星期一,2024年4月22日-下午1:30

卡姆登——安东·乔丹·古德于5月9日出生, 1960年致凯伦·乔丹, 一个独立的, 十大网赌网址在纽约的勇敢而充满活力的年轻女性. 凯伦在下东区工作, where she met the artist and future jewelry master 迈克尔好, whom she subsequently married and who adopted Anton officially in 1968.

这座城市对安东来说是一片混乱, whose dyslexia and early traumas were to affect him for the rest of his life. 1968年,他的家人搬到了缅因州, living off the land in the quintessential “back to nature” lifestyle in Eastport – a challenge for Anton, who struggled with the loose academic structures of a community of “retired hippies” as he called them. He persevered and graduated from SHEAD high school in Eastport, where his guidance counselor suggested taking a four-credit welding class – setting in motion Anton’s path to becoming a master craftsman.

The welding skills enabled Anton to get a specialist job at Bath Iron 工作s, where he worked for a few years before moving to Camden in 1978. There he joined Michael and 凯伦, who had started their next venture, 迈克尔好 Designs. 凯伦现在单枪匹马地管理着公司, 安东开始学习金属加工, 锻造, 加工技能. 他是这个家庭不可或缺的一员, fabricating many of the specialized 太ls in his basement forge, and contributing to both the jewelry and sculpture produced at MGD, 公司. He continued for the rest of his life to run their machine shop, 手工锻造许多珠宝商的工具, and assisting in machine 太l design and implementation.

Anton’s true passion was his fascination and dedication to creating exquisite knives, the inspiration from a life of working in and out of the food service industry. 他在日本呆过一段时间, where the culture and opportunity to sharpen katanas (Samuri swords) impacted him greatly. 他在卡姆登创办了Jordan Knives, 他自己的磨刀生意, simultaneously taking workshops over the years and developing his craft with meticulous pinwork and gorgeous handle woods. 

Anton loved fishing and going camping at Baxter State Park, maintained a love of Anime and Japanese art and culture, 是一个狂热的读者, and loved being the surrogate parent of Michael’s dogs when he went away. He was a reticent soul, whose life revolved around his craft and the machinist world he inhabited. 他对母亲的忠诚, 凯伦, 他的一生都很明显吗, 她在2015年的去世是一个毁灭性的打击, resulting in many challenges for him in trying to cope.  

11月19日,他在家中去世, 2023, 被他忠诚的家人包围着, whose continued love and support of him over the years was essential to his being. 如果他能说清楚最后的想法, 他们可能包括:照顾好你的健康, 感谢那些关心和支持你的人, and do not hesitate to extend a helping hand and heart to those in need – you don’t know how much it matters.

安东留下了他的兄弟和嫂子, Gil and Ilanit Kleiman of Israel and their 3 children; his sister, Avi Good and husband Peter Beal; his nephew, Alaric; and his father, 迈克尔好, 整个卡姆登.

私人家庭服务在丹尼斯维尔举行.
