I worked for Jerry Woods for about 5 years. He is easily oneof the best men I've ever known, and I love him and his family dearly. He taught me so many lessons, and was always there for me not just as "boss," but also as a friend when i needed it. The Woods will always be my second family, and i will greatly miss him...I'll never forget the impact he made on my life, and I wish the best for his family through this trial. But I smile because I know that now he is truly spending "just another day in paradise."

My husband and I just returned from the Pell City Boat Show and were devastated to hear about Jerry. We met Jerry a few years ago at the marina and it felt like he had been an old friend forever. He was so kind and had such a sweetness about him. We always looked forward to seeing him at the boat show in Birmingham and Pell City and at the marina. We will truly miss him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Today we heard the sad news of Mr. Woods passing. We have known the marina family only a few years. He always greeted you by name even if you were not a frequent visitor. We wish to give our condolences to Diane and her family. God bless you in this time of grief.
May 19, 2017
I just heard the news as I was driving into my office today. I had to pull over because I became terribly ill hearing the news. I knew something was up because I have been trying to call the Marina for a couple of days and talk to Jerry. I literally feel like I have lost a family member and I am saddened to an unbelievable depth hearing the news.
I can't add to everything else I have read from people around the country about Jerry and Diana. All we can do is send our love and prayers to her and his wonderful family. Rest in peace buddy and hopefully we will see you some day in paradise. God bless the Woods family. Rosie and Steve Johnson Birmingham and Alpine

Jerry and I often shared thoughts about life and our families. He loved life, the marina and his family above all. He was one of the most caring men I have ever had the good fortune to know.

We were deeply saddened to hear of Jerry's passing. Since we met in 2009, I don't remember ever having a conversation with Jerry that I didn't enjoy. He and the entire Surfside Marina family always went out of their way to make us feel like their best and only customer. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. The lake simply will not be the same without him around. Diana, may you and your family soon reach the point where the joy of your happy memories outweighs the pain of your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist you and your family in any way.
