ELIHU GORODESKY

Elihu Jacob Gorodesky passed away peacefully on Tuesday September 7, 2021.

Born in Philadelphia on November 8, 1933 to Charles and Nettie (Lefkowitz) Gorodesky, Elihu married Lois, the love of his life (may her memory be a blessing) and raised two loving sons Ron (Deborah) and Rich (Jodi).

In addition to his family, Elihu was passionate about music and table tennis. He enjoyed playing and teaching the piano and performed for years at a variety of venues. He was also known for hosting weekly table tennis tournaments with some of the top players in the Philadelphia region.

Elihu was a talented cabinetmaker, who could build or fix nearly anything. He was also a veteran and served on the USS New Jersey, which at the time was the largest battleship in the world, which years later he enjoyed touring with his sons after it was permanently docked in Camden, NJ.

Elihu was pre-deceased by his brothers Sidney (Myra) and Ezra, and sister Marcy. He is also survived by Sidney and Myra's loving daughters Nancy and Dana.

In addition to his sons and their wives, and 4 grandchildren Max, Lea, Lauren and Adam, Elihu is survived by his companion of many years, Gloria.
