Arthur W. Goodman ’48

Arthur was born in 1925 and raised in East Orange, N.J. He finished high school in the middle of World War II and served in the Marines for three years. At Princeton he majored in economics and graduated cum laude in 1949.

With his father and brothers he organized and ran a manufacturers’ representative for a plumbing and heating business. This allowed the most time and energy for lifelong sports enthusiasm and success: in college, football and hockey; and later, in league softball, basketball, and touch football; and even later, despite arthritic elbows, in pistol and trap shooting. He won medals for the United States in trap shooting at Israel’s Maccabiah Games: three gold, two silver, and one bronze.

Arthur died Nov. 16, 2019, at the family home in West Orange, N.J. He was 94. His late wife’s two uncles and four cousins all attended Princeton. Arthur is survived by children Howard, Peter, and Donna, and three grandchildren.
