Friends of Tim Goode

Many of you knew my dad, Tim Goode, in person. I wanted to let you know that he passed away last night after a long illness.

If you did know him, i hope you’ll remember him as a good man, a kind man, and a generous man. A man who loved Wycombe Wanderers and all the friendships our great old club gave him.

Firstly my sincere condolences to you Ed, and all the family.

I had the pleasure of working with Tim who was already on the Wycombe Wanderers Trust Board when I joined it in 2011. The following year, we acquired ownership of WWFC from Steve Hayes and the real hard work of owning and running a football club began.

Tim, Keith, Garry, Reg and myself then became the founding directors of Frank Adams Legacy Limited with the responsibility of owning Adams Park and its memorabilia.

Tim always gave wise advice at our meetings, though his personal circumstances meant that he stood down from both boards in 2015.

I will raise a glass to his memory at the first possible opportunity.

Sorry to hear @Floyd.

Arguing and bantering on here can get a little silly at times, but you remember the proper stuff that matters when times like this happen

I’m so sorry to hear that, @Floyd . We didn’t really share much in terms of our outlook on the wider world, politics and fishing, but I always found your dad charming, insightful and decent to the core. He was always amusing company and we loved talking about our football team.

I hope you and the family can take some solace from a great life well lived.

I consider myself very lucky indeed to have known Tim, and kindness and generosity are just two of the many qualities that are foremost in mind.

I am so desperately sad to hear this news. There are so many memories flooding back from the times you and I spent with your dad following the Chairboys up and down the country.

So many of those memories are joyful ones, from the cup runs in the F.A. Cup and League Cup, through to random trips to random places, I can picture him smiling and laughing, ready to share a tale, always engaging, always so generous with his time.

As already mentioned, he played a significant role in the establishment of the WWFC Trust, through to the takeover from Steve Hayes in 2012, in doing so helping to save the football club from administration, and beyond. It’s just one of countless examples where his expertise, generosity and good humour shone through.

That expertise came from Hatters Lane school via Harvard Business School, but his passion was the Chairboys and angling. He wrote his own angling column in Bucks Free Press between 1972-1991.

I know how lucky you felt to have a dad like Tim, and I know Tim felt lucky to have a son like you.

Sending you, Rachel, your mum and Catherine my condolences and love. You are all in my thoughts.

Though I did not know your Dad he certainly is someone many of us were aware of and who helped us navigate those difficult days after Hayes.

Thank you and rest in peace Tim.
