So Sorry to hear of Mr. Woolsey passing. He was a wonderful teacher. He was my 9th grade math teacher in Pineville. We had just moved there from Florida and I had never seen snow before. While in class it suddenly started snowing. I was looking out the window and shocked and delighted at what I was seeing. He let me go outside to experience it. It was wonderful. I remember the moment always with affection.

Coach Woolsey was a very motivated teacher and coach. He had the rare ability to put the students needs ahead of his own. Jeff Halsey PHS 1974

Coach Woolsey was one of my favorite coaches, teachers and principal. His passing has made this world a lesser place but his spirit will always be carried on in his players and students.

So sorry to hear of Ray's passing. He was my superintendent in Logan County. Prayers for the family.

My sincere condolences go out to the Woolsey family. I well remember Ray's tenure as Superintendent of Schools in Logan County, West Virginia. He always showed respect toward me as a member of the local news media and never sidestepped a question no matter how sensitive it might have been. I believe he coached Gilbert football for a short time as well.

I am so sad to hear of Mr. Woolsey's passing. I have such fond memories of him in high school at pineville high school. He was my math teacher in 9th grade. I remember one time when he let a student go outside when it snowed because she had never seen snow before. I thought that was so cool of him.
He was an awesome teacher.

Football Coach at Pineville High Scool was my fondest memory of Coach Woolsey from the chuckle when he laughed and the seriousness when he meant business on that ball bus to and from games. I was so fortunate to know he and later on his family and beautiful daughter Dawn, and son Brian through sport activities as they were growing up. Dawn and Brian and the Woolsey family you are in my thoughts and prayers.
