Richard H Goldman

A third generation Cleveland furrier and president of Albert Furs, Richard maintained a tradition of integrity and craftsmanship in a business founded by his grandfather in 1933. He was a leader in his industry as a past chairman of the Cleveland Fur Institute and board member of the American Fur Council.

Throughout his life Richard’s activities and interests were many; early proficiency in electronics and computing, a ham radio operator in his teens, a student of art history, accomplishments in photography and graphic design, an avid, talented cook, and a longtime practitioner of yoga. 

Above all, Richard’s life was a dedication of love and devotion to his family and many friends.

Cherished son of Al and Esther (nee Axelrod) Goldman (both deceased); beloved husband of Kathleen Goldman (nee Wolovits) for 45 years; devoted father of Erik Michael Goldman of NY and San Francisco; dear brother of Jerry Goldman of NY and Victor Goldman of CA.
