Dr. Goldberg was a person who was a prominent mentor during my life in my 20´s & 30´s. He was my mom´s doctor, my employer & a good friend. He treated his crew like family. I learned a lot about life & serving others through his actions. He is greatly missed.

Dear Marilyn and Victor, I am so sorry to hear about your brother. I wish you and your family all the best in this difficult time. Dana

Our deepest condolences on the sudden passing of a remarkable man.
We send our love to his entire family. Lois and Jerry Markowitz

Anita and I were shocked to hear of Richard's death. I have known and admired him since our student days at Jefferson. He was truly an all around, compassionate Ophthalmologist and quite an accomplished artist. anita and I saw his show at Widener and viewed the aesthetic side of his personality. It has been our pleasure to have known Richard. Shelly/anita morris

What a lovely man Dr. Goldberg was... I am sorry that I won't be able to attend his service. We have lost a wonderful person.

Dick was simply "the best" in so many categories. It was a distinct treasured honor to have known and interacted with such a fine doctor and all around human being. He lives on in my mind and so many others.

Hello. Just heard and stopped me in my tracks last night as I exited the Plastic Club after drawing session. Dick was a fellow artist and perpetually encouraging me. I lectured and curated for him; delving into notions of color, perception, awareness, light. He was ever gracious, happy, and quick with heartfelt compliments. And shall remain a living presence with me in my work, life, art. With love, Rick Wright.
