Gene Frank Goldschmidt

He is also survived by numerous cousins and extended family. Gene’s parents, Raymond & Helen Goldschmidt, preceded him in death.

    One of Gene’s greatest passions in life was food. He was known around town for his mustard and horseradish business, Organic Cornucopia. He was an early pioneer during the revitalization of Findlay Market and was much beloved by market vendors and shoppers. Gene, quite literally, crowned himself the King of Horseradish and Mustard, after his stepson presented him with a bejeweled crown. Worn with a slight tilt and a twinkle in his eye, the King provided shoppers with some of the best mustard and horseradish His customers were drawn to his enthusiasm, offbeat humor, and his ability to talk to anyone about anything. Close behind his love for his family was his love for the members of Cincinnati’s food community. He thrived on the ideas, creativity, friendly arguments, and camaraderie.

    The King will be missed. Gene’s family thanks everyone for their outpouring of love and support. No funeral services will be held. In keeping with Gene’s wishes, a life celebration will be held. In lieu of flowers, please direct donations to Hospice of Cincinnati, http://www.hospiceofcincinnati.org/donate.shtml.
