I still have such a hard time believing that my beloved Dr/friend is gone. Can´t believe it´s been 10 years now. I will "forever" be grateful to Ken for all he did for me and my family. He was a friend and the greatest Dr I ever knew! I know he´s resting in peace, but I miss him here on Earth!!

Ken was my gynecologist for many years. He was the “best” gynecologist I had ever had! We were also good friends. He docked his boat at our marina in New Kensington, PA and we shared many fun times together. When he was leaving our area to move out by Philly, he called me personally at my home to give me the bad news about leaving. I have such fond and fun memories of Ken and continue to talk about even now! I found out that his death was attributed to colon cancer and I was shocked. My mother passed from this and he was very insistent on my getting checked regularly. I did this and I actually ended up with colon cancer. Thanks to Ken, my life was saved and I’m forever grateful to him!! God Bless you Ken, I will never forget you, my friend. ❤❤❤

A very near and dear friend has left me. Kenny was a school mate and fraternity brother of Alpha Phi Alpha at Morgan State University. We studied together, worshippped together, made ends meet together, cried together, pledged together, laughed together, and had lots of fun together. I will always cherish those moments that I was blessed to have him as a friend. Rest in Peace Brother Dr. Kenneth "Thor" Goodrich 4BA73.............Respectfully Bro. Jimmy Clark 3BA73, Bro. Bobby Harris 1BA73, and Brother Allan Paulson 2BA73...." The Original Fab Four"...2/10/2020

I called on Kenny as a Pharm rep when he had his practice in East Liberty; in fact encouraged him about Managed Care and the direction he should go with his practice as the insurance manage care Juggernaut was starting in the early 80's. Take care and Rest in peace

I am very late--but I want to send my
sincere sympathy to the Goodrich family.
I know he is sorely missed. He was one
of the best doctors and what a great
bedside manner---I was so upset when he
left the Pittsburgh area--no one can
compare to him. I will continue to
pray for the family.

I was loooking at a Magee Women's Hospital publication and just learned of Dr. Kenny Goodrich's passing. He was one of my memorable mentors as I followed in his footsteps from the University of Pennsylvania's medical school to Magee Women's residency program. He was an intelligent, proud, dedicated and caring man. As one of his many mentees, his powerful confidence gave each mentee the strength to carry on and believe in one's dreams. His physcial presence will be missed, but his legacy will remain in the souls of all he touched.

To the Goodrich family: I am deeply saddened by the loss of a dear friend, Dr.Kenneth B. Goodrich.

Goodrich Family,
This comes very late, but I just learned of his passing. Dr Goodrich was the kindest MD I have known. He delivered three of my four children. It would take too many words to describe what he ment to me. He may not even remember me as a patient, its been more that 21 yrs, but he was so compassionate and caring he made me feel that I was his only patient no matter how busy he was,you were the most important person. My thoughts and prayers to you God Bless.

Dr. Goodrich was a distinguished physician and scholar in the area of medicine. He widened the pathways in the health field so that others persuing a career in medicine can have a better perspective and preparation in their chosen specialities. I remember how Dr. Goodrich used to talk about Dr. White, Dr. Turner, and Dr. Sessoms as being like a brother to him. He was an avid investor and collaborated with Bernard Jones, Jr., who is known in the Maryland area as having a multi million dollar investment business. All of these fine gentlemen spoke highly of Dr. Goodrich and sent patients to him on a regular basis. We will miss him.

What a great Doctor, I have not found a Dr. to fill his shoes since he left the Pittsburgh area. I sent all my friends and family to him, never to be disappointed in doing so. My greatest sympathies to his family and friends.

My prayers and thoughts are with you Mrs.Goodrich and family. Your husband saved my life in 1998. He was in the operating room next to me and came over to help my doctor who needed his help. I will always be grateful to him. He will always be a special part of my life in what he did for me.God Bless you and your family.

