My condolences to the family! Steve was the nices guy you ever wanted to meet. Personality plus! I will cherish memories of sock hops at the old high school. Cherish your family also, Steve. Prayers for the Lord to wrap His loving arms around the Goodrich family and friends as we grieve.
Steve and I played trumpet together in band at CHS...always upbeat he was a great guy. I am truly sorry to hear of his passing . It was a pleasure to meet his family last summer at the 1890 House museum in Cortland. My thoughts are with them at this time.
I am saddened by the passing of an old Friend. It has sadly been many years since we last got together. I too grew up on West Main Street in Cortland. A few years later I met Susan while living in McGraw. Steve was a good friend and I hold nothing but fond memories. My condolences to Susan and Ben.
In Loving Memory
