My mother's maiden name is Goldsmith. It's for that reason that the names of Jerry and Joel Goldsmith stood out in TV credits.
Of all the work he did, I would have noticed Jerry's name in the credits for a few "The Twilight Zone" reruns and a whole lot of Star Trek TV and movie work. Later, I'd notice the name Joel Goldsmith popping up a lot, too. Joel became the sound of Stargate much the way his father was the sound of Star Trek. They both have a ton of other shows to their name, but I saw them primarily in their sci-fi work.
Joel passed away near the end of April after a long battle with cancer. Jerry died of cancer back in 2004.
I'm gonna miss their music and seeing their last name on screen.
