Neil Goodrich was our dentist for over thirty-years. More importantly, we also felt like we were friends because he was such a warm, compassionate and enthusiastic person. Not only was he a wonderful dentist, allaying all of my previous fears but he was a great outdoorsman, with a tremendous love of nature. This was an interest that we shared. Hearing about his outdoors exploits, trips and time in the field with his daughters (and of course his garden) make the dentist something to look forward too. Our condolences to his family on the passing of this great dentist, environmentalist and friend. Pam and David Bush

I am so saddened by this news. Dr. Goodrich was my dentist for over 25 years. I always credit him for getting me over the fear of my childhood dentist and would share that with him on every visit. I will miss him dearly. He was a great man and cherished his family. I am so sorry for your loss. May God bless all of you during this sad time.

Neil was one of my favorite guys from our graduating class. It was GREAT to spend time with him at our 55th reunion on Sep 11th and 12th. I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. You, the family, are all in my thoughts and my prayers. Not just during this terribly difficult time, but always. He's a wonderful man, a dear friend and had a wonderful sense of humor. My heart aches for you and this very significant loss. God bless you all and give you strength.
