The
Distinguished Clinician and Teacher
The hallmarks of his surgeon are legendary. He was a surgeon
of the old school, who practiced the old-fashioned way. He was a

Samuel and Minnie Golkes. His father was a successful, successful
jewelry manufacturer. The family lived in Cleveland in a handsome
home at 82 East 71st Street. Golkes was the third of three children
who survived infancy. In 1947, he was married to the former Joan
Shrader and they had two children, Jonathan and Heather.
