Texas Pumper Dies in Crash
Longtime pumper Larry Goodwill, owner of Larry’s Septic Tank Services in Bastrop, Texas, was killed in a traffic crash July 29. He was 52.
According to news accounts, Goodwill was driving his loaded septic truck on Texas 95 near Austin when he collided head-on with a United Postal Service truck driven by George Center, 37, who also died in the crash. Police said a tire blew on the UPS truck, sending it into the path of the septic truck.
Goodwill operated his one-truck pumping company for 17 years. In addition to pumping, he was a volunteer pastor at the Church of the Living Savior. He built the church on his property several years ago.
Larry’s Septic is no longer in business, according to Goodwill’s wife, Debbie.
