Mr. Goodwin was a 1935 graduate of Norway High School. At an early age, he developed a strong work ethic and while in high school delivered milk for the family's business, Goodwin's Dairy. He was to become an integral part of the business, Goodwin's Dairy and Dairy Bar and four additional dairy bars in Portland, Auburn, Rumford and Farmington. Among other duties, it was Goodwin who made the ice cream for all their restaurants. In June 1936, he was awarded the degree of state of Maine Farmer by the state of Maine Association of Future Farmers of America. After graduation, he joined the family business on Pike Hill in Norway. In 1948, they moved the business to South Paris, where they built Goodwin's Dairy and Dairy Bar. Four additional dairy bars were added in Auburn, Portland, Rumford and Farmington. He managed the dairy processing functions and maintenance of the South Paris facility and made the ice cream for all of their restaurants. He delivered milk to local schools and during the summer, also delivered to numerous summer camps in the area. In December 1937, he married Pearl D. Noble. During their early married years, they enjoyed many fishing and camping trips with friends to Moosehead and Kokadjo. He also enjoyed hunting trips with his brother-in-law, Allie Noble and friends, to the Noble camp "Ketchum" at Sunday River. He enjoyed music and played saxophone with the Noble Family Band. In 1957, he married his second wife, Marie Butler Goodwin. They eventually settled at Kal Shores on Lake Pennesseewassee and became one of the first residents on the lake to own a party boat. After their retirement, they spent winters in Florida, and returned to Norway for the summer. During the summers, he worked for Snow's Marina doing boat repairs and making deliveries. He was a familiar face in the Norway-Paris area. He was particularly special to the local children who looked forward to his weekly visits at the old Mildred M. Fox Elementary School where he delivered milk from the dairy. Even L.L. Bean founder and namesake, Leon Leonwood Bean, would frequent the dairy just to buy large quantities of cottage cheese from Goodwin. He was a very hard worker. Very dedicated to the business and lived a life filled with work, family and fun. Not an outwardly demonstrative man, he had a keen sense of humor. He had a summer home at Kal Shores on Lake Pennesseewassee and owned one of the first party boats on the lake. He eventually sold his home and moved to Florida with his second wife, Marie, who passed away in 2000, he loved the lake and came back for the entire summer in 1989. Eventually they relocated to Nettles Island, Jenson Beach, Fla., where he spent some of his happiest years. He loved the warm temperatures, sun and working around their home doing landscaping. As a hobby, he started helping his neighbors with their yard work and maintenance. That hobby evolved into a business with 90 customers. He was a real talker and many days, spent more time talking than mowing. After the death of his wife, Marie, in 2000, he moved back to Maine in 2001 to be near his family. He lived independently in Topsham until moving to assisted living and subsequently to Sedgewood Commons in 2003. The son of Archie Gibbs and Eola Hewey Goodwin is remembered as a dedicated worker, family man and friend who was once so determined to get to work that he skied down Pike's Hill during a snowstorm. When was living on Pike's Hill there was a terrible storm. The roads were impassable so he skied from his farm to the main road because he needed to get to work. He enjoyed boating, motorcycling and snowmobiling. He also enjoyed woodworking and over the years made many items. He was a "jack-of-all-trades" and could repair anything. For years, he would always be seen with his faithful dog, "Chief." He was a 55-year member of Oxford Lodge 18, AF & AM, Elks Club in Jenson Beach and a volunteer at the Nettles Island Fire Department. He was predeceased by a brother, Gordon Goodwin; a sister, Natalie Ward and her husband; a very special brother-in-law, Charles; and a sister, Priscilla Keller and her husband, Omar. He died at the age of 91 at Sedgewood Commons in Falmouth where he lived his final years surrounded by photographic memories of his childhood and the family business, Goodwin's Dairy and Dairy Bar.
