After Coach Goldsmith retired, he officiated at track meets for many years. It was in that role that I got to know him during my days on the North Texas track team. He was always quick with a smile and a great story. Everyone who knew the man spoke of him in reverential terms. He was truly one of a kind and will be missed.

I met Max Goldsmith in 1973. He was the athletic director in Lewisville..

When Max discovered my love of sports, he took me under his wing. I became close to the coaching staffs, helping keep stats for the football team, running the clock at basketball games and timing at track meets. He shared his love of track and we spent many "off periods" discussing his senior accomplishments. He was a true gentleman to all he met and always had kind words for all.

Years later I would travel to Andrews in my sales job and found that people there felt the same way about Coach Goldsmith. He had been gone for 30 years and people still loved him.

He was special man.

Rest In Peace, Coach.
