Roy, Karen and family, so sorry for your mother and father passing. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I am sorry to learn of the death of Dr Goethe. We were privileged to have him as our family pediatrician and he inspired me to follow a career in pediatrics. May he rest in peace.

I'm sad to hear of Dr Goethe's passing. He was my Doctor when I was a child, He met me in the Midland ER frequently, saving my life. I thank him for his dedication. What a great man. Big Hugs to the entire family.

We have great memories of Roy. He was my pediatrician in the 60s and 70s, as well as my children's in the 80s and early 90s. We always felt reassured when he saw our children. He was a solid man in our community and contributed so much. God bless his family.

Dr.Goethe was the pediatrician for our three boys. He was a wonderful man, a kind and gentle doctor, and someone well loved in the Midland community. We will not forget him.

Dr. Goethe was a very good Doctor. He delivered me in 1980. I saw him and Dr. Van Sickle regularly. They were great old school but years ahead of their time. Very good with the kids everyone was always laughing, even if they were sick. I loved reading all of his achievements. He surely was a busy man. I am saddened to hear of his passing, my prayers to his family.

My children went to Dr Goethe's all there lives growing up and he made a young mom feel like she was doing it right, you just don't see pediatricians like that today, prayers snd thoughts to his family at the difficult time.

A Doctor who was way ahead of his time. Saved my Downs son several times. Medically raised all 4 of my kids to be healthy adults. His memory will ever be in our families' hearts. He also Raised a wonderful doctor who has done much more than successful orthopedic surgery on several members of my family. Praise the Lord for his outstanding life.

Dr.Goethe was my doctor when I was growing up. He was a good looking ,softspoken and an excellent doctor. I had such a crush on him. I truly believed I would marry him some day. Of course I was only 6-7. I had 4 children and took my children to him. He will be missed by many. God Bless you ! My deepest sympathy to his whole family.
