Great guy. Always put a smile on your face. Loved sports and his trips. A great loss. Rest in peace.

Mr. Goonan was a true Irishman and a class act. I'm a better person for having known him. He instilled values in Scott and shared them with me and I still hold them in my heart today. A true gentleman - great husband - father & grandfather - he will be missed by many. Irish Mist may now go out of business - Cheers Bob
May God rest your soul.

Grampy was a wonderful man, and he will be missed dearly. I will truly miss all of the laughs we have shared together over the years. Grampy, if you can see this, I hope with all of my heart that one day we will be reunited in heaven. This is a sad time for all of his friends and family and I am praying that everyone can stay strong. Love you Grampy!

Bob will be missed, my thoughts and prayers are with Liz at this difficult time. I am glad I had the chance to know Bob, he was a great guy. Heaven just got a great new story teller. I'll always think of Bob when I see a can or jar of gravy or drive by China Rama. We had some good times and laughs over the years at McKinley Road, he had a zest for life and a heart of gold and would do anything for you no matter what. Liz, Callie, Bobby, and Scott I am sorry. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Phil Olsen and Family

I am so very sorry for everyone's loss and so blessed to have had the opportunity to know and love Bob. He was always so fun and charming to be around. So many great conversations, laughs and pranks enjoyed by me on River Point Drive. I know how much he will be missed and cannot express my sorrow enough. Just remember, not a day will Pass where you don't feel his presence as if he was still here. I'll be waiting for my Crown and Ginger!
Much Love and Support to All.

Grampy can not be forgotten. Even if you'd only met him once or twice, he lit up the room with his comedy and stories of his early days on the farm. Last month even, when I saw him last, he was telling me of those times. Things he's said to me or to those around will last an eternity. You're in our minds, Grampy, and things won't be the same without you there.

Robert Goonan or Grampy to me was one of the nicest loving human beings you will ever meet. He gave me advice that I will always remember. He touched everybody he has ever met's heart. He will be missed but never forgotten. I will miss you Grampy.

You went out of your way to make me feel like part of the family so many years ago, in fact went out of your way to do it, but that was just who you were, the most unselfish and caring person I have ever known. Will miss our conversations, always looked forward to pulling a chair up next to you and just talking about whatever You will be sorely missed Old-Timer. God bless and may you have eternal peace.
