Carolyn & Goldie on their wedding day

12/2009

All of us at the Pool mourn the loss of our beloved Goldie who passed away this week after a most courageous battle. I take my hat off to him a sterling person full of old Pool knowledge with a wonderful sense of humor and great genealogical history.    

I personally want to take this opportunity to say how thankful our family is to have spent our lives knowing Goldie, his beloved wife Carolyn whom I was especially close to and of course Jeff whom I grew up with and little Joshua.

I have family movies and photographs that I will treasure for many years to come of all of us together. May they all four rest in peace.

This past summer I spent time on several different occasions with Goldie recording historical events he remembered and marking family photographs that were my grandmothers and Goldie knew every single person in them! He was amazing. He also contributed to Union Church history and the old USCG station history for which I am very grateful.

He will be sadly missed by everyone.

A Seaman's Prayer

The Lord is my pilot; I shall not drift.
He lights me across the dark waters. He steers me through the deep channels.
He keeps my log. He guides me by the Star of Holiness for His Name's sake.
As I sail through the storms and tempests of life I will dread no danger; for You are near me; Your love and care shelter me.
You prepare a haven before me in the Homeland of Eternity;
You quieten the waves with oil; my ship rides calmly.
Surely sunlight and starlight shall be with me wherever I sail,
and at the end of my voyaging I shall rest in the port of my God
