June Bernice Codell was born July 1, 1935, in
Philadelphia and died May 31, 2021 in Berke-
ley CA, just short of her 86th birthday. She
was the loving daughter of Maurice and
Manya (Marian) Codell who last resided in
Lake Worth FL. She was predeceased by her
parents and sister Helen Miller of Boynton
Beach FL, and survived by her brother
Richard Codell of Sandy, UT. June was an as-
piring actress on local Philadelphia TV while
also working as a magazine editor in New
York. She moved to San Francisco in the
early 60’s and led an active and interesting
life on the coast. She was loved by her fam-
ily and friends, and in later years taken care
of by her dear caregiver and friend Rosie
Galindo (who is by the way, an angel). At her
request, Rosie and her family scattered
June’s ashes in San Francisco Bay.

Harold (Hal) I. Goodman, age 84, was born in
Philadelphia on February 12, 1936. He
passed away on June 30 at Northern Light
Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, with
his wife Florence by his side, after suffering a
massive heart attack. Hal was a graduate of
Akiba Hebrew Academy (presently Barrack
Hebrew Academy), class of 1954. He also
graduated from Drexel University in Phil-
adelphia. Hal was a pain control doctor who
did not use pharmaceuticals, and a clinical
psychologist. Hal and Florence bought a va-
cation home in Eastport in 1988 and once re-
tired, he moved there permanently. Hal
served as flotilla commander of the Eastport
Coast Guard Auxiliary, was vessel examiner
and taught boating safety courses. He was a
ham operator and volunteered with the Mari-
time Mobile Services Network. He played his
flute at several music meets in Washington
County. Hal was sick for several years, with
encephalitis and then a stroke, which con-
fined his once active life to a wheelchair and
hospital bed. He missed his activities but
never complained and kept his wonderful
sense of humor. Hal was predeceased by his
son, Lee Allen Goodman, an artist In New
York City and his parents Margaret and
Samuel Goodman. He is survived by his
wife Florence Brunner: his sister Hermina
(Norman) Kranzdorf; his daughter Robin
(Mark) Way; grandchildren Melissa and Matt
