I still think about Charles so often. He was such a big help to me when my mom passed away almost 9 years ago. I really don't know what I would have done without him. There are still times that I want to call him and talk to him. He was an inspiration to me in my grief.

I still miss Charles very much. He was my rock when my mom was sick. We would share many long talks about her illness. There is no way I could have planned her funeral without him. Even after I moved away I would still call him to check on him and he continued to be a big help to me. He was a very special and caring man of God. Praying for the family during this sad anniversary.

I have fond memories of Dr. Wood while I was one of his students at SWVCTC. He was a great teacher that could captivate his students with his words. In 1995 and 1996 he taught me Psychology and The New Testament. Without a doubt, he was the best teacher(professor) at the college. He was truly missed when he left Logan. Precious memories how they linger.

Dr Wood's was the director at a facility i was in one time. He was such a compassionate man who truly cared about the people he was trying to help. I've often thought of him, and remembered our conversations. This was honestly great man who I'm sure will be missed by many!!

Dr. Charles was truly a rarity in this world. The man had so much character that it almost seemed as if his life was written for an Oscar winning show. I'll always remember him as one of the few teachers I've ever had who actually made me want to learn; one of the first people I ever met that represented what a respectable person looks like. Very humble.

Dr. Wood was an iconic figure of sorts during his 20+ year tenure in Logan, WV. You became a better person for having known him.

I have such wonderful memories with Dr. Wood on our missionary trips to Honduras and Russia. He was a terrific leader and I learned so much from his guidance which greatly impacted my life. Condolences to the family and friends during this time of sorrow. He was definitely one of a kind

I am so devastated to learn this. Charles was my backbone when my mom passed almost 4 yrs ago. He would come to visit her and bring communion to her on a regular basis. He also helped me plan her funeral and was responsible for many donations to help me pay for it. He has been on my mind alot lately. Thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Dr. Wood was such a dear, gentle man. I was blessed to work with him at Strasburg High School. All of his students loved and respected him, as did the staff. He greeted everyone with a smile every day.
