Daniel Goldfarb Obituary

Daniel Goldfarb
Dr. Daniel Goldfarb, aged 62, died early Saturday morning. Always on the cutting edge in his treatment for bipolar disorder and depression, he was a dedicated physician who cared deeply 8255about the well-being of his patients. He loved nature, hiking, camping, snorkeling and non-stop active vacations, especially to islands and mountains. He loved his turtles, his Cannondale bicycles, his books, his movies, his lectures, the NY times and the Yankees. Most of all, he devoted his life to his wife and soulmate of 40 years, Debbie, his children Lisa and Jack, his brother Ron, and his sister-in-law Mia. He believed in living life to the fullest, to seize the day and to follow your bliss where ever it may take you. He said everyone has their own path in life and you should never compare yourself or your path with other people. You have to do what makes you happy because successful people do what they do best. All that matters is the here and now. Life is short, make the most of it. The pride his family feels for him will live in our memories forever. His love, support, and guidance is his greatest legacy. Services: Services were held on Sunday, visitors are welcome to stop by the house any time. Contributions: Donations may be made to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation.

Danny was a fine friend & great human being.
Little to add to original comments, except to note that I can hardly fathom the passage of nine years!
Hope that Deb and offspring have healed wounds & broad perspective, recognizing Dr Dan's joy of living,
shared by all!

I have never written before, and I don't know why. I, too, was treated by Dr. Goldfarb and he brought my broken soul back to life again, many years ago. I am now a mother, full time employee at a great company, and able to function as human being, all due to his willingness to help me, even when I resisted and felt most helpless. I don't know if I ever said thank you to him, for saving me. I, too, think of him often as others here have said. His words come to me, always when I need them.
Hoping God has brought you and your family peace.....
Much love....

Debbie, Hello, its Cheryl Hood, formerly Zemlansky. I think of your husband, my beloved and appreciated and most respected doctor. I have never been able to thank both of yo for the kindness that you bestowed on me. Thank you. I had a series of doctors since his death and none, no one will ever replace him. I am sincere. I hope you will call me. Its not against the HIPPA REGS anymore. I will await your call. Just know that my cognitive abilities are completely intact. I have a reference question which I feel that only yo may answer. I can understand any hesitation on your part and if I do not hear from you, I know that its not personal. You do need to protect yourself from certain individuals in this world. Judgement call. All my respect and admiration. Cheryl A hood 610-515-4556

I think of Dr. Goldfarb so very often. It feels as if he is still with me.

I also think of his son and daughter and wonder what life has been like for them.

And I think of you Debbie and wonder if you are near your son or daughter. I hope you have found a new kind of peace and happiness.

David and I are living in love and peace and harmony. Strange how things work out.

Love always, Vicki Newman

I'd love to hear from you...call 610-865-4383 or [email protected]

I knew him as Danny back in 1958 and for some years after when my family stayed at RonDan Cottages in Swiftwater, PA. I am so, so sad to hear of his passing. A sweet boy, obviously a very dear and caring man as well.

Dear Debbie,
I'm so, so sorry, I didn't know. Dr. Goldfarb was part of our family and his advance knowledge of bipolar gave us the opportunity to live a somewhat normal life. You and Dr. Goldfarb were always there for me and Ben. I'm sorry I didn't know about his death.
I hope you are doing well. Please send me an email.

Sincerely sadden,

Dear Deb & Family, I signed earlier on this guestbook, as Dr G & Deb helped me get my life back on track. Oh how I miss my monthly friday visits, and laughing with you Deb :) I "talk" to Dr Goldfarb in my prayers now. I hope he would be proud of me, riding my new bike and walking everyday. I use the coping skills he taught me and thank God for the pleasure and honor of having both of you help me get myself back on track. I found a Dr. However, he has different ideas, diagonosis, and a style that ruffles my feathers. Needless to say, the search continues. Dr. G is/was/will always be the best. It's something i have to learn to live with :) I'll be ok, we all will, I thank him for reminding me I have a say in my treatment, and it's ok to ask questions & say no. God Bless you Deb and your beautiful kids, and always remember I'll never forget Dr. Goldfarb & you, love, Kerri (Marissa's mom-in-law)

Jack Goldfarb

June 29, 2010

I want to thank everyone again for all your kind words. It's helped my family and me tremendously to know how much of a positive effect he had on people. He was an amazing doctor who cared deeply for his patients and worked nonstop to find a way to help them. He wasn't one to give up on someone because it was difficult.

