Carl B. Good ’59

Carl died March 14, 2016, in Cooperstown, N.Y., where he had retired.

Carl came to Princeton from Canterbury School. His father, Carl F. Good ’23, had preceded him at Princeton. In his sophomore year he roomed with Fraser Barron, Butch Kinnebrew, Locke McLean, Peter Metcalf, and Fred Pownall. He joined Ivy Club and served in the Marine Corps for six months.

Upon leaving the Marines, Carl embarked on an extensive business career, starting with Riegel Paper Corp., where he had sales responsibility for the entire Northeast. He joined IBM in 1966, moved on to become president of R.J. Newman, a historic building-restoration company, and then began at Homasote Co., where he worked until 2002.

After he married Pamela Pope in 1962, the Goods moved to Princeton in 1965, where they lived for 36 years. Carl was a supporter of the Princeton Art Museum and was active in the community’s performing-arts groups, serving on the board of the Princeton Ballet Co. Occasionally appearing on stage with the company, he danced a minuet in the company’s annual performance of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker. In Cooperstown, Carl served on the board of the Otsego Lake Association.

Carl is survived by Pamela, two daughters, and three grandchildren. We have sent condolences to the family.
