One thing I can always remember about Mr. John Goodmanson is that you got an instant genuine feeling from him that he was mighty proud of his family and devoted to them with all his heart and soul. Knowing his family these many years that I have has shown in their lives what a true inspiration he was for them. A STRONG spirited, truly GREAT individual. I was honored to know him and call him my friend. He will be greatly missed. May he Rest In Peace.
