Larry Goldman

Growing up in the central Bronx afforded kids so many things, everything really. Looking back now seems nostalgic however life then, (baby boomers) and there (Pelham Parkway) was anything but provincial. The neighborhood had candy stores that were like miniature department stores where you could buy comic books and baseball cards, school supplies and egg creams, and the staple of so many young boys, the Spaldeen. The rubber ball ruled. Primarily made by Spalding, (for some reason all kids...

I loved that guy! He could be direct, reassuring, helpful, and loyal. Here comes my story for 2021. We were in gym class together in high school where in this particular class, we had a period of a variety of options to choose (basketball, volleyball, etc.) Larry was definitely one of our better athletes and with perfect form and grace. While playing, a ping pong ball rolled over to me from a short distance. I bent down and picked it up to toss it to the ping pong players and in so...

Meryl, I believe I saw you yesterday in the OC. I would have liked to say hello to you.
I'm so very sorry for your loss.
I also lost my soulmate to cancer in 2013.
So amazing to see the little girl that I watched all grown up.
Peace and sympathy to you.

I met Larry over 30 years ago. The
Goldman family and I were neighbors in Tarzana, California.
I'm very sorry to hear of his passing.
My sincere sympathy to his family.

Although we lost touch when he moved to California, we re-connected via Facebook.

Gone way too soon! A great guy, a noted and respected publicist but mainly a wonderful man whom I've known since he first went to work at Jay Bernstein's place on Sunset. He was a good friend and a good-humored and bright gentleman. Rest in peace, Larry.

A loss is always diminishing, especially someone who is part of your coming of age, your adolescence, your emergence into adulthood, one of your guys. It is so terribly sad. My goodness.
There was a ton of time spent together, numerous hangs, poker games, a slice and a Coke, conversations and practically living in the schoolyard spent playing 3-man hoops, stickball and two-hand touch football. He was a nice guy and way too young to go. And so all I can say here is RIP Larry.
