Terry Goodenough

I am saddened to hear the news of Terry's passing. It is a shock as he was always so youthful. Terry coached me in cross-country running at the University of Waterloo. His approach was kind, inspiring and always filled with humour and encouragement. It was a pleasure to know him and an honour to be coached by him. My condolences go out to his family.

It is with great sadness that I heard the news of Terry's passing. I first met Terry back in 1976 when he displayed such excellence and courage as a one of Canada's very best 1500 metre runners. When we moved to Edmonton in 1991, one of the very first people I met was Terry. He was always in the best of spirits, optimistic, ever smiling and great company. He loved to talk about track, the personalities, the races and the sport in general. My deepest and heartfelt sympathies to his family and...

The Clemson cross-country and track team along with his family has lost a hero. I personnally has lost a friend of outstanding nature. Goodenough so to say, for four years at Clemson University and entire Tiger Paw squad relatated very well. It is very sad news to loose a person of Terry's caliber.

i remember racing Terry in the old CNE indoor track in the early 70's. He was a year or so older and my twin brother and I admired his ability as youngsters. I was there at Centennial Stadium at Ofsaa in 1976 I think when he outkicked a certain Tom Lobsinger for the big upset win. He was a great track runner with good times. We ran on the Toronto Olympic Club togther in the mid eighties. He was a quiet generous person. He lent me his Adidas spikes at the 1984 Olympic Trials in Winnipeg for my...

I got mail from Kathy last Friday and still can't believe it.
I stayed Dave and Kathy's house for 2 months in 2004.
And I met their friend, Terry.
He sometimes visited our place and we enjoyed conversation over dinner.
I can't speak English very well. Terry spoke slowly and intelligibly to me.
We went to Oktoberfest but he wouldn't dance. So, I danced Kathy instead.
He was really kind and smart. I am so sad.
May his spirit rest in peace.

I knew Terry from cycling - travelling in a group to Finger Lakes and to Kingston and riding together. Always generous and always steadfast. Terry could match and maintain any cycling speed but was also patient with a straggler like me. It is such a shock to hear that this wonderful life has been interrupted far too soon. My prayers and thoughts are with Terry's family, friends and all the runners and cyclists he has influenced with his generous spirit and wise heart.

Terry Goodenough was a great man to have been associated with. May God keep his soul safe.

Sorry to hear the sad news. Terry was a good friend. Terry was my Ontario team mate in the race photo that was posted. This was from a 1976 Ontario-Quebec-New York triangle meet one week before Terry won the OFSAA 1500m in record time.
