Obituary

Stanley Ely Goldman, 87, of Lancaster, PA formerly of Brooklyn, NY passed away on Saturday, March 11, 2023. Born in Brooklyn, NY he was the son of the late Shirley and George Goldman. Stan was the beloved husband of Evie "Jan" Goldman, with whom he shared almost 55 years of marriage. He was the loving father of William "Keith" Goldman and his wife Cathy, Randi S. Stern and her husband, Irv, and Scott Gregory Goldman, and his wife Nataliya. He was the cherished grandfather of Chris, Zachary, Corinne, Hannah, Max (and his wife Alex), Eli, Noah, Gregory, and Sophiya. He was a devoted brother to his sisters, Barbara Levine of Boca Raton, FL and Rosalie Weintraub of Queens, NY, as well as 4 nieces and 10 great nieces and great nephews.

Stanley was a proud veteran of the US Army, serving from 1954-1956. Stanley was an ambitious self-starter who at the age of 28 was the youngest founding franchise owner of Budget Rent-a-Car. Before he retired, Stanley had grown his business significantly and was the CEO and Operating Partner for Budget Rent-a-Car of Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia. He loved boating, running, golfing, exercising, and going to the gym, where he was a club champion racquetball player. In his later years, he enjoyed hiking and was passionate about a new sport called "pickleball," which he began playing long before there were outdoor courts available for the sport. Having learned as a young teen to play pool at a local pool hall in Brooklyn, NY, Stan kept his skills intact and recently won the senior championship at Willow Valley. Stan was an avid Baltimore Orioles and Ravens fan and loved attending games. He and Evie enjoyed traveling internationally and particularly loved their time in Europe and China. Most of all, he cherished spending time with his family and adored his grandchildren.
