YOU KNOW THE SAYING, LOOKS
CAN SOMETIMES BE DECEIVING, AND
A PERSON THAT LOOKS
INTIMIDATING CAN ACTUALLY BE
COMFORTING AND KIND.
IS A TOUGH GUY ON THE
OUTSIDE, AND A SWEETHEART ON
THE INSIDE. DR. ALLEN GOODELL-
HOLMES WAS A WELL-RESPECTED
PSYCHOLOGIST IN THE TWIN
CITIES, A MOTORCYCLIST WHO HAD
THE NICKNAME, "DOC" AND HOW
HE'S BEING REMEMBERED AS A
FEARLESS ADVOCATE FOR ABUSED
CHILDREN.
IT WAS ALL ABOUT EMPOWERING
THE CHILDREN, AND SO THAT THEY
COULD NOT BE HELD HOSTAGE BY
WHAT HAD BEEN DONE TO THEM FOR
THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
Reporter: DR. ALLEN GOODELL-
HOLMES SPENT DECADES COUNSELING
THE CHILDREN, LISTING AS THEY
SHARED THEIR OR STORIES OF
ABUSE.
HE WAS A STAUNCH ADVOCATE
FOR THE PROTECTION OF CHILDREN.
Reporter: KARINA WORKED
CLOSELY WITH HIM AFTER HE
SERVED WITH THE CHAIRMAN OF THE
BOARD FOR PREVENTING CHILD
ABUSE IN MINNESOTA. HE WOULD
SAY THAT THE CHILDREN ARE HIS
HEROES, AND THE SUSTAIN ALL OF
THIS AND STILL WORK ON FEELING
BETTER, AND NOT FILLING HER.
Reporter: WHEN HE JOINED THE
BIKERS AGAINST CHILD ABUSE, HE
FOUND ANOTHER WAY TO HELP THE
KIDS, DRESSED IN BLACK LEATHER
ESCORTING THE CHILDREN TO THE
COURT HEARINGS WHERE THEY HAD
TO TESTIFY, OFTEN IN THE
PRESENCE OF THE PERPETRATOR.
THEY ALL SAT THERE IN THAT
COURTROOM TO SUPPORT THAT CHILD
AND LETTING THEM KNOW THEY'RE
DOING AN AWESOME JOB.
Reporter: DOC WAS A DAD, AND
HIS SON GREGORY SHOWED US HIS
HARLEY IN THE SPORTS CAR HE
PURCHASED SO THAT HE AND HIS
WIFE COULD TAKE LONG ROAD
TRIPS. Reporter: IT APPEARS
YOUR FAMILY, YOUR PARENTS LIKE
TO HAVE FUN.
THAT IS ONE THING YES, AND
HE WANTED TO GO ON TRIPS AND DO
THINGS, TREAT OURSELVES BECAUSE
WE DESERVE THAT.
Reporter: WHAT IS THIS LIKE
GROWING UP BEING IN A HOUSEHOLD
WHERE YOUR DAD IS A
PSYCHOLOGIST?
I COULD NOT GET AWAY WITH
ANYTHING.
I THOUGHT I WAS SMART BUT HE
WAS SMARTER.
HE HAS THAT ROUGH EXTERIOR, AND
HE MAY WEAR BLACK, HAVE A
GOATEE AND A ROUGH LOOK, BUT HE
WAS A TEDDY BEAR, HE WAS A DAD
FIRST.
THE FAMILY SAYS THAT HE WAS
ALSO AN ADVOCATE FOR VETERANS,
PUSHING FOR BETTER MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES FOR THE
VETERANS, AND HE SERVED IN THE
AIR FORCE DURING VIETNAM, AND
HE WAS 69 YEARS OLD WHEN HE HAD
A HEART ATTACK AND DIED LAST
WEEK HERE
