101-year-old employee has been "fixture" at lighting company for 73 years

While most men lucky enough to live to be 100 years old are living a leisurely life, Hy Goldman says working is what keeps him young.

Having a passion and purpose keeps the 101-year-old going strong. "It gives me a reason to get up in the morning and go," he says.

Goldman works four days a week at Capitol Lighting in East Hanover. He is an institution at the company, where he's been employed for 73 years.

"He was very devoted to his wife, who was a wonderful lady who also worked for us," says co-owner Max Lebersfeld. "She passed away, but he came back from that."