Aside from his abilities as a physician, he was the most kind, caring, loving, amazing man I've ever known. He was my best friend who I talked to everyday for over an hour, not simply because I felt a duty as his son to call, but because I loved talking with him and sharing everything with him, from reptiles and photography to the Yankees and philosophy. He was so much fun and it's very difficult to know I will never have those conversations again. it just doesn't feel real. Although we knew he was sick, his death was very sudden - just 3 days before he died, he went on a 5 mile hike. He was in amazing shape until the end, so it came as a huge shock. I was actually flying home on Friday to see him and had a week of conversation and hiking planned, but instead of being driven to the house, I was driven straight to the hospital.

I'm so lucky to have had him as my father and I'm so proud of him. Although knowing the time I had with him was a gift, it doesn't yet provide me comfort because I want him back to have more time, however I do feel it will provide comfort in the future. There is at least some peace in knowing that. I know the tremendous pain I'm feeling is because of how much I loved him and how close our relationship was. He's given me so much as a father and best friend and I will always have that. That is forever. Everything I am today is because of my Dad and my Mom. It's not something I take for granted or something I will ever forget. I take pride in knowing I am very much like them.

I will forever live my life honoring his memory.

Thank you all again.

-Jack

I can only say how lucky I was to have been Dr. Goldfarbs' patient. It was an honor to spend time with a brilliant man. I use his wisdom often, and this always is followed by a smile. The world has lost a dedicated physician, a fascinating man who along with Debbie showed us that happiness is truely attainable. Thank you both for that.

Hello Everyone,

This is Jack again, Dr. Goldfarb's son. I just wanted to let patients know that all medical records have been transferred to the office of Dr. Jonathan H. Munves. His office will be handling all records requests. His information is below.

Dr. Jonathan H. Munves, MD
2597 Schoenersville Rd. #302

Jack Goldfarb

June 14, 2010

Hello Everyone,

This is Jack, Dr. Goldfarb's son. Thank you all for your kind words, they are much appreciated and mean so much to my family and me. He was an amazing man and we miss him terribly. We're all hanging in there and will be okay, but it will take time. We will always miss him and although the pain may subside, we will never get over his loss.

I also wanted to give the name of another doctor who can take new patients. Since my Dad had a fairly large number of patients, more than one doctor is needed to care for them all. All patients will also receive a letter from a medical records storage facility in a week or two with details on how to obtain all records on file.

In addition to Dr. Becker, please contact:

Dr. Jonathan H. Munves
2597 Schoenersville Rd, #302
Bethlehem, PA
(610) 691-6222

This information is also with the Answering Service (610)432-5202.

Thank you very much again for your kind words and patience.

-Jack

Dear Debbie,

I have been grieving. And i am grateful to have known him. I miss him. He was a mensch among mensches. And his heart was immense, although he would never admit it.

There are no words, as you know. Maybe music?

Is there a way to contact you? Please let me know.

Love and more,
Rita

June 11, 2010

Debbie, not sure what I can say that has not been said. It is clear how special he was. Debbie, I meant what I said to you in the office the last day before he stopped seeing patients, and what I said to you, Jack, in the email several months back about how proud your father was of you and your sister. How he loved showing off your work and your sisters!. I will miss his witty dry humor and his special love of the planet and how we shared sorrow with the forest fire. Whatever, whatever I can do, Debbie.. Sue

Dear Debbie:
I'm so sad to hear this news. I will miss Dr. Goldfarb, of course. However, I will miss you, too. Your wonderful personality, gentleness, and kindness were a huge part of Dr. Goldfarb's practice. Both of you were truly doing what God intended you to do.
Don't worry...I'm sad, but not too sad. I know you understand.

