    Cindy and I want to send our deepest condolences to the entire Goodhart family. Over the past 40 years of employment at GSI I have had the privilege to get to know Frank and I have developed a very deep respect for him. I know I will miss him. Cindy and I will keep all of the family in our prayer, especially Peg. It’s a very difficult time for you all but the recent memories will fade and be replaced by many, many good memories of Frank.

    To Peggy, Frank, Gary, Randy, David and all the Goodhart Family,

    We send our deepest sympathy to you. In times of loss, our memories are the things that help us to smile and we have plenty of wonderful memories of Frank – football games, hunting trips, boat rides on the river, church, company Christmas parties and the special relationship he had with Charlene’s parents, Russell and Ethel Morrison. We feel very blessed to have had Frank as a friend for many years. May you feel God’s everlasting arms supporting you during this time of grief.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you,
    Clair and Charlene Metzler

    Dear Goodhart Family, my deepest sympathy to you all as Frank’s prayer and wishes came true as he died sooner than later. He was so dear as he kept asking if his feet were cold. It was my pleasure to be one of his nurses and to hopefully help you all along the way. It was nice to get to know all of you in the midst of a stressful time. Take care.

    Peggy and family, I just learned 2 days ago of Frank’s passing. What a great loss to all who knew him. I have wonder memories of time spent with him in many hunting seasons in Perry County. He probably already had Mother make him creamed rice in Heaven! I am honored to have known such a kind Christian man.
