A Great Mentor
Jack meant a great deal to me, the Hoover community and San Diego in general.
While many people affectionately knew Jack as "Jack from Jack In The Box", I knew him as a dear friend and great mentor.
One of my many conversations with Jack literally helped change my life and inspired me to do what I am doing now and subsequently has led me to great happiness.
Without Jack's influence and wisdom I dont think I would be where I am today.
Jack was so generous and kind and supportive and he was such a wonderful role model to so many people.
His support of the Stockton Knights and Hoover High School benefitted and changed the lives of so many kids.
Jack personally got involved in mentoring young men like Todd Doxey and JayDee Luster and had countless positive conversations with so many other young men as well as doling out thousands of dollars in scholarships and donations to kids in need.
No matter what was needed Jack was always a phone call away to help and never wanted any credit or recognition.
The Walk of Champions at Hoover is named after Jack and his beloved wife Mary and realistically they both deserved to be recognized in much grander and significant ways than that.
San Diego and Hoover have lost a true icon, but personally I have lost a true friend of 30 years and I will always remember and be thankful to him for his knowledge, guidance, friendship and support.
My heart goes out to the Goodall family who lost their Patriarch but I am also so grateful that they shared this great man with me and all of San Diego.
We lost 1 of 1 but Jack Goodall truly lived life the right way and impacted everyone who knew him.
God Bless You Jack and the entire Goodall Family!
