Kenneth Goodman ’34

Ken Goodman died at home in Livingston, N.J., May 22, 1997, after an extended illness. He was 84. Following graduation, Ken attended the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons and graduated high in his class in 1938, earning membership in the honorary medical society Alpha Omega Alpha. His postgraduate work was cut short when he volunteered for service in the Army Medical Corps, where he was among the first troops to deploy to the South Pacific. He separated from the Army in 1944 as a captain and returned to East Orange, N.J., where he established a medical practice that he maintained until he retired in 1992. In addition, he spent a number of years as an emergency room physician at Morristown Memorial Hospital. Throughout this period he pursued his love of the classics, and taught himself to read and write Greek. Ken always maintained a deep and abiding love for Princeton, and attended many reunions over the years.

He is survived by his wife, Eileen; his children, Kevin Pyhel, Elizabeth Gorman, Ken, and Mary Ellen Carbone; and by five grandchildren.
