Elwood "Woody" McBride

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. McBride, thank you for being a wonderful teacher. May God Bless You. I had him for a business class. Class of 1963 Peggy Maynard Romero

I WAS A 1966 GRAD. OF MANUAL AND REMBER HIM WELL COACHING BASKETBALL. I WAS IN R.O.T.C. SO I WAS AT MUST OF ALL GAMES. GREAT COACH AND PERSON. A FINE MANUAL H.S. FAMILY MEMBER.

I just learned of my dear cousin's passing from the Indy Star! Our lives didn't cross much, however, I had the pleasure of playing a round of golf with him a couple of years ago! Thank you for that opportunity and I will carry those memories with me!! My Mother always spoke highly of Woody and with my connection to the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, I know he was reverend in that sport! Most of all Woody was a man of God all through his life, so our family will reconnect with him some...

I remember the even tempered enthusiasm that he coached with at basketball camps. Such a good coaching role model and man. If the measure of a parent is the children that they raise, then Woody and Gerri excelled there, as all the kids are some of the finest people to pass through my life. I wish the family many wonderful memories of a life so well lived!

Wonderful memories of Woody! Our heartfelt condolences to his family! You are in our thoughts and prayers!

The best teacher and coach I ever knew.

To the McBride family.
I'm sorry to hear about the passing of Mr McBride. I remember him doing my years at Manual. He would come out and play basketball with us before we started practicing. I will always cherish those memories. I bought a Lincoln mks a few years ago. And the name on the old title was Elwood McBride I often wondered was this his car. Family we appreciate and respected Mr McBride. And won't you all to know the family is in my prayers.
May God Bless You All

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
