Stanley GOODMAN

A truly beautiful man. Had a huge impact on my career and how I think about life. So happy to have known him - Marc Ofte

My deepest sympathies to the Goodman family. Mr. Goodman created a great store because he considered family first. I know he made each one of his customers feel like a member of the family and that's why my mother was a customer for over 40 years, passing on the legacy to her daughters.

I am so sorry to hear Mr. Goodman had passed. My heartfelt feelings go out to Stewart,Eric,Ned and Mrs. Goodman. I kinda felt like they were part of my family, they were always so kind to me even when i did not buy anything. i have known them for over 30 years. Mr. Goodman will be deeply missed..And his name says it all, he was a Good man...Glenda Vuxta

I have fond memories of Mr. Goodman from my teens in the late 60's. He and Lena dealt lovingly but tough with their houseful of kids (and their friends). My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mr. Goodman was a great teacher, father, husband, and visionary. He developed a unique paternalistic approach to everything - I came to call it "a skeptical embrace" (his natural instincts were to believe in people, but experience taught him to "verify"). The creator of the very definition of the phrase "Family Business" - the "family" was all encompassing and wildly extended. Nearly all of us with contact felt like part of the family (an exceptionally rare thing among members of the vendor...

I am sorry for your loss. I never knew him, but heard wonderful things from his three sons. He lives on in their memories and in the memories of all who knew him
