More than fifty years after having been friends with Tim, his memory stirred in me the other day. I knew Tim as an undergraduate at Wayne. What a time that was. Tim was, as others mentioned instructive, respectful, loyal, and fun to say the least. His knowledge and commitment to his studies influenced my college career as I know it did others. Even though we went in different directions, the memories obviously live on. God love you Tim. 
God bless you Nancy.

Had the pleasure of working with Tim as a RN at U of M. He was a Resident and the 7C Nurses absolutely loved him. He was one in a million. We are so very sad to hear of his passing. God bless his family.

Here is a picture of Gordon (Tim) up at my parents cottage in Gladwin, Michigan during High School.  He is holding our family cat Smokey.

I first met Dr. Goodman back in high school when he just asked to be called "Tim".  He turned into a good friend and joined our group of friends as we studied and worked our way through high school.  He offered us good advice in several areas and was always there to talk if we needed someone.  He even joined my family several times at our family cottage in northern lower Michigan which was fun.  Tim played matchmaker for me and my soon to be wife.  I will always be greatful for him and I hope I was able to give him a decent friendship in return during  our high school years.  As time went on and we went our separate ways after high school we would still communicate mailing letters to each other (this was way before emails) during college.  He was kind enough to invite my wife and me to his wedding to Nancy.  As life got in the way and he moved east and west from Michigan we lost track of each other.  I finally decided I try to contact him last year and I was several months too late.  I have included a picture of him and his future wife at our family home in Michigan with our family cat happy to see them both. Vic

I had the privilege to work with Dr. Goodman for several years while I was a medical assistant for him, while I was going through nursing school at the time. At any time I could go into his office and he would teach me. He was a great teacher and I also would call him my friend.  I enjoyed walking and taking at lunch, which he walked at lunch rain, snow or sunshine. I worked with him for a while after I received my RN then I moved on. I could always call him or text him for any help or questions that came along while working at any place I was at. He always made time to talk to me and help me with my questions. I always called him or texted him on his birthday (it was the day before my husbands so I always remembered it).  When my first grandchild was born she was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis and Tim was the person I called to reach out for information and reassurance.  He gave it always in spades. He will be missed. RIP

I had the honor to know and serve Gordon "Tim" Goodman for several years. He lived a life of loving-kindness and generous assistance to all beings. Gordon was the shining exemplar of his spiritual path; he radiated humility and gratitude. 

Gordon left a bright mark on the world, but he has not left us and I love him still.

Nancy & Annie,

I am so sorry for your loss. Tim was such a great man and I consider it a privilege that I got to work with him.

I never met Tim in person, but collaborated with him on a book project, which is soon to be published and dedicated to his memory.  His insight and wisdom were exceptional, as was his kindness.  I will miss him.  

Dr. Goodman literally saved my life. An early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer meant I would not be fated to those in the 98th percent who succumb to the disease. A knowledgeable physician and wonderfully caring man he will be greatly missed by all  whose lives he touched. My condolences to his family during this terribly difficult time.

I worked with Tim as his diabetic educator. I was able to get my CDE because of him. It had been my life-long dream. I would go into work at 7:00 am so we could visit for an hour before clinic opened. I loved talking to him. He would take me and my family to dinner and give my kids little gifts.  He was an amazing man. We loved him dearly. Rest In Peace Tim❤️❤️

I had the pleasure of working closely with Dr. Goodman when I was young. When I started that job, I had just moved out on my own for the first time. He always made a point to bring me a bit of whatever fruit or vegetable he had packed for himself for lunch that day to make sure I was getting proper nutrition (he knew I couldn't cook, either). He did this every single day, without fail. He was truly a one-of-a-kind person and cared deeply about everybody. I'll think of him often. Rest in peace, friend.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Goodman when he was in the fellowship program at the University of Michigan. His dedication and compassion for patients was exemplary. While working with him, I suffered the loss of my spouse and without Tim’s compassionate manner, I’m not sure I could’ve ever survived. I am forever grateful to have met him. My deepest condolences to his family. 

I just recently had an appointment with Dr. Goodman and was able to visit via zoom.  I was hopeful that we would be able to work well together as his medical approach matched up to what I typically look for in pursuit of healthcare.   I had just completed blood work and bone scan and was awaiting my consult on results.  I'm sad for his families loss and for the medical community and the people he has been able to help.   RIP Dr. Goodman
