I grew up around Tom Goldsmith and his family in Montclair. I last visited with him in WA state. He was a wonderful man and good friend of my parents.

The Goldsmith's were neighbors of ours in Cedar Grove, New Jersey. Dr. Goldsmith interviewed my husband Fred for a job opening in the new Dumont facility in Passaic, N.J.

My husband respected Tom's brilliance.

I was only one year old when I moved away from Montclair, so have no personal memories of our father's work at DuMont.

My condolences to the family.

Thanks to a great and happy man,
Tom Goldsmith, and his always hospitable welcoming family at Panorama. He was positive, intelligent, understanding and a perpetual giver. We feel lucky to have been neighbors and among his wealth of friends.
