Millie and Family; I sent a message (a long one) and it wasn't published. Sorry to read about Woody's passing. The photo of him is what I remember him doing. Smiling and laughing a lot. Hope to see you and the family next summer. Keep in touch.

Mille and family, we're sorry for your loss of Woody. May God be with you during this time. We both remember his great,dry sense of humor when we visited you over the years. When Patrick was driving for his dad, they had great times running together. He was a very respected friend of Pat's.

Millie and family, may God bless you with His comfort in Your time of need. Its probably been forty years since the last time I have seen any of you. I remember how I enjoyed Woody as we drove the same route from Dillon to California. My wife Sue remembers Woody's dad Tiny as she grew up in Charlo. It is a time like this that family is so very important. May God be with all of you.
