Daniel Adino Goodenough

Dannys bike prowess was a long standing activity; he would visit at our home on Armory street and we would ride our bikes all day up to the Whitney theater and back and over to Foote school which we both attended in the same grade. One story stands out: Foote school had a cross street i think it was called Canner and down a very steep hill. Danny loved to provoke me into doin what I perceived to be dangerous things on our bikes. so he started down the hill and I naturally was carefully...

I just learned of Dr. Goodenough’s passing. I just wanted to share that he had a very big impact on me as a medical student. He helped me feel heard and encouraged me to pursue my interests in racial justice in medicine. I am very grateful to him always. My deepest condolences to his family.

Up until 1958 Danny and I were really good friends. We rode bikes together, got in trouble together. He often spent the night at our house and I reciprocated. When we went off to different prep schools in 1958 the friendship faded but the times we spent together still resonate even after after all these years. I wish we had maintained more of a long distance relationship but it was not to be. Farewell old friend....

I was a colleague of Dan Goodenough when we both began our academic and research careers at Harvard Medical School in 1974. I admired his appreciation and approach to research and his infectious sense of humor, humility and friendship - and later his commitment to the Earth and humanity. We occasionally got together socially - he always made time. What I remember in particular was his teaching style and his teaching mentorship to me. He was the greatest teacher I have ever known, not only for...

I am sad to hear of Dan's passing. I was in the original New Pathway program at HMS. With only 40 of us in the program, Dan had intimate relationships with all of us. The first two years of medical school were traumatic for me - I was depressed, crying in public, and needed help. Dan was the one to pull me aside for some difficult, caring conversations and guided me to seek therapy for the first time in my life. I look back on those conversations as the most pivotal of any time in my...

I remember Dan so fondly from the years we overlapped at ACE. He was such a a great supporter of our EJ work and also was such a terrific delight whenever we spoke and met up. What a great man! My condolences to his family.

Ursula I am so sorry your brother has passed away at what now seems to me such a young age, I will be in touch with you about my donation in his memory. Take care, sincerely, Julie c

I learn with deep sadness that Dr. Daniel Goodenough, my dear friend and mentor, has passed away. Having the privilege to work with him for almost a decade in his lab and get to know him both as an individual and as a scientist has been a remarkable experience that will last for the rest of my life on this earth.

I can't explain it, but just last week, for no reason at all, I thought of Dan. I've worked at Harvard Medical School since 2003 and for the last handful of years prior to Dan's retirement, I was the administrative manager of The Human Body course he helped to create. I hadn't seen or heard from Dan since he retired, so for me to think of him randomly just last week is quite something given that I heard just a couple days later of his passing. I have nothing but fond memories of Dan-his kind...
