                       Thursday, February 6, 2020

  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and 
service of longtime Concord resident, Earl Meyer Goldman.
  Earl Goldman was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and along with his 
mother and brother, eventually came to California. Earl graduated from 
Albany High School and then UC Berkeley with a degree in business. 
After marrying, Earl and his wife moved to Concord where they raised 
their family.
  In his professional life, Earl's entrepreneurial spirit led him down 
many different paths. He started Earl Goldman Insurance from his house, 
which he grew into a successful local business. He also owned a 
laundromat and co-owned a radio station.
  Earl's passion for his community has left a mark on the City of 
Concord. He envisioned a revitalization of Concord's downtown Todos 
Santos Plaza, and not only worked with public officials to improve 
Concord's infrastructure, but also dedicated himself to the long 
process of expansion and redevelopment. In addition to that work, Earl 
also supported various organizations, including the Concord Junior 
Optimist baseball league, Mount Diablo Hospital, and Friends of Camp 
Concord. Most of all, Earl will be remembered for his positive attitude 
and the love he had for his community.
  Earl Goldman was a cherished member of Concord and he will be missed.
