GOLDWASSER, David Gary
David Gary Goldwasser, 85, of Dunwoody died on May 23, 2021 after an extended battle with cancer. David was the son of the late Harry and May (Friedman) Goldwasser. He is survived by his sister Marcia (Stuart) Naterman, brother Michael (Sonya) Goldwasser and 11 nieces and nephews. David was born at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta on August 7, 1935. David attended Smiley and SM Inman Elementary and Grady High Schools and would reminisce about his experiences riding the streetcar to nursery school and his AZA friendships and activities. David attended the University of Georgia and was a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi before returning to Atlanta to run the family business when his father became ill. David ran the Brooklyn Loan Company he retired in 2000. Upon retirement, David mentored young entrepreneurs on how to run a pawn shop, traveling and was an active participant with Pinch Hitters and at B'nai Torah. David served in the Army Reserves Unit 3283 from 1955-1978 with increasing responsibilities including serving as Secretary to Colonel Harry Faulkner. He was responsible for all the records and training other reservists. David had a love for travel, especially to Las Vegas and Japan, and was particularly fascinated by Japanese culture and history. David loved to tinker with mechanical equipment and appliances believing that WD40 and screwdrivers could fix almost anything. Even in his final days there was a can of WD40 on the table next to his computer. David will be remembered by his family for his wit and inability to arrive on time as well as his love for family and all things chocolate. The funeral will be held at Greenwood Cemetery at 2:30 on May 24 and shiva will at the home of Marcia and Stuart Naterman on Monday and Tuesday evenings at 7 PM.
