Edward Lamar Goetz

My sympathy to Mrs. Goetz, Linda, Gregory, & Keith. Linda & I grew up together and Mr. Goetz was always there. Love, Prissy

We were so sorry to hear of Ed's passing. He was a fine gentleman in the truest sense of the word. I always enjoyed encounters with Ed, most of which were at old car related events. He was unfailingly cheerful and always had something interesting to pass along that I hadn't known before. May God bless the family,especially his lovely wife Melrose, and grant them peace, comfort, and joy in knowing that Ed is resting in the arms of God.

Melrose and family,
Please accept our sincere sympathy for your loss. Ed will truly be missed at First English. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I met Ed Goetz in October of 1969 during an interview at Union Carbide. Soon after the interview I joined Ed and the #2 Gas Operators in the "World's Largest Ethylene Producing Complex" (per the computer lights) on "B" Shift. Ed was a great supervisor and an interesting conversationalist. There was never a dull moment on our shift and Ed was always up for whatever was going on. Most of his conversations were about "Old Cars" and it was obvious this was his passion. Ed was very frugal and must have been quite a negotiator as he occasionally related some of the amazing back and forth during recent "Old Car" purchases. He also recommended such cost saving innovations as using hand soap to shave, a procedure for using a razor for many months, etc. It was ideas like these that provided the incentive for us to celebrate Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah with Ed each year even though he was a Lutheran and eventually led to the hanging of a sign in the control room on his birthday ........."Would You Buy a Used Car From This Man?
I continued my interaction with Ed even after we left #2Gas and enjoyed his company when we met in the plant and as he led his squad at the A&M Fire Training Facility in College Station each year. Ed mailed me some photos (of me and others) taken many years earlier at College Station when he cleaned out his desk and retired. I saw him several years ago at the South Texas Farm and Ranch Show. We relived old times and he related what he had been up to recently. He still had his kind face and looked great and I could always count on Ed being the same no matter where I saw him. He was always a gentleman and a pleasure to be around.
I am deeply blessed to have known Ed. He was a pure soul with whom I share many fond memories. My Deepest Condolences to his family and many friends.

We are so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our hearts and prayers. May God carry you through this most difficult time.
Connie and Sam Jarrett
