To the Woodson family I give my deepest condolences and prayers for the loss of my beloved nephew plookie I will always hold this presence in my heart we had such a special bond as one of his uncles and shared memories that he always remembered we had together when ever were able to talk bro each other. It was always Uncle Maurice remember when we use to to this and that only moments that maybe he never told anyone else about my love for him is just what a uncle expects from a nephew. I will truly miss you nephew but in passing time I will join you in the next phase of life. I love you all my family sorry I couldn't make the homecoming but my love heart and spirit is always with you. May your tears and sorry be brief may my nieces hold there heads up and make his farewell and tran isision unto the Lord a joyful occasion.

To my sister,Sheila and all of Plukie's family my condolences and prayers are with you. Plukie was truly one of a kind. Being the only boy out of 7 children he was my sister's greatest Mother's Day gift of 1970. May 9 that year was Mother's day.
Plukie was persistent in what he believed to be real. While visiting us in rural Ohio one year he saw our neighbor's overweight cat. He got excited and said he saw a raccoon in our yard. We could not convince him that it was just a cat. I guess he wanted the full "country experience" of seeing a"wild" animal. I will always remember Plukie and his backward no hands flips and many other tidbits of his life, many that will bring laughter to my heart. But those are the things to hold on to to keep him alive in my heart.
Family, remember, "Earth has no sorrow that heaven (God) cannot heal. My love to all, Aunt Tykie and Uncle Sherman (posthumously).

Love,

I met Stanley through my neice Brandy and they adored each other and was always dependent on each other. Stanley always called me Auntie Tracy. He was a very nice, easy- going guy. My condolences to his Mom and his entire family. Aunt Tracy Brandon MS

I hate that my husband and my daughters never got to meet my brother Plukie. I tried to to describe him the best I could but you'd just have to meet him to know what I'm talking about. Plukie was a character. He could make me laugh, mad and crazy all at the same time. He was a real cut up and liked to have fun. I lived and grew up in Ohio and when he came to visit, you knew he was a city boy visiting the country.. He'd have us in stitches laughing and boy did he think he was a ladies man back in the day. You know how it is, the new person in town and the attention. He loved that and it went to his head. I'd just laugh, you couldn't tell him nothing. He loved schooling the boys in basketball and then rubbing it in their faces. Letting them know the city boy was in town. I use to call him Sinbad and he called me Skelator, because I was so skinny back in the day. I wish that were the case still today. So those of you who knew Plukie know what I mean. He was a one of a kind and will be truly missed. Love you big brother.

Plukie, being your aunt was an adventure, you kept me on my toes you were always into something. One great thing was your relationship with Darrell and Marlon. You finally had male cousins to torture. I know the girls were happy to have the boys around, that freed them up from your shenanigans. Darrell and Marlon loved every moment being around you. You rubbed off on them (mostly the mischievous ideas) and they loved it all. Our Kitchen Conversations on 46th Street will always be on my mind, who knew you had such deep thoughts. Glad you felt comfortable sharing them with me. Your favorite Aunt (yes I said that) Bertlyn

Uncle Plukie always had an energy you gravitated to when he was around. He loved to be around us kids and was just a fun uncle all around. I will miss him dearly.

My cuzzn loved Bruce Lee, hooping, the ladies but most of all he loved doing things that people said couldn't be done. I first witnessed it at a younger age. My mother use to cut my hair, chili bowl fades, and he use to jive on her for my haircuts. She told him that he couldn't do no better. He proceeded and my cuzzn/ big brother, succeeded. He loved his family and showed it the Plukie way. Terrorizing all in the household. Ranging from hard learned lessons to making ya ribs hurt from laughter. He was just an ultimate memory making machine. My mother doubted him again about his drawing skills. I was thinking to myself, like ma you ain't seen his room?...HA! He had drew every rapper's name, from that era. Next thing I remember he drew on construction paper all the Hanna Barbara cartoon characters for a Locke School event. I don't remember the event but I remember my cuzzn/ big brother talking low under his breath saying she really think I can't draw. Lol!! He'll say take this to Auntie. I run to show her and by the time I get back to him he almost done with another one. You can't flip. He'll back flip the whole block in high top socks with a red curly afro...HA! I have mountains of great memories with my cuzzn/ brother. But I hated being in the driveway while he was dribbling the ball. "Darrell! Come take it from me." That memory was a hard lesson learned memory. But it manifested that same it can be done attitude in me. And for those lessons and memories I want to say thank you fam!! You are truly missed. Gone, but, never forgotten!! I love ya cuzzn/ big brother!!
Rest peacefully,
Darrell, Darrell
