I am very sad to know that David passed away. He always cared about our family. I wish I could have visited him more. I am full of sympathy for Esther and his family.
With much love,

I am very saddened to hear of David's passing. My mother spoke often of him and his interest in the Wood family genealogy. Unfortunately, I don't recall ever meeting him, unless it was as a child. This past Spring, he was kind enough to contact me and we talked about my mother's side of the family several times by phone. He also sent me a couple of packages of family history. My mother, Blythe Wood Clark, was the daughter of Col. Thomas E. Wood. I had been hoping that my sister, Wendy Clark, and I could have visited him. My prayers are with his family and friends.

Remember Dr Wood well and his association with Dr Carl Hahn. Later joined by Dr Sylvester who died of diabetes and followed by Dr Pavluk who is still practicing in Westlake.
A good Dr from a different generation of caring, conservative times and rotary phones. Bless Dr Wood, he will be remembered well.
