John Cameron Woodward Jr.

Ginny, Nancy and John
Your father was a gem. I consider it my honor to have known him my whole life. Lucky for all of us our parents knew how to hold onto their friends. I send him bowls of peppermint ice cream into eternity

John Woodward hired me 26 years ago as an upstart young parts manager for his young dealership. After going through 2 interviews, my thoughts were 'I have got to get this job - this is the nicest man I've ever met!'. I couldn't have been more right, and I never wanted to work for anyone else. I can't think of anyone, in or out of this business, that had more integrity than Mr. Woodward. And he was always 'Mr. Woodward' to all of us at the store, not by his wishes, but because we all...

Ginny and family,
Your father was a kind and generous man. It was a pleasure to work with him at the Chamber. My deepest sympathy goes out to you.

It was a honor and pleasure to have known John. He was the genuine article, an honest person with a big heart and kind soul, something the world could use more of. He will be missed.

John Woodward and Jack W. Minor met through their work in the automotive industry and became lifelong friends. Over the years they met for golf and later lunch, meeting halfway between their respective homes in Ventura County and Orange County, no doubt enjoying recounting stories of their times with Lawrence Welk. Jack spoke often and warmly of John. What a pleasure it was for one of Jack's daughters to meet John at a USC event last year and be able to tell him what he had meant to her...

OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF MR. WOODWARD, IN THIS DIFFICULT TIME. HE WILL BE MISSED.

John,

Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family as you go through this very difficult time. John had a great sense of humor and was truely a classy gentleman. Having had the opportunity to work with John as a volunter at both Saint Patrick's Day School and Saint Patrick's Church was such a pleasure. He was so helpful and generous.
