Ron Goldman s family is emphasizing the pain theyve lived with since his 1994 murder.

On Thursday, just hours after O.J. Simpson s family announced he had died of cancer at the age of 76, Fred Goldman, Rons father, gave a statement to People magazine about the death of the controversial NFL player and actor.

This is just a reminder for us of how long Ron has been gone, how long we have missed him and nothing more than that, Fred Goldman told the magazine. That is the only thing that is important today. It is the pain from then until now. There is nothing today that is more important than the loss of my son and the loss of Nicole. Nothing is more important than that.
