- Jack Kenneth Goodner, 75, of Danville, passed away at 12:15 p.m. Friday, March 27, 2009, at the Veterans Affairs Illiana Health Care System, Danville.
He was born in Danville on Aug. 14, 1933, the son of Kenneth E. and Hazel E. (Swisher) Goodner.
Jack married JoAnn Taylor on Jan. 30, 1959 in Georgetown. She survives. Other survivors include his two children, Todd (Lisa) Goodner and Lu Ann (Jack) Picklap; grandchildren, Travis and Mason Goodner and Jeff and Kristen Picklap; one sister, Mary (Harry) Shepherd; one brother, Melvin Goodner; one sister-in-law, Mary (Gene) Morrow and very special nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, Eugene Goodner and one infant sister, Marie.
Jack was a graduate of Danville High School. He was a veteran of the United States Navy during the Korean War and served as a submariner. He previously owned his own real estate office, Land Office Realty, and retired from the Operations Department at the University of Illinois in 1998.
Jack was a member of the American Legion Post 210 and a member of the Danville Barbershop Chorus for many years. He previously served on the Vermilion County War Museum Board and served as a golf ranger at Harrison Park Golf Course. Jack loved to play golf and ride his motorcycle.
The essence of Jack's life was showing love to his family and friends through random acts of humor, wit, words, and song. It was not uncommon to find an old treasured family photo in the mail from him or a small gift tucked beside our dinner plate at one of our many family gatherings.
