William Goodrich lived a life devoted to helping people and working at many Southern Tier race tracks. Often found with a coffee in hand, many race car drivers were greeted by Bill as they entered the pits, as he has worked as a track official for 27 years at tracks like PennCan, Five Mile Point, Thunder Mountain, Outlaw, Skyline, and Afton. Before he became an official, he raced Pure Stocks at Five Mile Point and Thunder Mountain from 1997 to 2006. He was also a longtimeemployee at Cooks Brothers.

A celebration of life will be announced at a later time. Arrangements entrusted to SAVAGE-DeMarco Funeral Service.
