Joseph Lehman Goff

Dear Family: Very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I just ran across this article today, March 4, 2015, and had just returned to visit Redington this past week end, after about 40 years. My Granddad cleared farm land and we ran some cattle and farmed at one of Joe's places about a 1/2 mile East of the Redington Store. I first met Joe in about 1963, as I was a young teenager.

Charley, Connie and all the Goff family. My deepest sympathy goes out to you. Joe was the most wonderful man I knew. Kind, patient, loving and always had a smile. Thank you for being my friend.

Joe was a great friend to Arlie Dutiel, my brother. Thru Arlie we met with Joe every year in Tucson. It will not be the same without him.

May your pastures always be green and your tanks full, your horse never stumble and dally never slip.

Joe, a great cowboy, will surely be missed. Keep your cinch tight, and your rope ready.

Joseph was one of my very favorite patients. He was always so kind and so interesting to talk to. I will miss seeing him. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Goff family.
