I miss my uncle and am thankful that he was a part of my life . He was a kind and caring person and would do anything for a person. He served his country through major wars and had no regrets. I sure do miss my Uncle Woody.

I miss my uncle. He was always fun to be around and in his younger days he was really quit a character. He would always tickle you until you thought you would pass out from laughing so hard. He loved children and was a joy to his family.

I'm so sorry to hear that Uncle Woody passed away. I did not hear.
I remember Uncle Woody so well from when I was little.
I remember him visiting us in Ohio from Germany and we'd visit him and Grandma in Maryland and Georgia, along with Aunt Virgie later.
I'll always remember him giving me whisker burns and us laughing!
A also remember the last time we went to visit in 1975 YIKES! and he was so proud of his girls.
He was a fun and wonderful man and uncle.
Our deepest condolences to the family.
With all our love,
Jill and Jim Neu
on behalf of the Nagy Family.
