To paraphrase Erin Good-Stone’s Facebook post which was very heartfelt and accurate:
Our Father, Grandfather, and Great-Grandfather was a shining light in this world. The memories he has left with all of us are endless. For this we are forever grateful. He lived long enough to meet three generations of his family, and beamed with pride because of it. His laugh was legendary, as were his jokes. He had an affinity towards magazine technology, which he bought in bulk for Christmas gifts every year, and we would be foolish not to mention how he loved giving his grandchildren $2 bills. His laugh was infectious. He handed this trait right on down the line, as anyone who has ever been surrounded by a swarm of Goods knows all too well. The man loved Easter! We mean, he really championed Easter fun! He was a war time hero. He loved his wife Mary unconditionally. He lived so long that he saw many of his closest friends and family members pass away. He still loved his life, and moved forward through his grief and on most days managed to give the best of himself despite the losses. We are happy for him to reunite with so many people he loved, that he had lived without for so long. He was loved by all who met him. He was a wonderful soul – beyond comparison. He has left behind a legacy to be proud of. We will miss him terribly. Charlie would say “ Enough said”
