To the Goodwin family. I am just hearing of Ricky's passing today, Feb. 1st. I am so very sorry for your loss. I used to babysit all of you at one time and the last time I saw most of you was at a family yard sale a couple or so years ago. Ricky, as I used to call him, was always a nice and gentle man, with a good sense of humor. We used to communicate on Facebook now and then. I will miss that. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss, it's a loss for all that knew him as well. God Bless and care for him.

To the Family of Rick, we are sorry for your loss of a brother and uncle. Our memories include Rick at the Advent Christian Church. He was a an usher, always pleasant handing out bulletins and then walking down the isle with someone to take the Offering. He sometimes communicated on Facebook and will miss that contact. May you find comfort in knowing that you will see him again. Floyd & Musa Powers

We got to travel from WA to Maine in September 2014 and were so pleased to get time to spend with my cousin, Rick. (I posted a photo from our dinner out together that did not get connected with this post.) He has always been the Goodwin family member who has kept in touch the most with those of us on the West coast. He loved his Goodwin family and heritage as I do. He spent time in our homes and with our families during his years in the service stationed in the Seattle area. His face would go by my kitchen window quite often when he had time off and a chance to just show up for a surprise visit! My children remember the rides he gave them in his big commercial truck when he was driving coast to coast. He always made it a point to keep in touch and stop in if he was in the area. Most recently he enjoyed giving me a bad time about the rivalry between any East Coast team and our beloved Seattle Seahawks! I will miss his texting during games with his perspectives and comments and jibes as to what was going on in the game! He was a great soul with a big heart and I will miss him. Rest in peace, Rick. Our loss and heavens gain.
