Richard and the Goldmark Family were close friends. I am blessed to have known Richard and Chuck, Annie, Derek and Colin Goldmark when we were all then living. https://www.seattlemet.com/articles/2018/10/15/a-rumor-in-madrona

Richard and I were classmates and friends in college, in law school, and then for seven years as associates at Sullivan & Cromwell. He was always a pleasure to be with, and the sharpness of both his intelligence and his wit were remarkable.
