He was born on May 15, 1946 to Marjorie Rosenblatt Goodman and Jack Goodman in Salt Lake City, Utah. He graduated from Rowland Hall-St. Marks School and Westminster College.
He was active for many years in the Salt Lake community, including working at the Utah State Historical Society and the Salt Lake Community Action Program. His passion for stars and trains led him to become an active member of the Salt Lake Astronomical Society, the Utah Astronomy Club, and the Wasatch N-Scale Model Railroad Club.
He was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his sisters Kathy Reynolds (Hud) of Dade City, Florida and Jean Bailard (Jim) of Carpinteria, California, nephews Hudson Reynolds IV and Morris Joseph Reynolds, nieces Jill and Emily Bailard (David Lisson), and great niece and nephew Jane and William Lisson.
A celebration of life will be held on a date to be determined in 2024. We would like to thank the wonderful staff at the Ridge Cottonwood. Donations may be made in his memory to the International Dark Sky Association or the charity of your choice.
