So sorry to hear this very sad news. What a wonderful guy he was. I knew Bob in grade school at St.Francis. Looked forward to seeing him at our reunions. He will be missed. Blessings to his family.

Robert (Bob) Goodwin was a wonderful human being. Will forever miss his humor and the great times we shared over lunch. He had a way to criticize his friends in jest to add humor to his demeanor.
