| 78 | 2 | Jul, 2022 | GAHERTY, JOSEPH WILLIAM | QM | 1/27/2022 | Joseph William Gaherty, 101, passed away on April 25, 2022, at the Meadows in Rutland, VT. Joseph was born in Lenox on November 27, 1920, the son of Daniel and Mary (Chague) Gaherty. After graduating from Lee High School in 1938, he started as a machine operator for the Smith Paper Company at the Eagle Mill. He finished his 42 years of employment as a laboratory technician at the Columbia Mill then operated by the Schweitzer-Maudit Division of Kimberly Clark Corporation. Aside from his work life, Joe developed a deep love for the game of baseball at an early age. He spent many hours at the Lenox Dale ball field and became a talented left-handed pitcher. He played for the Lee High School team and while still in school he became a starting pitcher for the Lenox Hutchison Oilers and Tillotson AC. During his baseball career, he was a member of several other semi-professional teams including the Majestics, Pittsfield Tyler Aces, Lee Sons of Italy and HomGas (Great Barrington). He was particularly proud of a complete 16-inning game he pitched against the Dalton team. While playing for the Lee Sons of Italy team in 1946, he helped the team win local, regional, and state championships that earned them a bid at the national championship in Wichita Kansas. His baseball memorabilia are on display at the Baseball in the Berkshires exhibit in Dalton. His Berkshire baseball career was interrupted by his service in the Quartermaster Company, 106th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army from 1942–1945. During basic training, he pitched for the Division team. The 106th embarked for Europe in November 1944 and quickly faced the German counteroffensive in Belgium that December, now known as the Battle of the Bulge. He was fortunate to survive the war unscathed despite serving in a chaotic combat area. Joe loved the outdoors and had a great appreciation for the natural world. He enjoyed fishing, gardening, swimming, walks in the woods, and just hanging out at his cabin in Becket. He had a great sense of humor and was a great storyteller. Although he was faced with physical challenges in his later years, they never dampened his true spirit. His wife, Enes predeceased him in December 2020 after 70 years of marriage. He is survived by his son, Daniel Gaherty and his wife Liza of Milton VT, and his daughter Mary Ann Gaherty-Reich and husband Harvey Reich, M.D. of Mendon VT. He is also survived by grandchildren, Zachariah, Jillian, and Jeremy. Reported by Wayne Dunn | |

| 71 | 2 | Jul, 2015 | GATENS, JOHN FRANCIS, JR. | 589/A | 5/11/2015 | My good buddy, John Gatens, 589/A, has left us for that big parade ground in the sky. As many of you know, John and I had mutual experiences, not only the battle at Parker"s Crossroads, but many re-visits together to the battleground in recent years. Our stories have appeared in The CUB. Remember him. Reported by John Schaffner (589/A) John Gatens, taken prisoner by the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge, was venerated in Belgium, the country he and his comrades liberated. The World War II hero returned the love. He went back to Belgium again and again, most recently over Memorial Day last year with his two daughters and other relatives. “They treated him like a king,” daughter Anne Barone said. Mr. Gatens, 91, died Monday in the Fair Lawn home where he lived since 1951. Until a diagnosis of cancer four months ago, the retired draftsman had been vigorous. “He"d just been on a cruise and signed up for another,” his daughter said. John Gatens was 2½ years old when his family emigrated from Scotland. They settled in Paterson. John played baseball at Eastside High School with his friend Larry Doby, the future Hall of Famer. He graduated in 1941 with plans to pursue baseball, but was drafted into the Army after Pearl Harbor. Mr. Gatens served as a gunner corporal on a 105mm howitzer in the 106th Infantry. Days after his division arrived at the Belgian-German frontier in December 1944, the Germans launched a major offensive that would be known as the Battle of the Bulge. At the outset, Mr. Gatens destroyed a leading German tank with direct fire from his howitzer; days later, he held off the Germans at a key crossroads, according to Carl Wouters, the Belgian chapter president of the 106th Infantry Division Association. The crossroads fell, and “when I saw the German army advancing, I ran into a farmhouse where our soldiers were warming up to get them out and hold the German forces back,” Mr. Gatens said last year in an interview with the Suburban News. “They began to bomb us. The German officer said I had a choice to surrender or get shot. There are no heroes when you are looking at a tank taking aim at you.” Mr. Gatens remained a POW for four months. On the 50th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, a vintage U.S. howitzer was placed at the Baraque de Fraiture crossroads to honor the Americans who fought the Germans there. It is known as “Gatens" gun.” Wouters said by email that Mr. Gatens stayed in touch with the Belgian family that owns the farmhouse/inn where he was taken prisoner. “John very openly talked about his experiences as a GI in battle and as a prisoner of war and truly embodied the best of what Tom Brokaw called so fittingly the "Greatest Generation,"” Wouters said. “He has many friends all over the world who will dearly miss him, but who will never forget him and his powerful story.” John Gatens married his wife, Annamae, in 1946. He worked as a draftsman at Singer Kearfott in Little Falls. Annamae Gatens died in 1986. Mr. Gatens is survived by his daughters, Helen Daly of Andover Township and Anne Barone of Fair Lawn, four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Three years ago, Mr. Gatens honored his fallen comrades at a wreath-laying ceremony at the Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery in Belgium. “Right now, it is sad because tonight, when I fall asleep — if I fall asleep — memories start coming back,” he said in remarks posted on the website of the American Battle Monuments Commission. “ … The average age under these stones is 24 years old. It hurts me. The only thing I"m glad about is that I am not under one of them.” Burial will be in Cedar Lawn Cemetery, Paterson. By Jay Levin, Staff Writer The Record NorthJersey.com | |

