Larry Dale Goodman, 68, of Niles, Ohio, formerly of Rowan County, went home to be with the Lord after a brief illness on Sunday, June 24, 2018 at 2:31 A.M. in Cleveland Clinic Akron General Hospital.

He was born in Crix Ridge, Kentucky on October 8, 1949, the son of the late Robert C. and Edith Riddle Goodman.

Larry was a graduate of Rowan County High School.  Following high school, he furthered his education at Morehead State University.

Mr. Goodman was employed on the Assembly Line of General Motors for 36 years.  Following retirement, Larry assisted Toyota of Warren as a Car Transport Driver.

Larry was a man of faith and loved his church, a deacon at Deforest Road Free Will Baptist Church in Warren for many years.  In his spare time, he enjoyed a quiet day at the lake with a fishing pole in hand, admiring classic cars, a good scoop of ice cream, and most of all spending time with his family and grandchildren.  Mr. Goodman was never seen without a smile on his face and an extended hand to help those in need.