Debbie, I think God cried also the day he was called home. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. We did enjoy talking about bikes and hikes and exchanged some good web-sites. He made the world a better place for all of us. Take care of yourself.

June 7, 2010

Dear Debbie, family, friends and patients, I was hoping somone could set up a chat page where all of us could stay together to share some of our memories, thoughts and feelings for Dr. Goldfarb. I like many of you do not want to lose the special bond he created with all of us. He was very special, helpful and funny. I think it would help to keep his spirit close to us and to learn more about this amazing, special, kind, strong, compassionate man, friend and physician. He saved my life as well as many of yours and we often had a good laugh in our sessions. Debbie, you were also always amazingly compassionate and sweet and I would also like to keep you in my life. With Love, Sue Bennett

Debbie,
David and I posted on this book days ago and we get e-mail alerts daily regarding new posts. We are very touched by all the people who sing praise and love and loss and condolences for Dr. Goldfarb and love for you. I sit on David's lap, we hug and we cry.

David (someday I’ll explain to you our feelings and other things) and I are deeply saddened by the great loss for us and of a world without Dr. Goldfarb. If we had one wish granted in our lives it would be to speak with him one more time.

I know you recall that I saw him every week for years. I read the blogs his son Jack and daughter Lisa have on the Internet. I recall when I first saw Dr. Goldfarb, Jack and Lisa were in Swain Elementary School, Jack is now about 32. Then they went to Public High School and after that to earn advanced degrees and professions. They and especially you must be suffering a zillion times more than we are.

Our hearts, prayers, souls and love are with you and your children and with Dr. Goldfarb wherever he is now. May God be with all of you at this time of need.

Maybe someday someone who is able and writes well can tell the Story of Dr. and Mrs. Goldfarb and their very talented children, now roaming the internet as professionals. And especially of you Dr. Goldfarb’s devoted, loving, compassionate, giving and highly intelligent educated wife, Debbie, with many musical and artistic talents.

You and Dr. Goldfarb raised two beautiful, intelligent, compassionate adults who are now giving their unique talents to the world. How proud you both must be of them! How they both continue to love you and loved and miss their father!

And you Debbie I know how much you and Dr. Goldfarb loved each other. Your loss I must be overwhelming! As is theirs!

The three of you are so close and devoted to each other but I’m also sure this is not enough to help all of you with the many stages of grief you will experience. I pray that God be close to all of you now giving each of you strength and help as you travel through the very slow and seemingly endless journey of healing and letting go.

Peace be with you.
Shalom, Vicki and David

Debbie and Family, I was only Dr. Goldfarb's patient for a short time, but he really taught me a lot about the importance of living my life to the fullest and not allowing the cryptonite to get in the way. I also enjoyed my talks with you Debbie, after my appointments with the Doctor, which at times lasted longer then my time with him. I hope you will find happiness in your life again since you are such a giving and caring person and deserve that.

God's grace during this time of loss. Dr. Goldfarb was my patient. I loved when he came in the office. I felt a friendship and kindness immediately, a rare occurrence today. Thanks for your huge smile.

Bruce Blanar

June 1, 2010

Dear Debbie and your family: I offer you my deepest condolences. Dr. Goldfarb was the one physician who took the time to understand me, help me and, as a result, saw me gain the confidence to commit to getting married and having a child with my wife Kelly. I must say that without his help, guidance and friendship, I wouldn't be happily married and my daughter probably would never have been born those 4+ years ago.
Like others, I will truly miss him, both professionally and personally as he changed my life and helped me find myself and learn techniques to help me to deal with my bipolar disorder. In short, he simply was the best.
With deepest regrets,

He was my ray of hope, he not only treated you as a patient but as a personal friend, we discussed his favorite hobby of biking and I was always intersted in hearing of his travels. Him and debbie visted many far away islands and places together. He was very helpful in my journey thru life, and I wish all the Goldfarb family the best of everything!! Debbie and Dr. Goldfarb were the best team I ever meet!! Sincerely Brian and Charlotte Vanscavish

Dr. Daniel D. Goldfarb was a highly intelligent, compassionate, knowledgeable, insightful, and honorable man and Doctor. His integrity and moral character never faltered.
He was always aware of the latest cutting edge advancements in Psychiatry and Psycho-pharmacology, being an avid reader and attending conferences.
Dr. Goldfarb and his wife Debbie loved each other very much, were completely devoted to each other, their family and patients. He will be missed by every human being whose life he touched.

