Werden was a great man. I worked on his John Deere balers for him. Wonderful person to know.

My sincere condolences. Mr. Goodemoot will never be forgotten.

My sincere condolences to the family. I had Mr. Goodemoot as a history teacher in mid 1960s at Roxbury Central School. He was a great teacher and made learning fun. Rest In Peace dear teacher

I fondly remember Mr.Goodemoot. He was a great history teacher, and to this day I still remember things that were taught in his classes. Thank you, Mr. Goodemoot.

Mr. Goodemoot was always one of my favorite teachers. He was my history teacher as well as Drivers Ed. I was always amazed at how much history he knew about the local area that didn't come out of a schoolbook. My condolences to his family.

Mr. Goodemoot was a favorite for many of us. His passion for and knowledge of history sparked my interest and love of history. He really cared about all of his students and their learning goals. I regret not seeing him after graduation. I would have thanked him for his dedication and for leaving me a better student than I was before I met him. May he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing for his family.

Mr. Goodemoot was one of my favorite teacher RCS. Fondest memories are how he taught history, his lunch box and his container of hard lemon drop candies. Since my graduation in 1983 I often spoke of Mr. Goodemoot and what I learned from him. May he rest in peace! Kathryn Stratton Roberts.

Mr Goodemoot was my history teacher at RCS in the later 70's fun memories. I moved away but always asked about him from time to time. My sincere condolences to his family may he RIP MaryFrances Balcom

I spent many a day with Werden at his farm doing woodworking and other projects, almost on a weekly basis.

He had a great amount of knowledge on how to do things and prided himself on doing them the "old fashioned" way. Sometimes we got into little tiffs about how to do them and he, reluctantly, admitted that I was correct but that didn't count if there weren't any witnesses to hear it. We laughed about that a lot.

I helped him build his Civil War cannon and we worked on building a rifling bench for 10 years.

I learned how to reload ammunition from Werden and in the winter, sometimes my oldest son, Wesley, and Werden's two boys would roll soup cans down a steep snowcovered hill and shoot at them with .22 rifles.

I went on a few trips with Werden and he would always take a round about side trip to get some special dessert that he knew about.

We got together on Tuesday mornings with a few men for breakfast.

That became a highlight for the guys but after my wife and I moved to Idaho I had to give that up.

I'm so sorry that I didn't have the opportunity to see him one more time.

I have learned a lot from Werden and I will miss him a lot.
