     Donald F. Goodenough was born Nov. 6, 1931 in Monroe County, Wisc., to 
Floyd and Pearl (Wells) Goodenough and died Sept. 8, 2004 in Tillamook.
Mr. Goodenough left Wisconsin for the Pacific Northwest at 16 and lived in 
Oregon the rest of his life. He served honorably in the U.S. Marines and Army, 
and was a veteran of the Korean War. In 1960, he married Maxine DeHart in 
Stevenson. During his working life, he was a jack-of-all-trades, owning gas 
stations, working as a mechanic, and as a truck driver. He loved to tinker 
with cars, and had a passion for Lincoln Continentals. He enjoyed hunting and 
fishing, and always owned and worked on boats. He belonged to the American 
Legion while living in Mosier and also was named by the Mosier Chamber as 
Businessman of the Year.
     Mr. Goodenough was preceded in death by his wife Maxine in 1991, and a 
daughter, Starla Goodenough, in 1979. He is survived by his children, Ramona 
Reynolds and husband Dwight of Lyle, Martha McCafferty and husband Daren of 
Parkdale, Annette Fey and husband Mike of Bay City, Lane Goodenough and wife 
Lisa of Grass Valley, Dusty Goodenough of Monroe, Wash., Jodi Coerper and 
husband Walt of Parkdale, Carrie Goodenough of The Dalles, Robbie Proffitt and 
husband Dennis of Rogers, Ark., Kathie Kurcher of Napa, Calif., and Judy 
Harrington of Mosier.
     He is also survived by numerous brothers and sisters, and by 24 
grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
     A short graveside service at Odd Fellows Cemetery in The Dalles will be 
held Saturday, Sept. 18, at 11 a.m., followed by a potluck dinner at Sorosis 
Park in The Dalles to celebrate his life. Those who wish may make memorial
