I had the privilege of working with Dr. Goodheart. Our conversations were always full of insight and joy. He loved to share stories of his surfing adventures and love of family. He treated everyone with kindness, respect and dignity. A true gem- My deepest condolences to the family.

I'm sending my heartfelt condolences to his family with thanks for sharing him with all of us.
