Fred was a brilliant soul who along with David E. Donnelley, my brother-in-law, inspired and charmed so many lives and loves. Thank you Fred & Marilyn.

By chance I did a google search of Fredrick Goode this Christmas Day. He was my 10th grade english teacher at Rye Country Day School in 1966 as well as head Principle (or co-Principle?) of the school at the time. It is rare to experience someone with such memorable impact. What stays with me is his sincerity and passion. He cared - truly cared - and you felt it. In fact I still feel it 50 years later. Thank you Fred - a rare impassioned man who gave it his all - for the greater good.

As a teacher at SAS Fred was always a mentor. I respected and revered him. His wry sense of humor was always a little frightening when directed towards you but always carried an important message that I took to heart. I remember many feasts at SAS organized and catered by Marilyn.

Like others, I was deeply affected by Fred's teaching, considering myself very lucky to have attended the School of Arts and Sciences 1971-75. What a gift it was to learn from teachers as collaborators and mentors, and to de-emphasize grades in favor of narrative evaluations and a personal meeting with Fred at the end of the year. I have formed my own values for teaching and relating to others beginning with my experience at SAS and gift credit to Fred and the other fine teachers he gathered...

I hold such gratitude to have had the honor being a student of Fred Goode at The School of Arts and Sciences. During that time he taught me many things but I will always remember Fred saying to me I just want to teach you to teach yourself and with this statement and ideal, I have lived and learned and passed this on to my own children. There is no doubt in my mind that Fred's influence will continue to inspire and reach future generations through his many students. To his family and loved...

I have a deep appreciation for Fred. I have vivid memories of Fred and Marilyn and all of the many turtles kept by all of their many children at their Sonoma "ranch." Fred was a great friend & mentor to my brother-in-law David Donnelley as they launched The School of Arts & Sciences in San Anselmo in the early '70's. I particularly enjoyed Fred's irreverent sense of humor and his actor's voice booming through whatever house we were all in. Dinner with Fred were true learning experiences. His...

Fred, Marilyn and their children were an indelible part of my childhood. I thank them all for the gift of their friendship and share the pain of his passing.
