Sharon, Its been many years since I saw the both of you, too many in fact. Remember both you and Woody very well. I always enjoyed fishing off your peninsula when we were visiting my Uncle Frank from Chicago. I just learned NOW of his passing and its been 10 years! Woody was a super great guy! I know we've lost touch over the years but sure think of you both often and the great times in Dimondale... John & Brenda Vogel (The Late Donald & Jeanne Vogel's son)

Sharon, Jim and I were so sorry to hear about Bruce. There isn't a thing we can say to ease your pain. Bruce was so supportive when Dad was in the hospital-Dad talked about him often. Jim will miss talking about Cushmans with Bruce. Bruce was a wonderful person.

Dear Sharon and family,
I'm so sorry for your loss, Woody will be missed by all. About a month ago I had a nice visit with him in his office. We talked about local musicians we both knew from years ago and we talked about boats and he mentioned how much you and he enjoyed boating up North. I will be forever grateful to Woody (and Dan Marshall) for their support of our Mid-Michigan Youth Symphony. They sponsored our first Wharton Center Children's Concert in 2005 and have continued to support us in other ways since.

With Deepest Sympathy,

To the Woodhull family:

My deepest condolences. I had the pleasure of working with Woody over many years in my capacity as Dean of the College of Music at MSU. He was a wonderful person and professional of the highest integrity who worked hard to make a difference for others. The way in which he handled obstacles that came his way was a model for others. He facilitated the learning of many students at the College of Music over the years. I was grateful to have known him and have been grateful for his friendship. My thoughts and very best wishes are with your family at this time.

Sharon,
Jim and I are saddened by the loss of Woody. He was a great friend and we were privileged to know him. He touched many people in his lifetime. We will miss him. There are no words to comfort you at this time, just know your family and friends love and support you. Call us if we can help you in any way.

Dear Sharon

Yesterday, Bronnie called to tell me the news. It saddended me and it was clear that he was very upset. I know Woody had been through so much and am sure you were always by his side. Having been through two significant losses within the past two and a half years, I know that it will take time for you to grieve and weave his memory into your tapesty. My thoughts are with you.
