Honoree:

Barry J. Goldstein was known for his love of his family: Patty, his wife of 49 years, Robin and Jodi, his daughters, and his beloved granddaughter Meadow. Anyone who knew Barry would say he was as big-hearted as they come and he would give and do anything for family, friends, his employees, and anybody who he felt was in need. Barry was the personification of altruism. He was especially devoted to supporting the American Friends of Magen David Adom. He chaired the annual Porto Vita Dinner for 13 years with unwavering leadership and commitment. Through his support facilitated the sponsorship of 13 lifesaving ambulances to the people of Israel. Hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children’s lives are saved because of Barry’s work.
