I remembered Pat well as soon as I saw his picture age does not affect some people, I'm 71 now and don't look as good as he does. Pat was someone I will always remember and miss.

I remember being in awe walking into my 7th grade English class to find my teacher was Mr. Woods! He was an athletic legend to me, having watched him play for the Allies. He was an amazing teacher; always encouraging the best from his students. As a young adult, our paths crossed again and we forged a friendship that spanned several decades. I am a better man for having known Pat Woods. Love to Bonnie, James, Patty and Abby.

Pat was not just a great guy, he was a great Holyoker. His sharp wit and pleasant disposition made him simply a nice guy to know.
Our whole community is lessened by this loss.
