Funeral Details

Lon Goodman, age 69

Beloved husband of Kim Goodman. Dear father of Chase Goodman. Loving son of the late Lionel and Lorretta Goodman. Proud uncle of Abbie Kolber and Karly Kolber. Cherished friend of Brad Martin, Mark Glatt, Dave Weissbaum and Russel Rosen.

Lon was a prominent businessman and longtime owner of a currency exchange, a man whose life revolved around hard work and providing for his family. He was devoted, dependable, and always there — rarely taking a day off, driven by a deep sense of responsibility and purpose. Supporting his loved ones was not just what he did; it was who he was.

Only after his illness was he finally able to slow down and spend more meaningful time with his son, moments that became especially cherished. Losing his business was one of the most painful experiences of his life, a loss that weighed heavily on him and deeply affected his spirit. Even through those struggles, he remained a loving man whose dedication to his family never wavered.
