I remember meeting Jeff before any of us got into radio.  Jeff and some other friends were broadcasting with their own station.  We had so much fun in those early years and getting into broadcasting.  Thanks for many great memories!!

A wonderful man.  Excellent engineer when we worked together at Susquehanna.  A sad day for family & friends.

Rest well my friend.  You will be missed.

Worked with Jeff in Fort Wayne. All I can say is Jeff was a great gut. Condolences to his family.

Visit with the Goode clan......Richard, Barry, Jeff and Leonard.

Oh, Laurinda....I'm so sorry!  You've both been on my mind recently.  You, Jeff, Chris and I sure had a lot of good times together!  I can't believe it's been so many years ago.  The 19th of February will be 13 years since Chris passed.  I am so sorry you are going thru this.

We were really surprised and saddened to hear that Jeff had passed.  I enjoyed our calls and hearing about family history.  Your are in our prayers.

I have very fond memories of Jeff, going all the way back to Broadcast Circuit Systems in the building on Lake Avenue with Majic.  I have some fun memories of you too, both listening to you as Dawn Andrews, and for the short time that we worked together for Rita at the Bookmark.  I knew that Jeff had some health issues, and we didn't speak much, but it was always a pleasure to hear from him.  I'm truly sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  Jeff was a wonderful and talented friend, and his absence will leave a void.  If there's anything I can do, please let me know.  Again, so sorry for your loss.

We are so sorry to hear about Jeff.  Thankful his struggle is over, but know that's little comfort.  If there is anything at all we can do, I hope you know we're here and will do what we can to help. 

I am so sorry about Jeff, I can't imagine.  I wouldn't be able to function.  Deal with one day at a time and take care of yourself.  I'm so glad you have plenty of family around.  

My heart is broken.  Jeff was a good man.  My deepest condolences.

I just exchanged notes with Diane up in Michigan.  We're both feeling terrible sadness.  He was the best.

I'm so very sorry Laurinda.  He lived such a struggle life for so long.  Hugs

I just want you to know that you should not have any doubts about you!  You were a wonderful caregiver and loved him for years.  I commend you for being such a caring and nurturing person.  Take as much time as you need to get through the hurt.  If you need anything, you already know where to find us.  

I'm sorry to hear about Jeff.  You are in my thoughts. 

Our trip to Bonaire together and that horrible flight issue.  We laughed about it later.  Sending you love, hugs and prayers.  Jeff was extraordinary and so is the love your two share.  That love is forever. 

Must of been around 1983, I was a bored thirteen year old kid, you and Jeff surprised us by taking Steve and I to Cedar Point.

Laurinda, I am so sorry for your loss.  Sending you prayers during this very difficult time.

I'm so sorry Laurinda!  My heart hurts for you.  Much love and prayers!

So sorry for your loss.  My prayers and condolences to you and your family.

So sorry for your loss....prayers for you.  I remember how nice Jeff was when we took that photography class together....please let me know if you need anything at all.

I am so sorry for your loss.  You are in my prayers.

Laurinda, I'm so sorry.  I never met Jeff but if you married him, he must have been a wonderful person.  Sending much love and hugs to you.

Laurinda, I am so sorry for your loss.  Sending prayers to you and your family. 

Laurinda - I am so sorry for your loss.  My heart and prayers are with you.

My thoughts are with you and your family.  I'm so very sorry.  I know he must have been a wonderful man to have snagged you.  Hugs dear friend.

So sorry for the loss of your beloved Jeff. 

So sorry for your loss.  Praying for you and your family

I'm so sorry for your loss.  My prayers are will you.

So sorry for your loss, praying for you.  

I'm so sorry for your loss.  Hugs and prayers to you and the family.

Laurinda, I'm so sorry for your loss.  Hugs and prayers to you my friend.

Laurinda, I'm so sorry...you're in my prayers.

I'm sorry for your loss.  You are in my prayers.

Laurinda, we're so sorry for your loss.  Hugs and prayers for you and your family.

So sorry for your loss.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

So sorry to hear this.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

So today has been an emotional day.  13 years ago today my father left this world, so hard to believe it's been that long.  Today we said our goodbyes to one of his great friends, Jeff Goode.  Lots of memories with the two of them when I was growing up!  So I have to say I hope you are having a great party up there in heaven!  Miss and love you guys!

Sad to read this.  Truly an excellent engineer and appreciated our years working together at Susquehanna.  Condolences to the family.

Jeff gave me a revelation.  I worked in radio,  satellite and TV for 20 years.

So sorry to hear, Jeff was one of the Good Guys.  Our condolences to his family.

I'm so saddened to hear about Jeff's passing.  He was one of the "cool guys" that I looked up to when I was first starting out as a DJ back in the early 80's.  Jeff had a great way of explaining technical matters so that anyone could understand them.  I always remember him being calm and collected during stressful situations, and treating everyone with kindness and respect.  Jeff was a great guy and he is going to be missed very much.  

Praying for his wife and family.  

Everyone who has worked in Indy Radio knows Jeff Goode was a brilliant engineer -  his ears could hear the most minute changes - but not enough know how incredibly funny he was.  One had to really be paying attention and listening closely, but he gave me some of the best laughs I got at 1610.  He also taught me more than I can recount about how to talk to and treat engineers.

Thank you, sir, for calibrating my signal.    

Through the decades and all the stops along the way, Jeff was one of the more memorable people I've encountered.  Great guy

Oh man I hadn't heard.  I'm so sorry to hear that.  Keeping you all in my thoughts.

This is heart shattering.  Jeff was a memorable engineer with great stories.

I am so sorry to hear this.  Sending prayers for his wife and loved ones. 

Jeff was an amazing engineer and was always willing to talk Indy Car with me.  He helped me choose my home studio gear many years ago and always so nice to be around.  Many prayers to his family, especially for Laurinda. 

Jeff was a pro, and an audio genius with great ears.  His often-muttered humorous lines were usually intended for a small audience,  and I was fortunate to have been on the receiving end of those more times than I could count.  If he was hanging out in the Susquehanna Indy smoking area, that's where I wanted to be.  He's the one that tipped me off, after I bought my first radio station, that I could file for (and get) about a 38% power increase.  Not sure what made me call to catch up with him on my evening commute a while back, but I'm glad I did.  I hope he knew how much I appreciated his advice and friendship.

When setting up my home studio a few years ago, I had some issues dialing in the sound.  I tried to hire Jeff to come to my house and help me.  He said to just send him a few recordings and he'd listen to them.  He had me make a few tweaks and it was perfect.  Jeff had incredible ears.  I offered to pay him, but he refused.  Jeff was a one of a kind.

 

Laurinda

I am very saddened by your loss.  You are one of the world's good people. I never knew your husband, but by association, i suspect he is also.  

I am sure you had big plans for retirement and time together.  I will add this to the list of things I would like God to explain when I get a chance to have that conversation.

I wish you all of the comfort possible as you deal with the void his death leaves behind.

Blessings and grace upon grace to you and all of your family.
