Born in Chicago Ill., he was the son of the late Edward and Margaret Rataczjak Goldman. He graduated from Hyde Park High School, Chicago. He was a proud Navy Veteran spending seven years stationed on the nuclear submarine USS Tinosa. He went on to receive his degree as a Metallurgist from The University of Illinois.

John was an avid tennis player although his greatest passion was his photography.  He was often seen throughout the Hideout with camera in hand waiting for that special image of an eagle or other wildlife. He was a volunteer at Eagle Institute Delaware Highlands Conservancy and a member of Lacawac Sanctuary.

Also surviving are two daughters Linda Foster and her husband William, Jefferson NJ; and Laura Price, Hopatcong NJ; a son John Goldman, West Monroe NY; and seven grandchildren.
