a.k.a. Dennis Keith Goodman is a former fireman with Henderson Co. Fire Dept.(retired 1995) He was also a homebuilder in Henderson.(Goodman Construction)

I started building this site in 2000, 3 years after our Dad died in December 1997. Its purpose is not to inflame or slander Dennis and his family. It is to inform friends and the rest of our out-of-state relatives why our family was devastated after the death of my father. I hesitated building the site out of respect for my Mother, but now I feel I owe it to myself, my family and to Dennis to expose Dennis and Linda's behavior because they have torn this family apart out of greed and hatred and a twisted idea of superiority. He and Linda have left me no choice but to expose their actions here in these pages. I have tried to reason with Dennis about his attitude and I even shut this site down for a long time as a show of faith. He has proven many times since that he will never be a reasonable man so the website is up again and it's here to stay. If the site ever does go down. Don't worry.
I've mirrored it several times.

UPDATE I wrote about this situation in the other pages, but I have spoken to a lawyer since and did some research. Here is the real reason Dennis has distanced himself from his brothers. He has essentially imprisoned our Mother and stolen his brothers birthright for his own selfish reasons. read on...When Dad died Dennis wasted no time hiring a lawyer to create Mom's Trust. He told no one about it and instructed Mom to NOT tell Roger and me about it. She told us 2 years later and that's when I realized the depth of his greed and depravity. First, he told Mom that if she dies, he wants to be in control of Rogers share and my share of the family estate because he thought we would waste any money we were to recieve. Mom said no, that would not be fair. He had the Trust created and got Mom to sign it. He got a power of attorney, then he avoided Roger and me like the plague. When Mom told us about the Trust and showed us her new will(2 years later), I noticed that Dennis named himself Trustee and his wife Linda as Successor Trustee.(that's the one in charge if Dennis should die before Mom.) Roger and me are NOT Trustees. No beneficiaries are mentioned in the will. The body of the Trust is not in the will. The Trust is a separate entity and Dennis will not let Mom have a copy of it.(i think he's afraid she will show it to ME. like she showed me the will) Mom told me that Roger and me are equal beneficiaries of the CD's and properties contained in the Trust so I consulted a local estate lawyer, Linda Kingston of Mount Dora, Fla. (on my own dime) and she explained to me that those items in the Trust that have Roger and me listed as beneficiaries means nothing. She went on to explain that when the Grantor of the Trust(Mom) dies, the items in the Trust become the property of the Trustees.(Dennis and Linda) The other sons must be named as beneficiaries of the Trust itself in order to benefit from it someday. Mom got angry and Roger was hurt by the fact that he was looked over as Successor Trustee in favor of Linda. Mom told Dennis she wanted the Trust changed. Dennis got very angry and got loud with Mom. He told Mom that he will not discuss the Trust or anything else with us. He told Mom that if she dies he would be fair to us. RIGHT! Dennis is a sneaky bastard. He told Mom that he has power of attorney and the Trust will not be changed. Not only is Dennis a control-freak, he has had a "Hitler-fixation" and has been an extreme racist for as long as I can remember. He wants all Jews dead and he wants all black Americans to go to Africa. Over the years I grew sick of listening to his ravings every time he visited. At least I don't have to listen to him anymore. I have never seen him hug or kiss our mother in as long as I can remember. He has hated his brothers since we were children and refuses to discuss Mom's welfare and especially her finances with us. He put Mom in a nursing-home. Sold her house. He sold Mom's car to his daughter Angela. He never bothered to ask Rog or me if one of US wanted to buy it. Now, Mom wants her own place and Dennis refuses to take her out of there. I suggested to Mom that we build a duplex apartment, Sheila and I will pay half the note on it and we would be there for her. Sheila and I work most of the time but with Mom's money she coud have a caregiver help her out during the weekdays and it would STILL cost less than what she pays for the nursing home.(over $3000 per month) Plus, she would be near her family. When she does in fact die someday, the duplex would become part of the Trust. It would not be wasted money. Dennis trashed that idea quickly. Dennis wants her there so he knows he never has to bother with her. (if we cared for Mom on a daily basis we could possibly make a legal argument about the Trust. Dennis will not allow that) The fact is.. Mom is not ready for a nursing home. She just needs a little help, that's all. It kills me to see what he has done to ALL of us. And HE is the one who controls the my mothers life. Our opinion means zero to him.These pages are only here to help you to understand the type of person my brother is and what he is doing to our family. Our relatives and friends who are up north should know what Dennis and Linda have done to our family since Dad died.Because it is wrong.
