A memorial to Lt Col (Dr) Steven Goff
2 Comments:
Doc Goff you were an exceptional physician. You were my mentor, my role model, my wingman, but most of all you were my friend. I will never understand why you chose death over life. You made a permanent decision which I am forced to accept and live with. I will miss your guidance, your funny, yet sometimes offensive jokes, your infinite wisdom, your worst case scenarios, your fake vomit and poop, your “holy crap”, your passion for being a flight surgeon, your love of flying, and above all, your friendship.
May you be free of your burden and forever fly with eagle’s wings. Goodbye my friend.
Your nurse, your wingman, and your friend

Dr. Goff was a courteous, friendly, warm, gentle teddy bear sort of fellow, the kind of individual that people naturally want to be around. I had the opportunity to meet and work with Dr. Goff on multiple occasions while conducting work at Malmstrom AFB for a pharmaceutical company. I always enjoyed interacting with this attentive and soft-spoken yet highly capable physician-warrior, who had the unusual distinction of having served honorably both in the USMC--where I served in the early 1980s--and of course in the USAF. My wife, Jacquie Maillet, base dietitian, and I had looked forward to spending more time with this special person in his forthcoming retirement. We are still, almost 1 month out, stunned and saddened by his passing. The world definitely needs more good people like Lt. Colonel (Dr.) Steve Goff. Peace be with you, Steve; you touched many lives during your all-too-short run on the deck.
