Not sure what to say?

COL Woods was my boss and became my friend during the period he was the national director of marketing for the Army ROTC program. He was an extrodinary man and a great leader. Paul Kotakis

He was a Cpt and my Company Comander in Co C 4/6 infantry, Berlin Brigade in 1973/74. He was one hell of a Officer.. Saddens me to read of his passing. Prayers for his family. David B Jackson, Anniston Al..

Callie, I do not know if these words will find their way to you, I can only hope they do. I am the one who sold Alex the Jaguar several years ago. My husband and I now live in Bastrop, Tx. I only today learned about Alex, by seeing the article on the Washoe County School District web site, which I had accessed to locate a phone number for Alex, to ask for his help for my granddaughter who is thinking about a career in the military (she is a sophmore at Fernley High School). I told of...

I along with other Berlin veterans from Charlie Company as well as the 4th Battalion, 6th Infantry were saddened when we heard about the death of COL Woods. He was my first company commander in the Army. I became his driver and can attest that we had many great adventures together in both Germany and Italy. What a great man.

Callie and Family: Prayers and best thoughts are extended to you and the family. My time with Alex was at Eastern (on the court), ROTC and the Military. The memories will last for you as they will for those of us that played ball with him at Eastern. Peace be with you.

Callie,
I just want to say some words. I didn't get to meet Alex myself but I herd nothing but good words about him. Iam very sorry that he was taken from you. I just wanted to say thank you to me for what he did for me. He came to North Valleys and got me started in the JROTC. Through him I was happy that I joined that program. He told me that I was doning a good job and keep up the good work.

Dear Callie,
I only met Alex twice and wish I could have known him better. I will always remember the great time we had the night we went out to dinner with you and Alex. My thouhts and prayers are with you and wish you all the best in the future.
Love Laurie

A good man and friend. He will be truly missed.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.
