Richard B. Woodworth

Always a smile at SHS a very nice man.

Was shocked to learned of Mr. Woodworth's death as he was always so full of life. He was one of those rare teachers that all students loved and respected. Have thoroughly enjoyed reading the entries in this guestbook and learning of the impact he had on SOOO many. Truly not surprising. I can still picture him monitoring the halls of Stonington High decades ago. He was great at keeping the peace. Thanks for teaching us by example how to behave and treat others with kindness. Please accept my...

Dear Loving Woodworth Family & Friends,

Where do we get such men? Mr. Woodworth was one of the greatest men our community was privileged and honored to know. He served our great town in every way possible with strength, honor, commitment and love. The fine tribute in the Westerly Sun with heartfelt quotes from local soccer legends, and friends, Joe & Steve made me smile and I hope give you comfort. Praying God will show you His love through caring friends, comforting memories and...

Jeff and family,
Your dad was a special man; my thoughts and condolences are with you.

So Sorry for your loss. I was lucky enough to be one of his students in Mystic Middle School many years ago. I also had him for drivers training in high school. He devoted many hours to his students and was one of my favorite teachers. May he rest in peace.

Sorry for your loss Joan, I lost Dick 2 years ago, I know how you feel. Birdland was the place to live!? My sympathy to all.

So sorry to hear of Mr Woodworths passing. My condolences to the family. Mr Woodworth was my teacher at SHS, what a wonderful man. His reading of the school lunch menu every morning (his way) would wake us up. I also was blessed and honored to have had him teach me how to drive. Quite an experience for both him and me. Thanks Mr Woodworth, Rest In Peace.

Dick was a very special person. We worked together at JCPenney and he always exemplified the best. Sue, remember our shoe days? I am so sorry for your loss -- he was an exceptional man and we will miss him at the beach, where he was a reassuring presence. We would always come late, and he called us "the second shift."

We are so sorry for your loss, and for the loss to our community of an outstanding individual.
Marge and Dick Celico

To the Woodworth Family:
So sorry for the loss of your father/grandfather. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
