Obituary

Nathaniel Goldsberg (aka Goldsboro), 86, of Williamstown, NJ (formerly Jersey City), passed away on October 23, 2026.

A distinguished Vietnam veteran of the United States Army, he was a hardworking man who took great pride in everything he did. He especially loved his career as a barber, a profession that allowed him to connect with people. Over the years, he built many lasting friendships with his customers, who came to know him not only for his skills but also for his outgoing personality and wonderful sense of humor. Funny, talkative, and always ready for a conversation, he made people feel welcome. He was a devoted and hands-on grandfather who took great pride in his grandchildren and made it a priority to be present in their lives. Above all, his family held a special place in his heart.

Beloved husband of the late Elaine Goldsberg. Devoted father of Kitty Goldsberg Douglas and the late Diane Robinson. Loving grandfather of Joshua Douglas, Madyson Douglas, and Morgan Douglas. Dear son of the late Thomas Henry Goldsberg and Sylvia Bell Webb Goldsberg. Cherished brother of Christine Giddens, Mary Arizona Lawrence, Shirley Enix, and Margaret Curtis-Austin, and esteemed uncle to several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his siblings James Henry Goldsberg, Thomas Henry Goldsberg, Arthur Louis Goldsberg (Hippo), Delsena Mae Goldsberg, and Mattie Adel Goldsberg Jamison.

Relatives and friends are invited to his visitation on Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM, at the Farnelli Funeral Home, 504 N. Main Street, Williamstown, NJ. A Celebration of Life and Military Honors will begin at 1:00 PM.
