Dear Ruth and Sean: I just learned of this sad and heartbreaking loss for you both. I am at a loss for the right words at such a time. Yours was and is the example of marriage, parenting, and living life to the fullest one could ever hope for. If there is anything I can do to help please do not hesitate to let me know. With love and best wishes for peace and comfort now, in your time of mourning. Respectfully, Dr. John Harrison.

Ruth, I belatedly heard about Woodies passing. I am saddened by your loss and cannot truly comprehend how you must feel. My heart goes out to you and Sean during this time of mourning. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask.

Ruth, I am so sad for your loss. woody was a great American.

Such a huge loss. I knew Woodie through his various volunteer activities, Church and Community. All of his conversations focused on his family and especially his pride in his son. I just cannot believe he is gone. It seemed every where I went I would see him, track, baseball, church, and even at my office, volunteering to help others with taxes. He will be missed.

I've only known Woodie for about 2 years. He became my rock, always there to help. I looked forward to our meetings after Mass on Sunday and the many breakfasts that followed. He made Shirley and I feel important and loved. His love for Ruth and Sean was evident. They always became a topic when he and I went out to lunch. We have lost a treasure. God Bless you Woodie. I have been blessed to have had you as a friend. Ruth, we are just a phone call away.

I wish I'd known him. Our prayers are with Ruth and her family. So sad.

So sorry to hear of his passing. We lost a great person and patriot. Jane Barton Weddington
