Byron Gould Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

GOULD, Byron Blair “Whitey” – 64, of North Cape May and formerly of Philadelphia, PA, passed away in the comfort of his home with his family at his side on Friday, January 10, 2020. Byron was known foremost for his dedication & compassion in helping those suffering through the recovery process. He was a true inspiration to those fighting some of the hardest battles they would face. Byron was a pure and genuine soul that cared so deeply about his family and friends. If he crossed your path he stuck like a magnet, and his infectious personality will be forever engraved. Byron was the type of guy who would give you the shirt off of his back, unless you went out early fishing with him and the bugs were biting. That charm of Byron’s quickly slipped when fishing was on the agenda, that was his time to shine. His favorite days were spent out in the water casting out his fishing rod, or marching down Broad Street with the 12 Steppers in the mummers parade. Byron’s number one priority during his mummers years was finding the camera to get on TV to say “HI Mom!”. The most cherished moments of Byron’s were spent outdoors with his beloved wife and two pups exploring open fields and trails. This world lost an amazing husband, father, brother, uncle and friend, but we gained a one of a kind angel who will be remembered in bliss. Until next time Whitey, keep the music playing. He is predeceased by his parents, Naomi Gould (nee Biehl) and Blair Gould. Byron is dearly missed and forever loved by his family which includes his wife of 34 years, “Mooch” (Harriet); three children, Dylan, Jake and Rylee; three sisters, Helen (Mark), Janet (Larry) and Nancy (Lenny); as well as his nieces and nephews, Sean, Ryan, Philip, Kerri, Nicholas, Nancy, Patrick, Kevin and Jackie; great nieces and great nephews, cousins, extended family, many dear friends and LAST BUT NOT LEAST his four-legged companions, Loki and Petey.
