Read MoreDear Belinda, I'm sure this has to be you, too many coincidences. I'm so sorry to just now be stumbling on the fact of your Father's death. I can't believe he, like my Dad, worked for the BPD. I don't think I remember knowing that. Also didn't know about his Baseball background. God Bless You All!

Dear Belinda, Mrs.Goodwin & David,
I cannot express in words how grateful I am that I had the privilege of getting to know all of you. I can honestly say Mr. Goodwin was one of the finest men I ever knew and definitely the best boss. His presence will be forever missed but we all know he would want you to try to find some joy in each day and be assured you will be reunited. He loved his family with all his heart and he treasured his friends. The world would be a much better place if we had...

Dear Betty and Belinda,
I just now found out about your dear husband and dad's passing through a letter from Candace Daniel/State Farm. I am so sorry for your loss. My husband, John B Cole, who passed away in March 2009,worked with Fred on the Birmingham Police Department and was so very fond of him. Fred handled all of our insurance needs and I recall his kindness and compassion when I went for a long office visit after John (Buddy)passed away. The words, "Well done, good and faithful...

Belinda and Betty, I am so sorry to hear that Fred has passed away. I just loved talking with him, and his love for people I truly admired. I can remember talking with him one day, shortly after I decided that insurance was going to be my career, he told me to always respect your clients and be willing to listen to them and they will stay with you. I could count on Fred to make me laugh. I will keep yall in my prayers.

Mrs. Goodwin, Belinda & Brenda,
I just found out about the death of Mr. Goodwin. May it soothe you to know that you are being thought of with caring prayers for a peaceful heart. I have known Mr. Goodwin for over thirty years. I will truly miss his cheerful voice and the lengthy conversations we use to have (especially his great advise and the updates regarding Alabama football). Words alone can only tell the very smallest part of all the thoughts of sympathy this brings you from my heart.

Mrs. Betty and Belinda,
I am so sorry to hear about Freddy!!! He was such a wonderful man! Always around with a smile, a hug and help when I needed it! He was like a second dad to me! I just want you both to know how much I loved Fred and I'm so sorry I did not come around more to see him and I did not know about his passing. I pray for God's loving comfort for you both!
