We were great friends in our youth. Then he guided the funeral procession when my daughter passed away. Goody was always a great person, a gentle giant among men. I know that the angels on bikes guided him to his eternal reward.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Sue and her family at this time of sorrow. We were neighbors on West 11th St, and what great neighbors they were, we enjoyed watching the children grow and especially watching Bob and his antics. Frank and I had lost contact after their moving to Florida, but thought of them often through the years. Again our deepest sympathy to all of the Goodwill family.Sincerely, Frank and Judy

Goody always made me feel welcome in his home and he didn't even know me very well. He always knew how to make a joke out of every situation =) Goody will be missed greatly by all who knew him. My prayers and thoughts are with the whole family.
