To the family of John Woolsey,
I had the pleasure of meeting and work with John back in 1971 or 1972 and quickly learned they come no better than John. He was a hard worker and dedicated family man. He and his wife as well as kids will always have a place in my heart. My door and home will always be open to his family. Till we meet again old friend, and we will see each other again, rest in peace.
Warren and Mary Daggs

John was a very kind person. He loved to talk about his family. He loved them so very much. He enjoyed living in the country and spoke about his home often. He loved jokes and always had a new joke to tell me when I saw him. To the family, you were blessed and he will be sadly missed.
