GOODMAN, Donald Edward. (1929-2017)- It is with great sadness that the family of Donald “Benny” Goodman announce his passing on December 3rd, 2017.

He is also survived by his sister Linda, sisters-in-law Janie and Edith, and many nieces and nephews. Ben is predeceased by sisters Bernice, Beryl, and Norma, as well as brothers John and Bob. Ben was a life-long resident of St. Clair Township and a devoted local farmer. He was a long-time employee of Polysar and in his earlier years he worked on Imperial Oil boats. He was a proud member of the local community, including being a member of the Friendship Club and the Moore Optimist Club. He was also involved in the initial development of the Moore Sports Complex. He had a passion for fishing, camping, traveling, and playing cards. He was a true problem-solver who could fix anything and he was always willing to lend a hand. He will always be remembered for his sense of humor and funny antics. Ben was a true family man with a big smile and an even bigger heart.
