GLENN ALAN GOLDBERG
Dec. 1, 1947-Dec. 19, 2004
Glenn Goldberg was born in New Haven, Connecticut, and died much too young at the age of 57 while walking on our beautiful trails.
He was happy, healthy and trim. The cause of death is still unknown.
Glenn married
Kari Zeh on May 20, 1979, in Oakland, California. They lived in Pacific Grove and Sacramento before moving to Port Angeles on February 14, 1994.
Mr. Goldberg earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Connecticut in 1969 and received a Juris Doctorate in 1972 from Columbia University School of Law.
Glenn's life was a life devoted to helping others. After working for the Federal Trade Commission, he began working for non-smokers' rights and later had a long and involved career for the rights of deaf people. He founded and directed the first legal advocacy agency for hearing-impaired Americans, at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C.
His heart led him to fight abuse on all levels: Working for the California Consortium to Prevent Child Abuse (Sacramento) and later with Healthy Families of Clallam County, actively working against abuse from all sources (child, domestic violence, drug, alcohol).
Mr. Goldberg was the well-known founder and director of GUTS, a nonprofit youth service agency providing intensive four-day seminars that help improve teens' self-esteem, self-efficacy, attitudes and behaviors.
Since starting the program in Port Angeles in February 1997, he touched the lives of hundreds of youth in our community and throughout Western Washington. This program will continue under the direction of Michell Gentry.
Most recently, Glenn was balancing three meaningful endeavors.
He created Embracing the Dance of Independence, a four-CD set for parents of adolescents.
He coached online and was in the process of writing a book to assist others in making the decision about whether to have weight-loss surgery. He was co-founder of the Port Angeles weight-loss surgery support group.
Glenn also worked with families throughout the state as a Family Group Conference Coordinator for the Department of Children and Family Services, helping families find solutions for children who have been removed from their home. He felt this to be very sacred work.
Glenn's Bar Mitzvah theme (at age 13) was Tikkun Olam (``healing the world"). Above his bed are the words, Tikkun Olam, Tikkun Halev (``healing the world, healing the heart"). He did them both well, with integrity, creativity, enthusiasm, energy and passion.
He is survived by his wife Kari, daughter Jesse, brother Jim in San Francisco, California, and sister Joy in Jacksonville, Florida.
He was preceded in death by parents Herbert and Lillian Goldberg, as well as two daughters, Julya and Kalena.
His memorial service will be held on Sunday, January 23, at noon, at Tempest, 535 E. First St., Port Angeles, led by Rabbi Dennis Shulman, Glenn's cousin.
It will be followed by a celebration of Glenn's life. Be prepared to dance!
Memorials: Donations may be made to GUTS, 136 E. Eighth St. No. 213, Port Angeles, WA 98362. Any gifts will be used to purchase a memorial bench along his favorite trail. Any remaining donations will be used to continue his beloved program solidly into the future.
At the family's request, no flowers, please.
