I just learned of Woody's passing and wish I could've been at his wake and funeral mass.
My father and I had many cases with Woody over the years and he was always a tough opponent and strong advocate for his clients, but a gentlemen in the process.
My sincere condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

Words are inadequate to express the sadness I feel. My prayers are with all of the Lewis family. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. This is the end of his life but not of the relationship he has with all of you. There are many wonderful memories that will sustain all of us until we meet again in a better place.
