Tim graduated from Greensburg Community High School, Class of 1976.
The Greensburg community was shocked and saddened today by a tragic double-fatality traffic accident on I-74 near the U.S.421 interchange northwest of the city just after midnight last night, which claimed the lives of two local brothers who had brought honor to the community through their feats as high school wrestlers.
The victims were Stanley M. Goodman, 19, and Timothy Goodman, 17, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Goodman of 501 N. Monfort St. Both youths, who were returning to Greensburg from a trip out of town, were killed instantly in the crash with a semi-trailer outfit.
Both of the victims were popular, well known young men of the community. Stanley Goodman was graduated from Greensburg Community High School in 1975 and was currently a student at Franklin College. Timothy Goodman was a senior at the local high school and would have graduated in May.
Stan was one of the winningest Pirate matmen ever with 71 career victories that included the 1974 state championship at 112 pounds. He had also won three sectional titles, two South Central Conference crowns and various invitational championships.
Stan was currently a member of the Franklin College wrestling program.
Tim, whose 1976 senior class was the most successful teamwise in the nine-year history of the mat sport here, was among the top five GHS grapplers in career victories. He won two sectional championships and helped the Bucs to their first Eastern Indiana Athletic Conference team title with a victory at 132 pounds this year.
The younger Goodman brother also won the Greensburg Invitational title at his weight. Tim also participated in the grid program at GHS.
Both Pirate grapplers had enjoyed undefeated dual meet seasons, including this past year for Tim and two straight years for Stan in 1974 and 1975.
Stan also holds the all-time fast-pin record at Greensburg High at 10 seconds flat.
Double funeral services for the victims will be held at 2 p.m. Monday in the Gilliland-Howe Funeral Home. The Rev. Keith Wingham, pastor of Wesley Chapel Church in Shelby County, and the Rev. Lloyd Poe, pastor of the Wesleyan Church at Lancaster, will officiate. Burial will follow in South Park Cemetery. Visitation at the funeral home will begin at 3 p.m. Sunday.
Stanley M. Goodman was born November 5, 1956 at Greenville, S.C., and Timothy C. Goodman was born September 28, 1959 at Marion. The family moved to Greensburg several years ago.
Surviving with the parents, Jack L. and Bobbie J. Burroughs Goodman, are five sisters, Lynn, Sherri, Judy, Bambi and Jerri Goodman, and two brothers, Leland and Barry Goodman, all at home.
Also surviving are paternal grandparents, Rev. and Mrs. Gordon Goodman, Greensburg, the maternal grandmother, Mrs. R.C. Burroughs, Greenville, S.C.; and the maternal great-grandmother, Mrs. B.L. Burroughs, Greenville, S.C., and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
