Gene--- the epitome of a good man. Stumbled across the obit and we just want to say thank you for crossing paths with us on the cosmic journey -- $20 on a Christmas Eve meant a world of difference to our kid one cold and harsh December when we sheltered in your fabulous (FABULOUS!!) house. Though our tenure was brief, the vibes were always right, and you made a difference in our lives.... carry on, untroubled and as ever. Steven Critcher/Diza Sauers/Colin Critcher

True to his name, Gene was a good man, generous, tolerant, kind, and unafraid. My memory epitomizes him as the "earth man," even down to the manner of his locomotion, always --characteristically -- "prowling" around. I have now grown old enough to know that we are all afraid, but Gene was very, very good at concealing his apprehensions, such as they may have been. He made us "wanderers" who sheltered in his "camp" over the years -- this wanderer, at least -- feel safe and secure. Perhaps this had something to do with his military service; coincidentally, Gene served in more than one of the same campaigns listed on my father's discharge papers, though Papa was not a tanker. Given Gene's love of argumentation, he likely would've disputed my assessment of his virtues, and for once, I wish we could have that argument. I shall miss him.
Gene Goodman Community Bulletin Board

Thanks, Gene, for being a hip representative of your generation and for being a cool neighbor back in the day. We thought of you often this fall when we restored the community bulletin board that you had constructed as a gift for the folks on Apache Ridge Rd. We will be putting a plaque on it to memorialize you. We were sad to see you move to California, even sadder to see you leave this earth. Go in peace and enjoy the journey! Our hearts and prayers go out to Elaine...
Many blessings,

Just saw the obituary in the Santa Fe New Mexican and want to send our heartfelt condolences to all of Gene's family. We know he'll be missed. We missed him when he and Elaine moved from Santa Fe...missed that great house of theirs and the fun times we had visiting them there.
