My Thoughts and Prayers go out to Mr. Goads Family. Mr. Goad was my boss when I worked for J C Penney Seminary South Mall. In 1972 I transferred to
J C Penney at N E Mall and after a few years there, Mr. Goad became my boss
until he retired in 1990. Mr. Goad was a GREAT BOSS for he helped me with whatever problems I had working for J C Penney. May GOD be with his family.
Mr. Goad rest in peace and remember you are loved by so may people.