| 76 | 1 | Mar, 2020 | GOLDBERG, LEON | 422/D | 12/13/2019 | Leon Goldberg, of Philadelphia, PA, died of pancreatic cancer at home under Hospice care after a brief illness. He left his daughters, Diane and Shelley, and his more recently acquired daughters, Deborah and Dina, as well as his ever-adoring wife Elaine when he passed away at age 97. He left wonderful memories for us all. Leon began his active military service as part of the 106th Infantry Division on December 16th, 1944, on the front lines of the Battle of the Bulge; he was buried on December 16, 2019, 75 years later. After three successful days of battle across a narrow dip in the woods, Leon"s unit found itself out of food, water, and ammunition, and with no back-up artillery. On that next day, a German officer came across the hill that faced the American unit, bearing a white flag, and soon escorted the American leader, Major William Moon, back behind the German lines. He convinced Moon that the Germans had surrounded the American unit and were well prepared to blow it to smithereens in 15 minutes if they attacked. They preferred, however, to take them prisoners because they were in a hurry to keep moving. Moon surrendered Leon"s troops and they joined a 13-day-long march and train ride to the German prisoner-of-war camps. Luckily, Leon was dropped off at Stalag IV-B, where the Germans in charge were regular army, not SS troops, who did not single Leon out as a Jew for special punishment. By the time the war ended, and Leon came back to the States, he had lost 35 pounds and contracted hepatitis, but he made it. He returned to Philadelphia, married his high school sweetheart Esther and became a CPA and a partner in Stein, Goldberg and Co. In his eighties, Leon left his firm (then Goldberg, Boyle and Brogan), taking 95 clients with him because they wanted him to continue to do their personal work from home. It was at about that time that he discovered the 106th Infantry Division Association and we began attending its reunions. Leon was always very active in organizations that provided comradery and help to people who needed it but his last decade or so was focused primarily on conveying the message that war was terrible and should be avoided, if at all possible. He wore his “Battle of the Bulge Survivor, POW MIA” cap or his 106th Infantry Division cap whenever reasonable and was very pleased to talk to people who stopped to share their family stories or questions or thanks for his service. (One of his President"s messages in The Cub developed this theme.) His gentle sense of humor was well known and almost always appreciated. I"d like to end by sharing with you one of his last messages to many of his close friends and family members: A Message from Leon “As you may or may not know, I was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. For that reason, I want to invite you to join me at a gathering where we can meet again while I am still able and we can say goodbye. Sunday, November 3, 2019 from 2–5 p.m., The Green Hill Condominium, Lobby, Wynnewood PA 19096Many of you will not be able to come and that"s okay. You have all enriched my life in one way or another and I thank you. “He would have been pleased to have you all there. Reported by his wife Elaine Goldberg | |

Elliott Goldstein 589/HQ 191 Peachtree NE 16th Floor, Atlanta, GA 30303-1740 From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (in part) and some quotes from Col. Goldstein: "Harriet Weinberg Goldstein and I were married 62 years. She died of heart failure December 29, 2004 at the age of 85. Our initial art collection gave no clue that she would become a benefactor to the High Museum of Art for more than 40 years. "We bought art of questionable quality that we could afford," he said. "Over time she educated herself and developed a great eye for great art. As our resources improved, we were able to buy musem-quality paintings an sculpture." "We recently enabled the High Museum ofArt to buy pieces by Joseph Stella and Morris Louis. We were honorary chairmen of the High's Winslow Homer exhibit in 2001" "Her generosity was an integral part of enabling the growth of our permanent collection to inspire future generations," said High Director Michael E. Shapiro. Mrs. Goldstein and the Colonel were drawn to 20th Century artists. Today their home is filled with museum quality art. "They are part of our life," he said. Her friend, Wicke Chambers of Atlanta said of her, "She had a merry spirit about her. She was just a tiny thing but had a big spirit. She was always very aware of what was going on." Other survivors include two daughters, Lily Friedlander of Atlanta and Ellen Goldstein of San Jose, Costa Rica; a sister Sonia Schwartz of Sarasota and one grandson. Another note of interest from the obituary, "At the time her husband was in the military service in World War II, Harriet took up the career of Army wife, traveling to posts in the United States and rooms near Army maneuvers. When her husband went overseas, she joined other women in Civil Defense Volunteer Corps which monitored aircraft in the Atlanta area. After his discharge from service, she devoted her considerble energies to his legal career and her role as a mother. She encouraged and supported young artists, not only with her praise for their work but also through financial support." | |

He and Phyllis were married for 66 years, until her passing on June 18, 2015. They were faithful parishioners at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, and Raymond was also a member of the Knights of Columbus. Raymond is preceded in death by his wife, Phyllis Gurule, his sons, Fred Gurule and Anthony Gurule, his daughter, Theresa Gurule-Fails, his sisters, Virginia Pruitt and Gloria Catnach. He is survived by his sons, Herman Gurule and Robert Gurule, his daughters, Stella Harris (Ron), LouElla Graffis (Paul— deceased), his brothers Pat Gurule (Barbara) and Edumenio Gurule, his sister Beatrice Rodela (Phil), 15 grandchildren, 32 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. | |

106th Infantry Division Obituaries (2449 Obits; 263 Unpublished)
Due to the extreme number of obituaries that we have discovered that were never reported to the Asociation, and the fact it would require many CUB's to print them all, we have decided to publish them all electronically.
This will include both those reported, plus the ones we have discovered.
Below are the obituaries known to the Association.
If the obit was published in a CUB, the columns 'Vol', No', Mth/Yr' will indicate the issue of the CUB. 'Add' means not published in a CUB.
If you have a missing obit, or know the website of a missing obit, please send us an email.
