WHO IS LEO GOODMAN?
What is the secret to a long life? Well
according to Leo Goodman, a good attitude and an active lifestyle count for
a lot. Considering that he is 101 yearsyoung – his advice seems pretty sound.
A former member of the Royal Canadian Air Force, Mr. Goodman has been a
regular at the Garnet A. Williams Fitness Centre since he moved to Vaughan
in 2000. Mr. Goodman, who didn’t start
frequenting the gym until well into his
fifties, is a prime example of what life
can be like if we strive for a kind, considerate and active lifestyle. Whether it
is being active or being good to people,
his advice is simple: “Don’t just say nice
things, DO nice things.”
"DON’T JUST SAY
NICE THINGS,
DO NICE THINGS"

great-grandfather of seven not only lives
alone, but has a license and can drive a
car. His preferred method of transportation, however, may still be walking as he
covers six to seven kilometres during his
morning session each day. He is simply
adored by those at the Vaughan community centre as you can never have a bad
day after seeing the smile on his face.
Mr. Goodman is an inspiration not only to
the mature citizens whom he encourages
to be active in any way they can, but to
Vaughan citizens of every age for showing
us there really are no excuses for not getting
into shape. When you have lived as long as
he has, it goes without saying that he has
endured some tough times but what may
be surprising to hear is that at 101 years
of age, Mr. Goodman says that he
has never felt as good mentally and
physically as he does right now!
Last year Mr. Goodman had a special
birthday bash at the community centre, where his family and a multitude
of local friends helped celebrate his
100th birthday. He was given a lifetime
