Milton J. "Milt" Gottschalk

MILTON J. "MILT" GOTTSCHALK, of Voorhees, NJ, died October 24, 2024.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, brother, uncle. cousin and friend.

Milt spent his career working for Rohm and Haas as a chemical Engineer and Logistics and New Business Development Manager. He excelled at bringing teams together and loved the work that he did for almost 30 years.

Milt’s truly greatest joys were his family and the philanthropic work done by the Soefer Family Foundation.

Whether building the TBS Sukkah or the Rabbi Lindeman library or bringing much needed help to seniors in need in Israel or young cancer patients here in the states, Milt was happiest doing for others. Nothing brought him more joy than contributing to the benefit of others.

And most of all, Milt took tremendous pride watching our children grow up to be wonderful, kind men - each embracing their own life and future families with love and joy.

Sail away my love, here’s to calm seas, majestic coves and endless horizons ahead….

Milt was the husband of Emily Gottschalk, father of Eric Gottschalk and Marc (Caroline Gomez) Gottschalk and brother of Margaret (Rod) Watterworth.
