IN MEMORIAM: Carl B. Good;

Retired Here After Career In N.J.

COOPERSTOWN – Carl B. Good, 1937-2016, a businessman in Princeton, N.J., who moved here after his retirement, passed away quietly on Monday, March 14, at his home, with Pamela, his wife of 54 years, by his side.  Frequent visits from family and friends had made Carl’s last days happy and comfortable.

A member of the Princeton University Class of 1959, Carl resided in Princeton for 36 years. He began his career at IBM, then was president of R.J. Newman, an historic building restoration company.  Carl then joined Homasote Company in Trenton, designing and marketing industrial packaging made from recycled materials. He retired in 2002.

In Princeton, Carl and Pam raised their family and traveled widely. Carl was active in the Princeton community and contributed to the town’s many performing arts associations.  Carl was a member of the Board of Trustees of the professional Princeton Ballet Company. On occasion he appeared on stage with the company; Carl astonished the audience and himself,  gamely dancing a minuet in the annual performance of “The Nutcracker”.

Carl and Pam settled in Cooperstown, where Carl dedicated himself to the billage and its natural resources. Carl served on the Board of Directors  of the Otsego Lake Association and a number of committees to preserve the village and its environment.  Carl was also active in the Rotary Club of Cooperstown and supported the club’s many activities.

He is survived by his wife and two daughters, Gretchen Good Pingel and Lisey Bennett Good, sons-in-law J. Spencer Pingel and Leonard Scott Snyderman, and his grandchildren Rory, Fritz and Sophie.

Donations in Carl’s memory may be made to the Otsego Lake Association, PO Box 13, Springfield Center, NY 13468, and the Rotary Club of Cooperstown, PO Box 993,  Cooperstown, NY  13326.

Plans for a memorial service will be announced later this spring.

Arrangements are under the care of Tillapaugh Funeral Service, Cooperstown.
