DO NOT DELETE 4/12/2010 2:52 PM Michael Goldsmith Frederick Mark Gedicks The most fitting way to begin an essay in memory of Michael Goldsmith would be to tell one of his jokes, because Michael had a terrific sense of humor. The trouble is that, as I thought of all of the jokes that Michael had told me over the many years that we knew each other, I couldn’t actually remember one that I could safely tell in public, let alone in print. He did send a lot of them through his BYU Law School email account, however, so it makes me smile to think that somewhere in the vast reaches of the BYU server, these jokes are sitting there, like time bombs waiting to go off, which is its own kind of joke. The first and by far the most important thing to remember about Michael was his love and care for his family. Two of his sisters spoke at the funeral service in Albany, and it was immediately evident how much they loved their brother, and how good he had been to them and to their mother.

In Memoriam: Professor Michael Goldsmith G. Robert Blakey* In the natural order of time, children bury parents, yet life and death are not always so tidy in which succeeds the other. Few sights are as lachrymose as parents and their various-aged children with sunglasses hiding their tear-reddened eyes, black-dressed, and standing on a green cemetery lawn looking down at a diminutive mahogany coffin suspended over a freshly dug grave. Such sights are indelibly memorable and deeply poignant. It is similar when an aging professor gives up to death a student for whom he had served as a mentor in law school and in his highly successful professional career, and for whom he had written glowing recommendations for his judicial clerkship, for his positions as an Assistant States and Assistant United States Attorney and Counsel to the New York State Organized Crime Task Force, and for his teaching positions in law schools. Mike also worked two years for me as Senior Staff Counsel to the House Select Committee on Assassinations.
