My sincere condolences to Cathy and family. Woody was a valued friend having known him from younger days in the Mayflower through retirement years. He was a special person who always was the first to help anyone in trouble or need. A man of the highest moral character and fairness. Woody will be missed by all who had the pleasure to know him.

Woody was an amazing man! Worked with him a few summers in my father´s radon business! Always an awesome soul to be around. He had a huge personality mixed with old school values and a hard work ethic. He believed in doing things right the first time. R.I.P Woody we will meet again someday. My prayers and condolences go out to Woody, his family, and his many friends.
