The Dunagan's and Woo's were neighbors for 30 years. Mr. and Mrs. Woo led by example and helped steer all the Kingston kids in the right direction in the 70's and 80's. Their greatest achievement can be seen in their own adult children.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Mr. Woo. I knew Mr. Woo from a close aquaintance. Was a very nice man. My prayers are with the family. May our Heavenly Father and his word the Bible give you comfort and strength during this difficult time.

I met Mr Woo recently at the VA Hospital and assisted him. We talked of our friends in the Chinese Community and I enjoyed his companionship during the brief visit. I saw his quality and kindness. Blessings to his family at this time.
