      GOODBODY, THOMAS L. JR. November 19, 1933 to January 2, 2012 Lt. Colonel (USAF-Retired)

      Thomas L. Goodbody, Jr., died Monday, January 2, 2012, at the age of 78. He was born in San Diego, California, to Thomas L. Goodbody, Sr. and Dorothy Hall Goodbody.

      He was a graduate of San Diego High School and quite possibly the proudest graduate ever of San Diego State University, where he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, was president of Blue Key, vice president of Associated Students and president of Associated Men Students. He was named in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. He served 24 years in the Air Force and worked for 16 years as the Director of Procurement and Contracting in the Department of Information Technology for the Commonwealth of Virginia. His last boss, Chuck Livingston, was quoted as saying, "He was a pain in the ass."

      He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Elizabeth Smith Goodbody, who is no doubt bound for sainthood. He is also survived by his five fabulous children, Lynn Goodbody Davidson (Chuck), Bonnie Goodbody Kettlewell (Mark), Thomas L. Goodbody, III (Sondra), Elizabeth M. Goodbody, and Dee L. Goodbody (his favorite and obviously the writer of this obituary). He is also survived by five beloved grandchildren, Kyle T. Jones, Courtney Jones Payne, Taylor G. Goodbody, Katie Jacks, and Ella D. Goodbody, and two great-grandchildren, Chloe Christian and Channing Hope Payne.

      A funeral mass will be held at St. Edward the Confessor Catholic Church, 2700 Dolfield Drive, Richmond, on Friday, January 6, 2012, at 10:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution to the charity of your choice. Go Aztecs!
