Dear Goldsmith Family,
I am deeply saddened by Jim's death. If you can and want to remember, he was always so nice to me and was wonderful at welcoming me in to your family. I am sorry I was not able to see him or attend his funeral, as I just found out today. His illness didn't give him much time. He will be forever in my heart as someone I loved dearly. As I have for several years, I will miss him greatly. My best wishes to all of you.
Deb

To the Family of Jim Goldsmith,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Jim had a commanding presence and left a lifelong impression on everyone he came in contact with. Jim was my Commander in Chief when I was State Commander of Louisiana. Jim was a good friend to me as well as a teacher, I learned a lot from him. Jim was an outstanding veteran's advocate as well an outstanding veteran. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. May the family find peace in the arms of our Lord...

To the Family of Jim Goldsmith,
I had the honor of driving for Jim when we had the National Conventions in Milwaukee when he became Commander in Chief. I was never so motivated and impressed with his character. He will be deeply missed by everyone he knew. I express my deepest of sympathy and wish I could be there to attend his funeral. God Bless all of you, your all in my prayers. Dept of Wisconsin VFW

To the Family of James N. Goldsmith Sr.
Sue and I wanted to express our sympathies in your loss. Jim was my Commander-in-Chief the year I was State Commander in Wisconsin. I will never forget the friendship we had, or the good times we shared. I last saw Jim at our Commanders Testimonial last year about this time in Platteville, WI. May he rest in peace, the suffering for Jim has ended, and I am sure he is with the Lord in Heaven. God Bless.

I met Jim when GLNC opened and I will never forget him. He has made a lasting impression in my mind and heart. He truly loved helping people. I saw many of his presentations and always listened cuz he had a new joke or a crazy answer for odd questions. I got a hug each time I saw him and even a kiss once to remember him by. The veteran population has lost a great leader. He will be truly loved and missed by everyone.
