Not sure what to say?

Dennis and family,
I am truly sorry for your loss of such a great man, husband, father and grandfather. I have had the pleasure of not only working with Dennis, but with Woody or "Griff" as he liked to go by at the time. I have some fond memories working with him and got to know him for the brief time we worked together. He was a beautiful soul and great person to be around every day.

Becky and Dennis,
So sorry to hear about tne passing of Mr. Woody. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers

Wilbur, you were such a great leader and friend in the National Guard. You loved your country and it showed by your leadership. I enjoyed the years that we spent together in the Guard. I respected you as our leader and as a friend. I can truly say I have never heard anyone say that they did not like or respect you, that is an accomplishment not many can hold. You will be missed by all that you have touched in your life. We love you. My condolences to all of the family.

Woody was one of the nicest, most genuine men I've ever known. Jackie was indeed a lucky lady to have married and been loved by him. His kindness to everyone was exemplary of his faith. My sincere condolences to all of the family. Jackie and Woody are together again, forever.

Rebecca, Dennis and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Griff I always considered a friend, a mentor. During my career in the National Guard Wilbur D was always there to provide guidance and support. He loved to play the game and sit around and laugh about it. He truly was one of the best ones.Rest in peace my friend, and that is the fact jack. God bless

I a so sorry for your loss. Griff will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences to the family.

Well, my dear friend, you truly will be missed. You took life by the horns and you truly led by example. I remember the day that you made Captain. I, myself at that time , a young Spec 4 working long hours at the armory with you, as a company commander so dedicated to our readiness status... to be ready for the call if it ever happened. Thank you so much for being there as a role model and a friend. As you used to say, my dear friend, "That's the fact, Jack!" Love ya, brother, ...
