Not sure what to say?

Mr. & Mrs. Goldman were the ones that encouraged me to continue my aspirations for YoungPeace...way back in 1985.

Here we are, 34 years later and I still hear them.

May they Rest In Eternal Peace.

I Cherrie White, was introduced and enrolled in the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in the 1960's via a scholarship... through the kindness and the gift of help to the economic deprived youth. I am still thankful, and to all that contributed. You will always, be remembered. I am helping young people to find their voice... I've found this...God Loves True Service...Cherrie,
The Doll Lady! My maiden name as a youth!(White.)

Thank you for changing a little bit of my world.

It is a better world because Richard Goldman lived in it and he will be missed. But the good he brought to the world will live on. May he rest in peace. Alvina and Jim Balog

Dear Marianne:

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy upon the passing of your brother.

Although there is precious little one can say or do at a time like this, I hope the kind wishes of your many friends will help ease your grief.

All my thoughts and prayers are with you now.

Sincerely,

Like most people involved with Cal Berkeley and the Bay Area, I knew the name Richard Goldman for decades and once enjoyed a pleasant chat with Rhoda Goldman in the 1980s. I initially met Richard, however, at my first Cal Grid Club lunch in 2004 which I attended as the newly designated Cal Faculty Athletics Representative and was flattered when he asked that we sit together.
This was the beginning of a series of discussions ranging across such subjects as US government and politics,...

Our heartfelt sympathy in your great sorrow.

Dick and Rhoda Goldman were magnificent friends and generous benefactors to the entire San Francisco Bay Area non-profit community. While they both will be and are missed they instilled in their children and grandchildren that with great wealth comes great responsibilities to others especially those less fortunate. As former member of staff of the World Affairs Council I enjoyed getting to know Mr. Goldman and he was a true gentlemen. RIP and now you and Rhoda can be together again.
