Goldman’s family announced the details for the service on Monday, two days after his passing. The celebration of life memorial for the vibrant spirit, man of service and loyal friend to many is scheduled for Sunday, June 4 at 6 p.m., at Haulover Marine Center in Miami (15600 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, Fla.)

In the announcement, the family stated, “Larry is gone, but he’ll never be forgotten. Let’s come together as a community of those who loved him to celebrate the gifts of love, life and spirit he shared with all of us, and the time we were blessed to spend with him.”

Goldman died Saturday, May 27, reportedly following a stroke in a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., area hospital. He is survived by his wife, Jodi, and their children Jake and Jilian.
