JAMES E. WOODS

When I think of Jim, I can't help but remember a time at the house at Tri-Lakes. Jim came into the living room where we were all gathered one morning. He was scantily clad (i.e. underwear), and, after hearing a mortified yell from one of his daughters or his wife about having company, he said, "What? It's just Heather." I laughed. I felt like family, you know, just one of his girls. He was a bit of a pistol like that, and he had a hearty laugh and an infectious grin to go with that ornery...

I worked for Jim at Indiana wire die. O the fun times we had there. He was such a nice guy, He used to sponser my son racing. He and Marilyn used to come every weekend to watch him race. He was always coming up with something crazy to say.When Marilyn called me to tell me about Jim I just knew it was gonna be him pranking something.Wish it would have been.He will be missed by many.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to our family to give your condolences! The memorial service was just as Dad would have wanted it, fun with lots of laughter at Dad's many exploits. Dad was an amazing, generous, kind person who will be missed by so many--his daughters most especially! He was always so proud of us and supportive. We could not have had a better Dad.
