My prayers are with the Godwin family. Mr. Godwin was an amazing principal and I will always remember the impact he left on my years at Hoover High School. He will always be remember as the wonderful man that he was. Things will not be the same at Hoover without hearing his funny jokes over the intercom or his scooter zipping through the halls. God bless Mr. Godwin and his family.

Mr. Gene Godwin was the 7th grade unit principal at Simmons Middle School when I was a teacher there. He taught me by example what it was to be a great teacher. My prayers are with his wife and daughter.

Mr. Godwin was a great man. He was my principal when I was in 7th grade. I saw him periodically after that while I made my way through high school and college. The last time I saw him was at his daughter's college graduation and without hesitation he called me by my full name and asked me how I was doing. It is a sad day for the city of Hoover, students like myself that he made an impact on, and the future students who will not get to experience the presence of Mr. Godwin. To me, he'll always...
