Edward Bennett Goldstein, 69, of Lynbrook, N.Y., died Dec. 19, 2016.
Ed was born on Feb. 5, 1947, in Cleveland Heights to Maurice and Lena (nee Seltzer) Goldstein. He graduated from Cleveland Heights High School and earned his bachelor’s degree from Ohio University. Ed earned a Master’s of Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin. Ed began his lifelong sales career while in high school, working initially as a Fuller Brush Man. After receiving his MBA, Ed worked for Johnsons Wax in Racine, Wis., and later was employed until his passing in marketing and selling ever more sophisticated medical and surgical equipment to hospitals and physicians. He also trained the medical practitioners in the proper and most effective use of this equipment, enabling them to save lives, extend lifespans and increase the quality of life for thousands of patients. Ed played guitar and sang to his children while they were young, and this evolved into a family sing-along activity as the boys grew into manhood. He was very close with his children.
