Goldenkranz, Jack W.

Born in 1897, Goldenkranz was a physician, fire buff, and member of the Bronx Rotary Club (president, 1970-1971). During World War II, he was a physician in the army, serving at military hospitals in Texas and Virginia, attaining the rank of major. He arranged for a set of fire bells to be installed in his office and home, and would rush to the scene of fires, offering medical assistance to firemen and civilians free of charge. He created the Goldenkranz Award for valor (awarded annually to a fireman) and was appointed Honorary Assistant Chief of the Fire Department about 1974. He married Helen Vincent in 1935 (she died in 1968).
