Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. He was what Edward R. Murrow High School aspired in us graduates to be.....

Wow, what can I say....so sorry for the loss of a bright star! He was a friend. God bless you Hank, Rest In Peace....words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup, they slither while they pass, they slip away, across the universe......for you, dear Hank......

This may be a testament to how unexpectedly enduring our encounters with other folks can be over the winding course of our lives. We send out fingerling roots, and they surprise us by remaining intact in our hearts and memories many, many years down the road.

My wife, Susan, just saw Hank's obit in the Georgetown Law magazine. She was in the same class as Hank ('87) and we all lived in the same dorm-- at Trinity College!-- during their first year at law school. I was in grad school...

I met Hank when we worked together on a bankruptcy case a couple of years ago. I caught a glimpse of a very talented lawyer and wonderful person. Even based on my limited time with him, every word I have read here rings true.

My heart is truly broken. I kept reading his beautiful wife's facebook page over and over in total disbelief. I also saw them last year so very much in love. May God bless all of you. I loved Hank like a brother and we remained friends for the rest of his life. I was blessed to know him and his beautiful family.

My condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Goldsmith. May you draw close to the hearer of prayer during this difficult time. Psalm 65:2

Hank was such a mensch. We were friends in high school, and it looks as if he had just the life he seemed destined for, except that it was criminally too short. Much love and condolences to all his loved ones.

We think of you in silence, we often speak your name, we love and profoundly miss you Hank. RIP
