Charles Frank "C.F." Goode

Charles Frank "C. F." Goode, 85, died on Friday, January 23, 2004 at his residence in Beaumont, Texas. He was born on January 28, 1918 in Moss Point, Mississippi, the ninth of twelve children born to Nettie Deakle and Duke Richard Goode. He spent his early years in Gulfport, Mississippi, and his family moved to Beaumont when he was six years old. C.F. attended Beaumont High School where he was a good math student and a well-known baseball player. He left school to help support his family, and enlisted in the Army in 1940. He trained in El Paso, Texas with the First Cavalry Division - Delta Troop, one of the last horse-mounted cavalry units. During the war he served in the Asian Pacific Theater, where he was wounded twice in 1944. In recognition of his military service, he was decorated with a Purple Heart Ribbon with First Oak Leaf Cluster, two Bronze Star medals, a Philippine Liberation Ribbon, an American Defense Ribbon, a Good Conduct Medal, an Asiatic Pacific Ribbon, and three overseas bars. The wounds to his arm and chest ended a promising baseball career, but never diminished his life-long love of the game. He completed his education while recuperating from his war wounds and returned to Beaumont. He met and married Beatrice Jett in June 1945. C.F. worked for Dallas Williams Furniture Store for several years before he joined Texas-U.S. Chemicals. He retired from Texas-U.S. (Synpol) in 1983 after more than 30 years of service.

Debbie Spurgeon - Jan 25, 2002
Hal Courts, Jr., known as Sonny to his immediate family and close relatives, was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. On Wednesday doctors at M.D. Anderson in Houston removed the tumor, which was about as big as a golf ball. There are fingers that go deeper which they were unable to remove. Today Uncle Sonny fed himself some grits, and was able to walk a short distance. He hasn't spoken yet, but once the swelling is down we are hopeful he will be able to. We are awaiting word on the type of treatment he will need, and of when he can come home. All prayers on his behalf are greatly appreciated. Will update as more information comes available.
God Bless You All.

Uncle Sonny is hospitalized in Beaumont at Hermann Memorial Baptist. He was admitted Wednesday evening with what was believed to be pneumonia. However, doctors discovered that a blood clot had moved through his heart and lungs causing anolism. Doctors called the family in, believing he wouldn't make it through the night. Miraculously, he did survive. However, he has continued to have setbacks including partial paralysis of his stomach and problems associated with that. He was doing better last night, but the situation is extremely serious. Please pray for Uncle Sonny in his fight with brain cancer and other complications. Aunt Hazel and the girls, Jennifer, Julie, Jill and Jackie and their families need your prayers as well. I will update as new information comes available.

Again, please pray for the family. Your prayers are appreciated.

My uncle, Hal Ogden Courts, Jr., better known as Sonny to all his relatives, passed away the morning of July 3rd, surrounded by his wife, daughters, grandchildren, sons-in-law, brother and sisters, and some of his neices. The family sang "ly and Tenderly, Jesus is Calling," as he took his last breath. He was finally at peace.

Uncle Sonny battled a brain tumor and fast moving cancer from December 20th until July 3rd, never waning in his faith and knowing that at the end of his journey he was going Home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Uncle Sonny was a handsome man, and always reminded me a bit of Andy Griffith. He had a personality that made him many friends over the years and was adored by his family.

He served his country in the Korean War, was a Mason, and longtime member of First United Methodist Church of Vidor. He and Aunt Hazel raised four daughters, Jennifer, Julie, Jill and Jackie. They blessed him with seven grandchildren, Alexis and Ashley, daughters of Julie and husband Raymond Saunders; Katie B. , daughter of Jennifer Bourgeois; Dominique and Brittney, daughters of Jacki and Dwayne Farmer; and Branch and Dusty Harper, sons of Jill and Paul Harper.

He loved nothing in life more than being with his children, and as a testament to that, they all stayed within a mile or two of his and Aunt Hazel's residence. He took care of his parents in their old age, quitting his job to make sure they were properly looked after. He would come to the aid of anyone who needed his help and always put others first.

I'll always remember Uncle Sonny's quick smile and laugh, and the way he and my Dad (Dickie) would come up with pranks to play on others. They were never mean, just funny.

Aside from his family, he loved going to the auction sales in Southeast Texas with my Dad and his son-in-law Dwayne Farmer. They would meet up with other men and sit in the heat and dust just for the fun of it (although on occasion a horse or cow was purchased). It was their "social scene" and those who knew him from there will miss him as well.

His Granddaugher Alexis wrote a poem about "Pawpaw Killjoy," a nickname she gave him when she was but a little girl. She read the poem at his service as a last act of love to her Grandpa. The daughters all offered their own words of beauty about the man who was their father, and our Uncle Sonny. He loved hymns, and the entire congregation sang his favorites. His nephew-in-law, David Burnham, sang "Go Rest High on That Mountain." It was a fitting service for a man like Uncle Sonny.

He will be missed by all, but his memory will be with us through the years. We were all blessed to have known this special man.
