GOLDBLATT: Morton Goldblatt, age 91, of Boynton Beach, Florida, and Mt. Lebanon, passed away Nov. 17, 2024, at home. He is survived by his devoted and loving partner of 16 years Carole Kaufman, son Bruce Goldblatt, daughter Linda Goldblatt Amoroso, grandchildren Joshua Goldblatt, Erica Goldblatt and Rachel Amoroso, three great-grandchildren, former wife Harriet Weill, and two grand-dogs. He is predeceased by his grandson Adam Goldblatt, sister Louise Silverman, parents Harry and Elinore Goldblatt, and former partner Shirley Goldman. Mort will be remembered as a loyal and caring partner, beloved father and grandfather, and a great friend to many. He grew up in McKees Rocks and Squirrel Hill and was a graduate of Taylor Allderdice High School and the University of Pittsburgh. He was a member of the Phi Epsilon Pi fraternity at Pitt where he made many lifelong friends and was a regular at its annual reunions. After college he proudly served in the Air Force and was stationed overseas for four years in Germany and France. He continued his service in the Air Force Reserves, retiring as a lieutenant colonel. He was the owner of Goldblatt’s Men’s Store in McKees Rocks, and was an avid investor, golfer and gin rummy player. He loved elephants and had an eclectic collection of elephant sculptures and figurines. He enjoyed 85 years of uncommonly good health. Even after receiving three cancer diagnoses and undergoing several surgeries, he remained remarkably strong and upbeat. He was not perfect and had his fair share of quirks, but more than anything else he was a kind, modest, loyal and generous man, and will be dearly missed. We would like to thank Melissa, Stan and his other Heartland Hospice and Visiting Angels caregivers, for the wonderful care and support they provided. Services and interment private. Memorials may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice. Arrangements entrusted to Ralph Schugar Chapel, Inc. schugar.com PJC
