Not sure what to say?

Dr. Goco was a wonderful man and doctor. He operated on me 4 times and I thank God for him

In preparation for considering nursing as a career, I had the "privilege" of working for Dr. Goco for six months many year ago. He was such a wonderful gentleman who always showed great compassion for all of his patients and kindness and patience as he taught me various procedures I could assist him with in the office. I have not seen him in years but will never forget him and his genuine caring heart. May our Heavenly Father, who now surrounds Dr. Goco with His Holy Presence, also enfold you...

Dear Dr Kellam, Our very sincere condolences on the passing of your father. May God grant you comfort. Blessings, Barry and Sybille Sidden

I used to see Dr Goco at Bolton Park practicing his tennis or golf swing when I was walking my dog. He was such a friendly and kind soul. He never met a stranger. We'd always talk about our dogs. He gave my dog a tennis ball. The world needs more kind souls and doctors like Dr Goco.

I was a patient. My daughter was a patient at a very young age... he was a special talent! I so remember this kind, special Dr and his special sister ! Mary

What a beautiful tribute to a talented and well loved man

Dr. Goco pierced my ears many years ago when I was 13.

My memories of Dr Goco and family were not through his surgical skills! I knew him through the WFU Indoor Tennis Center. My mom, Bettianne Beck ran the center, and I worked for her there. It was always a pleasure to see him frequent us! So sorry for your loss. Meredy Beck Swafford

Dr. Goco was a welcome smile and a quick quip to us nursing students doing surgical clinical. He raised and inspired Lorie Kellum who became another outstanding surgeon and who devised a colon revision for my husband so that he does not have to have a colostomy bag to this day. My thanks and condolences to his family.
