Al was the person responsible for my promotion into the grocery world. I have many fond memories of his teachings and guidance through my professional career. He was a great leader and person to me. I will miss.

Cousin Al was a part of my life growing up in the San Fernando Valley with my parents in the 1960s and 1970s. He had a big personality, a good sense of humor and a very generous spirit. He worked hard and was a devoted husband and father. I will miss him.

My partner, Ben, and I send our deepest sympathy to Carol, Linda, Candy and the family. Although we are unable to attend the services, Al and all of you will be in our thoughts.

Love,
Daniel

To the Goldstein Family: I started with Boys in 1965. Joe was a true leader and a wonderful human being. When Al joined the company he was my boss. I held a very high respect for everyone in this family. They were all my mentors and helped me grow as an individual and grocer. This is a family that starting with Joe, recognized the importance of their people and always treated everyone with respect. They truly were diversified long before it became the thing to be. I applaud this family and their heritage for making this industry what it is today! I am proud to say this is where I began my journey. Love to All of You! Kay

He was my mentor, took me under his wings and taught me everything I know about the food industry.He was a decent and interesting man.

Mr. Goldstein was one of the first people I met when I started in the business in 1978 - and today I am still working with people who got their start at Boys. I am so sorry for Candy, whom I have loved, laughed and cried with over the years. Mr. Goldstein has left quite a legacy in the form of his children, and all those young people he brought up in the Industry.
On behalf of Bernie Fishgold, Dick Soderlund and Steve Horowitz we wish the family only good memories.
