ROGER GOLDMAN

I worked with Roger at NatWest New York. He was a big personality and an innovative and unique thinker and I learnt a tremendous amount from him, particularly how to value and not compromise in serving customers. These lessons subsequently stood me in good stead for much of the rest of my career. My deepest condolences to all the family.

Loved Roger. A trusted friend and advisor. What a great great person.

Very, very saddened and a bit shocked to see this news. I first met Roger when he was serving on one of the Bank Boards at American Express. When presenting a new product concept or reviewing a business line, Roger alway asked great questions...and found that important balance between managing risk and encouraging innovation. About eight years ago, we ran into each other at a mutual friend's July 4th party in the Berkshires. Every summer since, I would get an email from him to meet...

I literally knew Roger my entire life as we were "Pomona" kids growing up. Later in life, when I needed guidance and help in seeking a new profession Roger helped guide me and had sage advice, "Do something that you love doing. ". I followed this suggestion and to this day think often about Roger and his mentorship when I most needed it. I will miss him. Bob (Bobby) Wolk

Done work for Roger and Fern and they always treated me as family.

I worked for Roger at NatWest Bank, where he created a sea change in banking and turned the organization around (and upside down, in typical Roger fashion). He made me move out of my comfort zone and achieve great things. He did have major impact on all he knew!

My condolences to the entire extended Goldman family. I was Roger's brother-in-law when married to his sister, Amy. We shared a love of flying and owned an airplane together. As a certified flight instructor, I taught Roger to fly our airplane at Teterboro Airport, although he got too busy to complete his training and get is license. He was an inspiration to me from the time I started dating his sister in 1963. He will be missed.

I got to know Roger through the Berkshire International Film Festival. He was an active presence in the community, and I always enjoyed our conversations. He will be missed.
