Earl Golz Obituary
His career highlight might have been a triumphant legal settlement following his firing from the Dallas Morning News in the early 1980s after he wrote an article drawing attention to a troubled bank.
Golz, represented by famed attorney Racehorse Haynes, responded with a libel lawsuit after the bank placed full-page ads in several newspapers claiming the article was false. The bank, whose former president was sent to prison, would settle the claim for roughly $150,000, said his wife Lois.

I just learned of the death of a lifetime hero of mine. Journalist Earl Golz. A man who put conscience above career by fearlessly writing the truth about the assassination of JFK since 11/22/63. Like Jerry (Policoff) I an so proud to have known him. He lived here in my adopted city- Austin Tx. My condolences to his family.

He was a courageous journalist in the classic sense of the word. If he had chosen any subject but the JFK assassination he would havewon countless journalism awards. I am proud to have known him
