Goddard, who died on September 4, was described by colleagues as a “ferocious and unapologetic champion for the rights of workers” who was widely respected locally, regionally and internationally. They noted that he also worked tirelessly as a trade unionist in the education of public workers through the establishment of the Public Workers Academy.
