Donald R. Good

Donald R. Good of Lancaster met his Lord and Savior on February 26, 2024, at the age of 83. He was the son of the late Charles and Jennie Good. He was married to Barbara M. Good on May 27, 1967, and celebrated 56 years of marriage before her passing July 11, 2023.

Don was very sociable and knew or chatted with people everywhere he went. In his younger years, Don loved to roller skate and went several times a week. He had several Corvettes in his lifetime and enjoyed taking his dog, Taffy, for rides with the top down. Don loved going to garage sales and antique shops and was a collector. He had over 600 old potato mashers that he enjoyed collecting. He also loved going to auctions and made many friends there. Friday nights always included Green Dragon for the auction, subs and fish sandwiches, and Wednesday nights were dedicated to Horst Auction. He also loved Boehringer’s cheese steaks and ice cream. Don was a salesman for most of his life. He sold furniture for Good’s Furniture and Bareville Furniture for years before retiring. He loved helping his daughters decorate their homes, hang pictures, and do yard work such as weed eating and gardening before his Parkinson’s limited him. Don attended Harvest Bible Church in Lancaster and loved pipe organs played at their full capacity.

He will be missed by his daughter Jennifer (Dwayne) Stauffer, Denver, and daughter Amy Good, Denver. Also surviving are two grandsons, Zachary Stauffer (wife Nichole Esh Stauffer), Stevens and Ryan Stauffer (girlfriend Jaden Greco), Denver. He had 3 grand dogs he cherished as well, Bentley, Gibby, and Rico Suave. He was preceded in death by his wife, Barb Good; sister, Helen Haas; brother Harold Good; and nephew Clifford Good.

The family would like to thank Providence Place of Lancaster for their patience and care of Don during his last years as well as Life Song Hospice. He only ate meat and potatoes or chicken pot pie (no veggies), and did things his way, but was so loved.
