John T. Golden

John T. Golden, age 82, of Holland, formerly of Philadelphia, passed away surrounded by his loving family on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.

John grew up in the Fishtown section of Philadelphia and was a 1962 Graduate of Northeast Catholic High School. After graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served his country proudly as a member of the US Army Reserves. He had a strong work ethic and always found things that needed to be done on the weekends. His family joked that he bought a house in the Poconos just to have something he could work on.

John was dedicated to his grandkids and was always happy when spending time with them. He was a huge Eagles and Phillies fan and also liked to watch western movies on GRIT TV. For many years, he was an active member of the St. Michael's Shamrock Society and a proud member of the Northeast Catholic Alumni Association.

Beloved husband of Judith A. (nee Elliott). Cherished father of Eileen (Jeff) Carter and Karen (Mike) Harrigan. Devoted grandfather of Kaitlyn, Paige and Connor. Loving brother of Joseph (Marian) Golden. Dave (Kathy) Golden, the late Paul (Barbara) Golden Jr., and the late Anne (the late Charles) Diener. Also survived by many nieces and nephews.