Dearest Debbie and Family, Our hearts, souls and prayers are with you and your family in this time of grief. Someday, when the time is right for you, please call me 610-865-4383, I would love to talk with you about my love, David. David and I are living together in perfect peaceful harmony. You always thought his would happen! I am happier now than I have ever been in my life!

Dr. Goldfarb, I feel your presence somewhere in the Universe. I can never believe that you are totally gone as a life force. You have been a part of my being for so many years as your patient. You guided me through my many journeys through life which I could not travel without you. I am so happy now and what I am today is because of your expertise, patience and compassion. I have wanted to get in touch with you for over a year but my fears got control of this desire. I was waiting for Godot! Forgive me. Be at peace for eternity, Vicki.

All Our Love and Gratitude,

Dear Debbie, Jack and Lisa,
How can I possibly express the tremendous loss we are all feeling in Doctor G's passing. I remember him telling me at one of my visits how by having cancer it helped him better understand what others were going through, he was always putting others needs before his own, even when he himself was suffering, but that was who he was, that is how I will always remember him. I can only pray that the void you are feeling right now may filled with all the wonderful memories that you created together. I want to thank you Debbie for sharing so much of yourselves with me, I will never forget two of the kindest people I have ever met. With Much Love and Sincere Sympathy.........

Angela Glase

May 27, 2010

Dear Debbie, I've been looking for Dr. G's obit since Monday and just found out today it was in Tuesday's paper. I'm sorry I missed his Memorial Service and seeing you and finally meeting Jack & Lisa. I could have written the entry by Cathy Brodhead because it mirrored my own sessions with Dr. G. I will never find another doctor as compassionate, smart and loved as Dr. G. and Debbie. I will miss him greatly! If you need any kind of help, please call me. I don't have your home address/phone, but sent a card to the office.

Thank you so much for all of your kindness, smiles, and help. I will stop by the house. Please call me if i can help you in any way.

May 26, 2010

Dearest Debbie,

I have to say, truly I'm shocked by Dan's passing. I surely thought he had another 5 years + in him. The last time we visited and talked, he was so "matter of fact," and all business, I didn't even think for a momement to consider his fragility at the time, knowing that we'd ultimately address his concerns (if any) later. He was strong, compassionate, & generous ... he had a real zeal for life, living in the moment always, and always displaying his affection for you and your family.
As a grandchild, I've seen a similarly strong man .. (my grandfather).. one day sitting on top of the provbial Mount Everest ... and several months & years later knowing "the end" was soon at hand. Like Dan, his comfort was knowing that he was going to a better place -- albeit, having to bear the sacrifice of leaving loved one's behind. I hope you know I'm here for you and your family -- now through the difficult time, & later as you need me.

Dan was truly an inspiration to the countless lives he touched, including mine.

With love & sorrow,

Vince & the DeSanctis family

I'm shocked and sadden to learn of Dr. Goldfarb's passing. Dr. Goldfarb was excellent clinician. He aided me through the darkest period of my life,. My friends would joke that most of our discussions embodied conversations of vacation adventures, his office decorations/artifacts, or his son's photography; moreso than what was ailing me at the time. I had a deep respect and admiration for the man. It was obvious that he had a deep respect and admiration for his family. My condolences to his friends and family. Cathy Brodhead (Bethlehem, PA)

Debbie,
Our hope is for your strength to shine through. Although Dan & I had diverse histories, we shared a common philosophy. He cared for my mom in a time of need, and we cherished his friendship and keen insights. Walt F.
