Funeral services will be held tomorrow for William Goldfine, long active in Jewish communal affairs, who died yesterday at the New York Hospital following a stroke last Tuesday. He was 78 years old. President and board chairman of the now defunct Royal National Bank of New York, Goldfine was chairman of the Israel Bond Organization in New York from 1963-66 and for many years was involved in the United Jewish Appeal.
He participated for more than 30 years in the affaires of the Hebrew Home for the Aged in Riverdale. N.Y. and served several terms as president. The home moved there in 1951 from Harlem and in 1957, under Goldfine’s guardians, constructed a 140-bed hospital at a cost of $3.5 million.
