Not sure what to say?

I just wanna say that Mr G was my swimming coach in Trexler and from what i remember, we were undefeated for the 3 years i was there and he was undefeated for the time he coached there. I'll always remember him asking us to get some nylons from our moms so we could wear them in the pool for practice. I ended up becoming a Plumbing and he called our company for work and i went out! It was nice to see hime and he looked good. He will be missed and i will always remember him for sure!

Goody was a wonderful friend and fraternity brother from East Stroudsburg State College. We remained friends throughout the years. If Goody was there you were guaranteed there was also fun and laughter. He is unreplaceable and his memory will forever be held within our hearts.

I will remember Mr. G. with fondness when I think of working at EMAC. Rest in peace and may I express my deepest sympathy to his family.

While I didn't know John personally, please accept my condolences. The community lost a devoted swim professional who gave the sport so much.

Deepest condolesences to the entire Gudikunst family from the both of us. John was truely a "class act" and we were fortunate to have known and worked with him.

So sorry for your loss. Goody was one-of-a-kind. He was a great fraternity brother, friend, and coach. He will be greatly missed by all.

I first met Goody 15 years ago (seems like so much longer though!), when I moved to PA and started working at EMAC. He had such a passion for this club, that it was contagious. It was such an amazing group of people and I miss that time in my life. I would bring my daughter to work with me and he made me laugh all the time. He made her such a sweet welcoming gift that she still has it. He stained/painted baby blocks with her name and a mini wooden chest filled with gold dollar coins. He even...

Condolences to the Gudikunst family. We spent many summers at Stonecrest with Mr. G in charge. He was an awesome swimming instructor, with tons of patience. He ran the club like clockwork. A wonderful man who will be missed by all.
