I just heard the sad news of the passing of Mr. Goetz. I know there were many people to meet him in Heaven, four I know for sure are his parents, his son Joe, and my mother, Elizabeth Paine. She had a very close friendship with Mr. Goetz, as they served the Town of Lee together for decades.
Mr. Goetz's parents, Margaret and Edward, gave him the second name Aloysius. I found this name interesting so I looked it up. How interesting that Mr. Goetz's parents knew their son would follow in the footsteps of his namesake, St. Aloysius Gonzaga, "who is a model for servant leadership. He was clearly devoted to and at the service of others".
My heart and prayers go out to the entire Goetz family, as I know this is a very difficult time for all of them.
With love, Carolyn Paine
