Memories and Condolences

My sincere condolences to all for your loss of Roy. I spent the summer of 68 with grandma and grandpa, and with all my uncles, all called "Woody" living at the house. That summer is all I have in memory of Uncle Roy, but I do remember having fun with him, driving in the lot next door and swimming in the pool.

Dear Roy,
Our friendship went back along time. We were friends from highschool, when you drew pictures of road runners and behind the teachers back threw them to my desk. I'll never forget our trips to Santa Fe and San Antonio to visit you and Cole. I also remember our shopping trips to get Cole his Christmas presents. The one year he was so excited Barry bought him the scooter and a robot he wanted. It was strange seeing him ride it up the sidewalk in December. Of course that was the year of the ice storm in San Antonio. I'm sad you are gone but relieved that you are now at peace and out of pain. Thanks for all the laughs and votes of confidence that someday I will get all my gazillion sewing projects done, that is if on a daily basis I don't add more to it. I love you, and always will. I'll never forget you used to call me on my birthday and say how much older I am than you. God Bless you for eternity.

Most of my memories of Roy are from the 70’s, when the best thing about Disco bars was Ladies Night. I don’t ever remember him without a smile on his face and an idea in his head, ready for anything (including streaking, now that I recall). He was a terrible influence on me—and we had a blast!
Cole, I haven’t seen you since you were just born but what a pleasure to meet you again. You were most gracious, a true gentleman. You are your Dad’s legacy and definitely make him proud. Well done, Roy.

Dear Uncle Roy,
As a child I remember you were always laughing and joking, so much fun to be around. Thoughts of you always bring a smile to my face. We hadn't seen each other in many years until October of 2006 when my parents and I came up to Hamburg. I'm so happy that we were able to reconnect a little bit that day. No one ever knows the last time they will see a loved one... I'm forever thankful that I was given that chance to say I love you. I take comfort in knowing you are resting peacefully now. My love and prayers go out to the entire Woodworth family.
Your niece,
Laura Beth

My sincere condolences to the entire Woodworth family. I have very fond memories of "Little Woody" and was very glad to see him again this summer after many years. It is very comforting to know his Dad & Mom along with my grandparents will be there to greet him. My thought and prayers are with all.

It was a blessing marrying into the Woodworth family. From the first time I met Uncle Roy he treated me as true family. I will never forget his smile. I will miss bringing him his coffee everyday from Tim Hortons!! I am very lucky to have known him and loved him. I know that he is at peace now and that fills my heart with warmth even though I am so sad that he won't be sitting in his chair anymore when I go over Woody's.
Cole losing your dad is something that is going to be very hard for along time. Know that he loved you and was so proud of you. Everytime he talked about you his eyes lit up. You will always have a home here. We love you.

Dear uncle Roy, where do I begin? God gave me the pleasure of being able to take care of you the past year, we spend many nights crying together and watching our shows(greys anatomy and more) hahaha. You supported me in all my decisions and loved me so much. I will never forget you thanking me for the best Christmas you have had in years!I love You Uncle Roy and I know God will take care of you.... The kids miss you but they know you are with Jesus. We will continue to pray to you.
Cole, I made a promise to your dad that he will never forget, I told him I will always make sure you have a place to call home! I dont just mean it because I made a promise Cole, I mean it because I love you and you are a part of my house and without you it is lonely at the dinner table. The kids adore you and I wouldnt want it any other way. We Love You!

To all of the siblings of Uncle Roy,
I didn't get to spend alot of time with Uncle Roy, but the time I did get was precious.He had much fun describing the trouble you all used to get in. How Grandpa and especially Grandma used to handle some of the "situations." You all will have many memories to cherish!! I was given the gift to spend his last moments with him. He was brave, his pain was diminished and he was very much at peace. I will love and remember him always.
Uncle Barry and Aunt Becky,
It was very generous and loving for you to help with all you have. We are all fortunate to have you as our family.
Cole,
Your dad was a free spirit and a wonderful person. He loved you more than anything. He had every right to be proud of you. Know that you always have family to help you with whatever you need. You have a bright future and I know you will be a fine man just like your father.
Love,
Tammy,Russ,Shauna and Amanda

Dear Barry, Becky and the entire loving Woodworth family, please accept my heartbroken condolences on your loss of Roy. I know you will all miss him dearly. I have many laughable memories of Roy and me "going out" with two bucks and his skills at pool to have a blast. Those memories and many others still bring a smile to my face. He was the best. You're all in my heart and prayers.

Uncle Roy,
You made me feel so special! I cannot say that about many people. For that I will miss you so very deeply. I know that you are with Gram and Pops, so I know you'll be okay now. There is so much to say, but I'll say it all a little at time. Every night before I go to bed, you'll be able to hear what I need to say. You did a fantastic job of raising a terrific young man. I hope I can do as good a job. I love you so much and will miss you every day of my life. Until we meet again!
Your skinny red-headed niece,

To Uncle Barry and Aunt Becky: We feel heartfelt sympathy for the pain that you and Uncle Roy had/have to go through. Just know that you made his departure with this world a good one and he is now pain free and in a better place.
To Cole: Your dad had the satisfaction of knowing what a great young man you are. His eyes lit up when he spoke of your future and it was obvious he was at peace where you are concerned. He was very proud of you and he will always be with you in your heart.
Love,

Barry and Family,
I just want you to know that (little)Woody was one of my dearest friends. I did get to see him the last time I was back in NY and true to Woody's nature he fought as hard as he could to beat this.
Cole,
Your Dad was one hell of a guy and maybe some day if we meet I'll be able to tell you some real interesting stories. Woody made a lot of friends in this world and I am just one that will remember him and it will always bring a smile to my face. You have my sincere condolences.

Woodworth Family: I want to let you all know Nancy and I have you in our prayers, during this sad time. It certainly is a meaningful loss, and although we didn't see much of Roy, just knowing he was a part of your family,and is now gone, understand the feeings you all have in his absence. It may sound trite, but he IS in a better place and healthy once again. God bless u all.
