Nelson L. Goldberg

Dear Mrs. Goldberg, Freddy, Brad & Eric,



I was so saddened to hear about Mr. Goldberg and wished I could have been with you at this very difficult time.



I have to tell all of you just how much your family and your friendships have always meant to me.



Even though I don't speak to Brad, Eric or Freddy that frequently, I am always thinking about all three of you, years & years of incredible and countless memorable times together and really have to thank all of you for always being such good guys and never having a dull moment ever in your company.



Brad - I will call you soon in LV just to see how you are.



I have years of indelible memories of all five of you and that incredible weekend when I was fortunate enough to actually come visit with you in Fox Chapel - the beer pong still stings...but I'll get over it. Just one thing to settle from B8, Brad, I still think my Dad's Nikon on Vistor's Day was a 'bit' bigger than your Dad's ;)



Lastly, any parent, especially your Dad, could not be anything except exceptionally proud, blessed and comforted to have 3 incredibly, bright, talented and gifted sons.



You all honour his memory.



I hope to see you in the near future.



With heartfelt sympathy to you all & warmest regards,



Mark Redhill

Dear Eric, Brad and Fred,



Eric knows I had been attempting for some time to get "home" to Pittsburgh to say goodbye to my dear friend, Nelson. He was a very special person to me and my family and greatly influenced my young life in many ways, especially giving me confidence in myself and my abilities. He was unique in every way...a true visionary, a kind and supportive friend. It's hard to believe that was almost forty years ago. The memories are as vivid as if it was yesterday. I will miss just knowing he is "there" for me as he always was. Our sincere condolenses to you and your families.



Sincerely,



Diane (Devlin), Alan, Lianne and Jessica Gordon

I was sorry to hear about Nelson. My deepest sympathy to the family.

Fred and Eric, I am sorry to hear the news and my sympathy goes out to you and your beautiful familys. Sorry I can't make the funeral but my heart is with you.

So sorry to hear of Nelson's passing. He always offered me encouragement and enjoyed my 'on-air' work at his stations. Spending 25 years in radio was a great experience, but my best years were with Nelson at 'KPA and 'YDD. Great times. Thank you Mr. Goldberg.

My sincere sympathy to the family of Nelson. As a parttime employee of TCS years ago, Nelson was a friend as well as the boss. He was always looking for the perfect show. May he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy for Marsha and the boys. Having worked for Nelson for more than 8 years, he filled my life with memories that live on. Oh the stories that would fill a library and our eyes with tears of laughter. Thank you Nelson.

Nelson was such a positive influence in my life. Not only did he believe in me, but he taught me to believe in myself and gave me the gift to dream of possibilities. I will truly miss him. My heartfelt sympathy to his family.

Nelson educated us in the arts of dreaming big, touching other peoples lives, and sharing everything he had. His life was important and his influence lives on in his children and friends. We are all very sorry for your loss.

Nelson touched so many hearts and his kind words were always short and easy to speak, but their echoes were truly endless. May God be with your family and friends in this time of sadness.

We were sorry to hear about Nelson's death. We extend our sincere sympathy to the family

Our condolences to the whole family.

Nelson was a special person and had a positive influence on many people. He probably never knew how many lives he touched and how helpful he was to the young people who worked for him. He certainly left his mark on many of us at Penn State --students, staff, and administrators. I will never forget the Century of Excellence celebrations and the wonderful times we had throughout the years. He was always there to lend a hand and his exuberance and energy were infectious. I will miss him, but the memories of the good times we shared will always remain.

I was so saddened to read of Nelson's passing. When Nelson started Jazz Horizons many years ago, I was a very young girl who

was getting introduced to Modern

Jazz (having grown up singing Dixieland). Nelson gave me my very

first Jazz job in Pittsburgh opening

the show for the world famous vibist, Cal Tjader. I will never

ever forget that he had such faith

in me. I haven't had the opportunity to talk to him for a

couple of years now. But, I will

never forget Nelson or his brother,

Herb. What great guys they were.

My regards to his family.
