CHARLES GOLDSTEIN

Charles Goldstein was definitely a force in his time. He had extraordinary taste and flair. I met him when I interviewed for a sales position at The 24 Collection in Bal Harbour and we definitely hit it off. I loved working there for a time and obviously left my paycheck at the door as I spent my earnings on so many beautiful pieces . G-d Bless his Soul and I am sure he is dressing so many Angels in Couture.

I remember Charles Goldstein in the early 1970s when he owned UID Electronics in Hollywood. They made switches for the electronics industry. I remember his silver Avanti car. He was a gentleman to work for.

Hard to believe it has been 6 years since Charlie's passing. Sad to note that Leon Charles Goldstein passed away earlier this year. His name "Charles" as his middle name was also for the same person Charlie Goldstein was named for, my great-grandfather. Regards to Patrick Goldstein!

I never got to see him enough due to where we lived, but do have pleasant memories of being with his son Patrick at Carolina Basketball school in 1965, and when Patrick dropped by my house in Atlanta in the early 70's and felt that the only decent record in my collection was Alice Cooper's "Love It to Death". Should have know then where Patrick was heading.

Charlie and I were high school classmates in 1940's at Druid Hills in Atlanta and had so many memorable experiences. I heard of his death from Sam Massell last week and want Elaine to know how much we will miss him.

Charles was a huge mentor for me...Cher Sandoz...he inspired me to keep creating clothing ...my best pieces were sold at his bal harbor store....I almost gave up...but he sustained my efforts....

Dearest Elaine,
I've only just read of the passing of your beloved Charles...my very deepest condolences to you and your family. It seems like yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Charles at his divine store, The 24 Collection, although it was so many years ago- back in the 70's. He was most definitely one of the premier luxury retailers in the country and responsible for introducing the best (then unknown) Italian, French & other designers to his clientele. His vision was unsurpassed...

Sad to hear of Chuck's passing. Many happy memories of college life.

I am a cousin of Charlie's and the same age as Patrick with whom I would like to contact. We went to Carolina Basketball School together in 1965 and I want to share some memories with him about his Dad. My mother is Betty Ann Shusterman and my uncle is Leon Goldstein.
