Born on October 3, 1939, in Vandalia, IL, Jim was the son of the late Fredrick and Pauline Goodwin, formerly of Westfield, NJ. He graduated from Westfield High School in 1957 and Muskingum College in New Concord, OH in 1961. He proudly served in the US Navy on the Charles R. Ware (DD-865) from 1961-1963. Jim worked in the insurance industry for over 35 years.
Jim is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Rosalie (Abbruscato) Goodwin; his four children, John Goodwin and wife Kara, Don Goodwin, Brian Goodwin, and Linda Goodwin and husband Dan Shinneman; and his cherished grandchildren, Breanna, Jacqueline, and Ella.
