Wow.

It's always amazing to hear of the passing of someone well-known, especially right after a major event.

My condolences to his family, friends, and anyone else who knew him.

Very sad to hear! Especially just after the whole SOO 1003 event. Will there still be video produced? I hope someone can carry the tradition of great video making under the same name.

Death of Dave Goodheart of Goodheart Video Productions

Sadly,

I learned last night that Dave Goodheart of Goodheart Video Producttions passed away late on Tuesday Nov 9, 2004. Apparently Dave died of a massive heart attack. Dave Goodheart is probably best known for his video productions of steam locomotives, especially the Milwaukee Road #261.

Oddly enough I happened to see Dave Goodheart just 2 days before he died. Dave was the major planner in the Soo Line #1003 Photographers Special that took place on the Wisconsin and Southern Railroad on November 5,6 and 7, 2004. The weather was beautiful and the Soo #1003 ran flawlessly.

I read on another forum that apparently after the last run-by of the Soo #1003 on Sudnay November 7th Dave turned to all there and said "That's a rap". Goodheart Videos are very good productions and he will be missed. Dave is survived by his mother and a sister.

Sadly
