George J. Woons

George and I shared many memories together over the years. He was a valued, knowledgeable advisor and a great fisherman and hunting partner. His loss makes the world a little darker. He was a valued friend. RIP, George.

George was a great friend and accomplished colleague. We spent many an hour "discussing" educational and political issues. George loved fishing at my "camp" on Lake Erie along with two of our other mutual friends. George stayed in contact through these many retirement years. Great gentlemen who I shall miss dearly. Deepest sympathy to the Woon's family.

GEORGE WAS A GREAT HUNTING PARTNER AND FRIEND. AS A FELLOW SUPERINTENDENT I WILL MISS HIM.

Our condolences to Bev and family: George and I had many great hunting and fishing experiences in the beautiful Iron River area. We laughed a lot sitting around the campfire cooking woodcock and grouse. We hunted around Kent and Lake counties. George loved his dogs and had a gentle heart.

Cathy and I are so sorry for your loss. I have so many memories of Dr So one and spending lots of time at the Woons household. He always had that sly little grin when he told a joke. He was tough and carried high expectations of those around him. But he was fair. A truly nice and wonderful man who carried himself with class and style, even while staying true to this small town UP roots and values. He will be missed but also remembered.

Thank you Dr. W for all of your kindness and caring. Blessings to your family and my friend George.

We send our sympathy to all of George's family. Good memories from the neighborhood. Frank & Lois Duiven
