In preparation for considering nursing as a career, I had the "privilege" of working for Dr. Goco for six months many year ago.

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.

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.
