Obituary

Jonathan “Yoni” Goldsmith

Beloved son of the late Fern and Alexander Goldsmith, brother to Debbie (Menachem) Yossinger and Shmuel Eliezer Goldsmith. Partner in shenanigans to nieces Shellie Yossinger (of blessed memory), Maya (Lior) Zamir and Nili Yossinger. Really fun(ny) uncle to Sarah Goldsmith, Ben Goldsmith and Aryeh (Cristina) Goldsmith; Great-uncle to Shellie Zamir and Arielle Zamir. Affectionately referred to by his nieces and nephews as ‘Uncle Buck,’ Yoni was always looking for ways to help them break the rules! He was a lifelong and loyal friend to Phyllis Licata, an extreme astronomy enthusiast, an avid reader, and a walking encyclopedia of music. Last but not least, he was an amazing dad to cats EJ and Sparky, and uncle extraordinaire to our Akita, Mocha. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Yoni's memory to Make-a-Wish Illinois, 640 North LaSalle Drive Suite 280, Chicago, Illinois 60654 www.wish.org/illinois. Graveside service Friday 10AM at Waldheim - Anshe Knesses Israel Cemetery (Gate 1) 1400 Des Plaines Avenue, Forest Park, IL. To attend the funeral live stream, please visit our website.
