Tom Goold was born and raised in the Gilroy area. He moved to Beaverton, OR after the passing of his wife, Bruna, in 2016.
Tom joined his beloved Bruna peacefully in his sleep surrounded by his family in Beaverton, Sunday, January 9.
Tom was an avid outdoorsman. He enjoyed camping, hiking and fishing. Tom also enjoyed traveling. His career with the Santa Clara County Parks Department as a Park Ranger fulfilled his passion for the outdoors. He had several hobbies; speed boat racing and model trains. But his legacy was his model ship building, leaving behind hundreds that he had given away and some he kept.
He is survived by his two sons, Patrick Goold (Merci Goold) and Tom Goold, Jr. (Phoebe Goold) and step daughter, Marjorie (Marshall) Ramirez and Edward Ramirez (Beaverton, Oregon), seven grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
