Louis W Goodmuth Jr. passed away suddenly on Saturday, September 11, 2021.  He was 90.

His loving wife Violet V. “Jean” Goodmuth predeceased him in 2018.   They were very happily married for 64 years !

Lou proudly served in the Korean war in the U.S. Army, 25th Division, 27th Infantry Regiment (“Wolfhounds”), Tank Company.   He subsequently worked for BG&E for 37 years as a trouble dispatcher.   He enjoyed traveling to many states, and loved tinkering with house projects, working in the yard and spending time with his family.   And as family and neighbors can attest, he would give you the shirt off his back.
