Funeral arrangements at the Eaton Funeral Home are incomplete, but the family announced Tuesday that Specialist Goonan would be given full military honors.
The soldier's survivors, besides his mother, include a sister, Mrs. Carol Jones of Franklin; and his maternal grandfather, Joe Creech of Newport, Kentucky. His father, the late Paul Goonan, Sr., died in 1954.
