Dearest Rita, Richard, Stephanie and Families- My heartfelt condolences to all of you during this difficult time. One of the true lucky breaks of my life was having the opportunity to work for and with the Goldberg family at Marshall´s. Ronnie was a true mentor and never too busy to show a young kid the right, or easier, way to get things done along with an explanation why. Thank you, Ronnie! Rest gently. Jack Malnati

Just learned of this due to an illness of my own. Ron was an exemplary friend, teacher, businessman, and his parents, with whom I also worked at Marshalls.
It was a wonderful period in my life and I will always remember him with gratitude and sincere fondness.

Dear Rita,

I'm still in shock after learning this tragic news. Ron and I were classmates at Moses Brown School, even roommates there our senior year together. Yom Kippur approaches, and I will be reflecting on Ron at this time. May he rest in eternal peace. God Bless your family.

To The Goldberg Family,

My Deepest Sympathy

I remember Ron well when I used to shop at Marshall's and he knew how to treat his customers with courtesy and respect. Many good memories, thanks to you.

My dearest Rita. I was shocked when I heard of your sad news. I am deeply sorry for your loss and ours as well. I use to see Ronnie going to work everyday when I lived on South Bow St. Always rushing. Marshall's was the place to go in Milford if you wanted fair and honest treatment. Saw the transformation from a clothing store to a beautiful jewelry store where every one wanted to say with pride, "I got this at Marshall's" I hope he was not sick long. He was a gem of a man like his dad. My condolences also to your lovely children.

Rita,Steph,Ronnie.........what can we say? Shocking and so devastatingly sad! our families have known and traded with the Goldbergs since they opened! Ronnie had a never aging face - too young, we lost Amy at "78" years old as well, we shall forever miss him and may God's Love Shine on all of you with His Love. Edward J & Melinda M Rappazini Sr.

Rita and family,

So sorry for your loss. Ronnie was one of the good guys. I loved working with him and Arnold during my "formative" years. They were great mentors and taught me a lot about something I knew nothing about. Rest in peace.

September 19, 2016

Sincere and heartfelt condolences to the Goldberg Family. Marshall's was an iconic presence for generations when Maine Street was "Main Street". Ron was a friendly, helpful, wonderful guy and an expert in his trade. Like many many people, we all have wonderful memories of Ron.

My heartfelt condolences to the Goldberg family. Marshall's Jewelry Store was the place to shop for beautiful jewelry and exquisite gifts for all occasions. The Goldbergs were such fine people who knew how to treat their customers and it was always a pleasant experience whenever I needed something.
