I knew Woody through his business and then later through Elks.
His smile and laugh made everyone smile.
I will miss you that.

You had a laugh that no one will never repeat. A smile that would make a bad day much better. A heart of gold that you would help anyone out. You sure will be missed by so many people. I thank you for the 49 years of our friendship. RIP my friend. Pat Ray

I´ll never forget that amazing smile of yours and those beautiful blue eyes and not to mention that gorgeous cowboy hat you always wore that made you look like a real cowboy. I enjoyed all of our lunches that we had together and just talking about hunting and other things in general, and how we always did that shot of crown at lunch. Thank you for always being my friend. You will be deeply missed by many my condolences to your family and all your employees, Palmer drywall will never be the same without you.
