EAST HANOVER, N.J. — Herman "Hy" Goldman turned 101
this weekend and won't quit after 73 years working at the same New
Jersey job.
Goldman still shows up four days a week at light fixtures
company Capitol Lighting in East Hanover. His co-workers celebrated
his birthday with him on Monday.
Aside from a brief absence to serve in the U.S. Army in World
War II, Goldman has worked at Capitol Lighting since 1941. The
store says he was first hired to sell items and stock and clean the
displays.
Co-worker Sandy Ronco says Goldman now specializes in rebuilding
items that were damaged or unusable.
Goldman lives in nearby Whippany and still drives himself to
work.
