James T. Goldstein

peacefully on July 15, 2026. Jim had a passion for cars and was fortunate to turn this into a forty year career at Knauz Motors. He rode motorcycles until he turned 80 and for decades, loved Saturday breakfasts with a close group of friends and fellow riders.

Beloved husband to his bride of 62 years Barbara Balaban Goldstein and proud and loving father and father-in-law to his daughter Debby and her husband Michael Waitkus. Jim and Barbara became known to family, friends and shop keepers as Papa Jim and Baba upon becoming devoted grandparents to Halle

and Samantha. Papa Jim travelled the world on his motorcycles with Baba faithfully sitting behind him reminding him to slow down at every turn. As you ride through the heavens, know that you are missed on the roads below. May the heavenly roads be smooth and your rides always peaceful. We hold you in our hearts always. In lieu of flowers, our family asks that you consider a donation to The Dementia Society of America in memory of our Papa Jim
