Not sure what to say?

Dad, I miss you, love you and think of you everyday. I know you are watching over us and your spirit lives on within each of us. Till we meet again padre.

I have such fond memories of John > a kind, compassionate man. I just learned of his passing and am so sad for all of his family and friends, he will be missed!

John was a fellow classmate of ours at Milwaukie High School Class of 1964. With just 325 students in our class, and coming together from just 3 schools, we all knew each other. We are so sorry to hear of John's passing. Our condolences to his family. He will be missed.

John "Goldie" Goldspink was a good frined, a constant and reliable mentor, a firm but fair police supervisor, and a strong role model for all of us who had the privilege of working with him and under him at the Tigard Police Department. We missed him greatly after he retired. Goldie was just that kind of guy. He touched lives in a significant way. So, we know that his wife Sue, his children John, Jamie, and Jason and all others whom he touched now miss him greatly. And yet, he will live...

Dad sure did love his cars!

We are very sorry to hear of John's passing. We were best of friends back in the days of throwing darts at the El Gato in the late 60's early 70's. Even apartment neighbors for awhile. Gosh, we are all getting older than we think. God bless you John, we will never forget the laughs. Bruce & Janice

He will be missed, our thoughts to the entire family.
