Michael Stephen Goodrich

The couple, Seal Beach residents for 33 years, are active in the 1st United Methodist Church of Seal Beach. Michael was also a member of the Lions. He served in Viet Nam as a Navy journalist. He taught Middle School for 30 years where he was acknowledged and loved by students & teachers alike. He was a man of many talents and a taste for adventure. Michael ran with the bulls in Pamplona, zip-lined in Hawaii, hot air ballooned in Kenya, sky-dived at Lake Elsinore, and hiked the Napili Coast on Kauai. With his wife, Harlene, the couple walked the coast of California from Mexico to the Oregon border.

Michael will be passionately missed by Harlene, his brother Mark, nephew David, his step-son Rob Raban, step-daughter Marci Brewster, seven grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and a myriad of friends.

A Memorial Service will be held at the Los Altos United Methodist Church – 5950 E. Willow Street in Long Beach on Saturday, March 28th at 3 pm. Reception to follow at Claire’s 2300 Ocean Blvd. Long Beach.
