Obituary
Harold V. Goodman, 89.
We can only imagine the glorious reunion of our
father, Harold Vernon Goodman, age 89, as he made
his journey to the Lord in Heaven, and gained his
heavenly body.
Harold was the son of the late Vernon and Elizabeth
(Stuan) Goodman. He married Phyllis Ann Hellman on
August 20, 1950. She preceded him in death. He was a
member of Jefferson Street Christian Church.
Harold was a hardworking man starting at the age of
14 years old. He worked with his father and brother
at V. Goodman Transfer in Lincoln, IL, until 1983.
He then worked alongside his sons at Harold Goodman
Excavating and Trucking, Lincoln, IL and on the
family farm. He was a longtime farmer and trustee
for the Lincoln Rural Fire Department for 26 years;
he was also a REACT member and was on the West
Lincoln School Board. He had a strong work ethic and
cared about the community. He loved his family and
friends and above all he loved the Lord. Harold had
a love for life. He liked to go to Branson and
playing cards at the Oasis with his companion
Pauline Boward, who preceded him in death. Harold
was an avid St. Louis Cardinal fan, and racing fan.
He sponsored several cars in the county. He also
liked watching LCHS Railer basketball. Harold was a
kind and generous man to those who knew him and you
may have been a recipient of his many hugs. He would
give you anything you needed, all you had to do was
ask. |
He is the last remaining member of
his immediate family. He is survived by his three
sons, Scott (Debbie) Goodman, Steve (Cindy) Goodman,
and Stacy (Kim) Goodman; nine grandchildren:
Stefanie Crane (Scott Wilkinson), Shelly (Dale)
Miller, Austin Goodman (Hailey Birch), Steven
(Jessica) Goodman, Shanna (Chris) Schneider, Shanae
(Bret) Tripplett, Samantha Goodman (Dustin Miller),
Becca Hagerman (Jeremy Sinnett), and Kelsey Hall;
sixteen great grandchildren. He was preceded in
death by his wife, parents, and brother: Walter
Goodman.
Harold set a wonderful example for all his family
and will be greatly missed.
Services for Harold will be 10:00 a.m. Tuesday April
24, 2018 at Jefferson Street Christian Church with
Michael Mallick officiating. Visitation will be from
400-7:00 p.m. Monday April 23, 2018 also at the
church. Burial at Lucas Chapel Cemetery will follow
the service.
Memorials may be made in Harold’s name to Jefferson
Street Christian Church or The Lincoln Rural Fire
Protection District.
Services are entrusted to Fricke-Calvert-Schrader
Funeral Home in Lincoln.
