To the Goldfine family,
I met Erv and his brother while working at channel 10 TV during my college days at UMD. They both had such a good sense of humor. I've been gone from Duluth for over 30 years but still go back to Duluth in the summers.
The nostalgia when back in Duluth is amazing to me. The Goldfines were always a big part of the Duluth scene. When going to Superior I always show my children where Goldfine's used to be!
Erv will be missed by more people than just his immediate family.
He was a big force in turning Duluth around from an industrial area to a tourist area.
Thanks for your life's work Erv.
P.S. I see the Goldfine name on real estate signs in Sanford FL, any relation?

I remember in the early 1950's Erv and Monnie generously gave us as kids some baseball equipment for our youth team. They both are an institution in Duluth.

One of my favorite people. A modest, quiet but highly influential man whose efforts touched so many us. Erv will be missed by everyone who knew him.

He truly was a wonderful, kind and generous man. You hope that during your lifetime you are able to have as a friend a person like Erv. I was lucky enough to be such a friend. Rest in peace old friend.

When I graduated from UMD in 1983, I was also working at the Holiday Inn. Erwin was quite involved in the hotel at that time. I learned that he would be handing out diplomas at the commencement ceremony and I asked him if he could give me mine. He arranged it, and as I crossed the state to accept my diploma, he handed it to me and gave me a kiss and a hug. That has always meant so much to me.
