Jim GOODPASTURE Obituary

Published by Richmond Times-Dispatch on Sep. 22, 2010.
GOODPASTURE, Jim, passed away on Sunday, September 19, 2010 at the age of 78 in Frankfort, Kentucky. He was predeceased by his parents, Henry and Virginia Goodpasture; and his brother and sister-in-law, Ken and Ellen Goodpasture. Jim is survived by his niece, Katherine Goodpasture; his nephew, Philip Goodpasture; along with Philip's family, Paige, Eliza, John and Rose, all of Richmond, Virginia; and friends and extended family in Nashville, Tennessee. Nashville was the town he loved and where he was born and raised. Jim was a great joy to his family. We particularly appreciated Jim's brilliant memory, his sense of humor and his interest in current events. We are thankful to the staff of Stewart Home School of Frankfort, Kentucky, for providing Jim a loving second home that he knew was always there for him. A family graveside service will be held at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond on Saturday, September 25 at 9 a.m.

Jim,
You will really be missed. I always remember you being at all of our basketball games and cheering us on! You were much appreciated. I'm sorry I don't remember if I've ever told you that or not, but you were appreciated! Thank you so much for being there for us! You always had the right thing to say. Thank you, and may you Rest in peace with our Lord for eternity. You will not be forgotten.

Dear Katherine and Philip and all of you who loved Jim,
Jim was an important part of my childhood. His parents and my parents - and also my husband's parents - were dear friends. I saw Jim often at gatherings of family and friends. I'm thinking of him now with great fondness.
Every good wish to all of you,
Allison and John Beasley

Dear Katherine and Philip,
I want you to know how deeply saddened I am to learn of Jim's death.
I knew him fairly well although I haven't seen him since Ken's funeral.
Virginia and Henry Goodpasture were of my parent's generation and I was Ken's and Jim's. I believe Virginia and Henry were God Parents to one of my sisters.
We will miss Jim. I remember 50 or 60 years that Jim would take off for Florida every winter and return in the summer.
With Deepest Sympathy,
J. Haskell Tidman, Jr.
