Keith Goldsmith Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Keith Howard-Goldsmith passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Milford, Connecticut on August 5, 2024 at the age of 76.
Keith was a lover of life, great food (especially fish and chips), and the New York Mets! Speaking several languages and living on multiple continents throughout his time on earth, Keith was a commodities trader for much of his life, and took great satisfaction in honing specific mathematical formulas to trade in these markets, often with great success.
Keith is survived by his two sons, Jeremy and Gordon; their extended family; his brother, Gordon, wife, Karen, and their daughter, Tara.
A celebration of Keith's life will be held on August 15, 2024 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at Lesko Funeral Home, 1209 Post Road, in Fairfield Center. All other services will be held privately.

Keith and I worked together in the late 1960'-early '70's in London for a company called J.H. Rayner (Mincing Lane) Ltd which was a commodity trading company. Keith went to the U.S. to run his portfolio and our paths crossed again when I used to visit my office in Greenwich, CT. Sadly for me computerisation displaced my role and I ventured into pastures anew losing contact with Keith.
Keith was a gentleman and a pleasure to transact business with and I have fond memories of working together back in the day.
My condolences go to the family at this time.

Dear Jeremy,
We were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your father Keith.
Although we did not know him long, it was clear that he was a remarkable man, intelligent, kind hearted, with a warm and sweet personality that left a lasting impression on us.
On your wedding day, his speech was full of love and gratitude. You were certainly loved beyond words as his son and he was having the time of his life seeing you achieve happiness and health.
Please know that Keith is in our thoughts and we will remember him for his humanity, sense of humor, world traveler's stories and moreover, the sense of pride and tenderness in his voice whenever he spoke of you and your accomplishments.
With deepest sympathy,
Jeff, Adriana & George
