With love and sadness, we announce the passing of Jerry Gold, devoted husband of Selma Widlitz Gold beloved father of Gary (Suzanne) and Lisa, and proud grandfather of Alex, Melanie, and Jaden. He was a dear brother-in-law to Susan Widlitz and cherished his nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Nettie, his brother Marty, and brother-in-law Charles Widlitz.

Jerry will be remembered for his humor, warmth, friendliness to all and endless smiles he gave and shared across his life. He was the owner of Harper's, a volunteer at the Jewish Home, an Inwood Board member, and a lifelong Yankees fan.
