org/support/ways-to-give/).
