Not sure what to say?

I send my condolences to the Woodwyk family on the death of Jim. We are cousins from the Zwart side of the family. Jim and I have not seen each other in years. It would probably be at Aunt Mina's funeral.

Dave Zwart

Remembering the days that we wore younger men’s clothes and played our neighborhood basketball games after dinner down at the DeVries’ court along with the Koster boys.
Will pray God’s comfort for your family!

Uncle Jim will be missed soooo much. We all loved him ! He will forever be in our hearts . Praying for healing and comfort for his family.

Jim was dearly loved by so many. He was a kind and gentle man. I noticed at family gatherings as everyone came they just had to make their way to see Jim. Whoever it was they would talk to Jim and laughter always followed. His grandson Everett loved him dearly he would say "I want to see Gampa Jim" or "Gampa Woody" . When they saw each other Jim would say "Their's my little buddy" and Everett would run and climb on Jim and cuddle and then start to giggle at something Jim said or did ....

May you have God’s speed to your glory in Heaven

God bless this man and hold him forever

So sorry to hear of Woody's passing, Praying for his family at this time. I used to sit with him at breakfast coffee at New Beginning's for years before I moved up north. He will be missed.