Dr. Goodrich delivered both of my children, and I was devastated when he left Western Pennsylvania. My son was one of five babies he delivered the day before Thanksgiving, and he barely made it to Citizens Hospital from Pittsburgh to deliver my daughter 2 1/2 years later. I can still hear that big, booming laugh when I told him I wanted a discount for giving him two easy deliveries. Deepest sympathies to his family. He was an amazing man.

I worked for Doc in Bradford, Pa, he was truly an amazing doctor. There was no other OB/GYN that even came close to him! He was the best employer and friend! We will truly miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife Terri and family!

I am truly sorry for your loss. Dr. Goodrich was a dedicated, caring doctor. He delivered two of my children, one on Easter Sunday. No matter how busy he was, he always had a smile on his face, and made you feel completely understood.

To the Goodrich family
Dr Good rich will be missed very deeply by all that knew him. He was my doctor as well as my employer. He taught me many things and showed me many things. He was the best doctor, friend and employer one could ask for. He taught me to never let anyone think they were better than me and that I could do what ever I put my mind to. I love you G and will miss you . Thank you for being there for me.

God bless

I remember the first time that I met Dr. Goodrich. It was 32 yrs ago when I was having trouble in delivering my daughter he walk into my room as a resident and stayed with me and my family the whole time until I delivered. At the point we became friends for a lifetime. I will miss your smile and your jokes but most of all I will miss you as a person. Thank you for being you.

To the Goodrich family,
I can't tell you how upset I was at hearing of the passing of Ken. He was my doctor for MANY years but he was also a friend. He docked his boat at our marina in New Kensingron and we became friends as well as Dr/patient. He did surgery on me and he was absolutely the best doctor I've ever had. He can't be replaced. I had many good laughs with him over the years as he had a good sense of humor. Please accept my sincere sympathy and know that I will miss him dearly and remember him fondly. He was exceptional!

I am so shocked and saddened by the news of Dr Goodrich. I was considered a infertility patient but at 38 I got pregnant and what a surprise it was. Dr Goodrich could not of been happier! He made sure everything was right from beginning to end. I had a stressful pregnancy with personal issues at hand and he became somebody to confide in and became more than just a doctor with medical terms. He truely cared for myself and for my baby and gave us extra special care the entire pregnancy. I dont know if I had any other doctor that I would of been taken care of so well and been treated so kindly by such a caring soul. He was so professional but yet always made you smile and laugh with his jokes. I will never forget you and I am so glad I have a picture of you holding my precious Makayla so she can share the wonderful stories of you with her children. RIP DR GOODRICH I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU AND ALL THAT YOU DID FOR ME AND MAKAYLA!

Ken will always be a part of my life. He has been my friend, my teacher and my employer. He has made me laugh and cry from the deapest places of my heart. I have been a part of his family and friends. Dr. Goodrich helped me learn to be positive and confident in everything I do. I pray for his eternal peace. All my Love.

Deepest sympathy to the family. Words can not describe how much your dad loved you Kenny. I remember you so well when you were little and would come and spend many hours in labor and delivery with us at Allegheny Valley Hospital. You would sit outside the door on a stool and your daddy would talk to you the entire time he was doing a delivery. He played with you for ours in the call room. Lots of quality time together . He will be remembered by all of the staff at Allegheny Valley Hospital. Lisa Cone, CNM

To the Goodrich Family,
What fond memories I have of Dr. Ken Goodrich. As a radio/TV host, Dr. Goodrich was one of my favorite guests. Always ahead of his time...he would educate, enlighten, and inform. He was a blessing! We haven't been in touch in years, but I am grateful for the time he spent in Pittsburgh and for the time this city was able to share him. I am so praying for your family at this time, and knowing that he is in the best hands ever now.

I was so sad to hear of the passing of dr. goodrich. He was such a wonderful dr. and human being. He delivered my first son under very difficult circumstances, but my confidence in him never wavered.
