James “Gib” Goodfellow
It is with a saddened heart that we share the news that our beloved friend Gib Goodfellow passed away Tuesday February 20 2024 due to a fall. The entire dance community mourns this loss. He was a very special person and friend to many.
Gib was a committed volunteer director on the TSDS board for many years, sharing his leadership skills and always providing thoughtful and imaginative ideas.
Gib was passionate about all forms of dance yet he always put his family first. His love for his wife Phyllis, his children and grandchildren was evident in his conversations.
He often talked about his teaching days and his involvement with the community being the head of the Historical Society. He got along with everybody he knew and was always very helpful when someone was in need.
Gib really enjoyed his life and lived to the fullest. He always had a smile and a good word when greeting you. Gib will be greatly missed both on and off the dance floor.
The entire community shares the family’s tremendous loss and grief.
