Gilbert L. Goodnow
June 22, 1941 — August 27, 2020
Gilbert "Gil" L. Goodnow, 79, of Grantville, passed away on August 27, 2020.
He was born on June 22, 1941 to Glenn and Lenarie (Jacquot) Goodnow in Topeka, KS.
Gilbert worked as a Heavy Equipment Operator for Operating Engineers Local 101 for over 30 years.

Gil was a current member of an Independent Christian Church, the Topeka Rose Society, National Rifle Association (NRA), and Operating Engineers Local 101. He was a past elder of Countryside Christian Church, and had been an active member of Northland Christian Church.
