I offer my sincere condolences to Woody's wife and family. Woody was a great guy who always took time out to help me as a young guy with some of my first motorcycles before I could afford my first Harley and more help after I got my first Harley. It was always great to run into him at a local dealership or ride and he would always take time to say hello. I will never forget him. I am truly sorry for your loss.
