yes, he had a massive stroke a couple years ago, but he was getting better. Last night he was still home and a couple of people were scheduled to go over to his house to sing with him & be him mechazek, but at 9:30 they got a phone call that he's not feeling well and he will be going to sleep early.

You can be proud of your achievements; you left over such a beautiful family of chushiv'eh children and grandchildren, tei'erah neshamos one by one.

Let me translate this for those who can't read Yiddish.

Reb Moshe Goldman recounted, that in the studio while a non-Jew was "mixing" (a process in producing an album) the song 'Elokei Neshomo' (a morning prayer where we thank G-d for giving us back our soul), he was crying. Then he told Reb Moshe A"H: I don't understand a word of what you are singing but it touched my heart.

As a personal friend , who was very close to R' Moshe Goldman Z'L, I am broken and saddend by his Petira, he was famous across the world for his thousands of niggunim that he composed and are sung in every Yiddishe home and thru his songs he brought us all closer to Hashem. His name ''Goldman'' was so befitting for him, he was a real man of gold, he had a heart of gold and helped so many people with his words of chizuk for everybody and in his hardest times he allways had a smile on his face and was mesameach and mechazek everbody..Yhi Zichro Boruch ..He left behind the most beautiful family that all go in his footsteps...

One of the nicest and erlichsteh people that one can meet in their lifetime. He was the epitomy of a Yid. People would point on him and wish they had children like him. כל שרוח הבריות נוחה הימנו רוח המקום נוחה הימנו. When someone sees a person like R' Moshe they would say "אשרי אביו שלמדו תורה אשרי רבו שלמדו תורה".

He was a walking kiddush Hashem.

Based on all the comments I am reading here it seems that Rabbi Goldman is a true product of the home that raised him. I am grateful that my son has a part in this. The aidelkeit in the Goldman family is indiscribable. May he be a Meilitz Yosher for his beautiful family and all of klal yisroel.

Reb Moshe also helped many couples with their Sholem bayis in a very quiet manner.... He (and his Eishas Chayil lbcl") raised such a beautiful family each one talented in their own unique way... Reb Moshe ZTL will be missed very much.... may he be a Mielitz Yosher to his whole family and extended family "Olem Hanegina" which is Gunz Klal Yisroel...
