Irwin Goodman, a pillar of the Madison community who along with his brother Robert gave more than $10 million to philanthropic causes, died Sunday at his Madison home. He was 94.
Though he amassed his fortune selling jewelry, Goodman was able to give so much because of his frugal lifestyle, colleagues said.
….The Goodmans have been among the cityâ??s most philanthropic citizens, providing millions of dollars for civic events, UW-Madison athletics, the United Way of Dane County and the Madison Community Foundation.
