ALBERT "DANNY" WOOLSON

WOOLSON, ALBERT "DANNY" 80 - of Little Egg Harbor Twp., died in his home Thanksgiving morning, Nov, 28, surrounded by his loved ones. Dan was born and raised in West Creek. He and his family moved to Maryland for a short time where he graduated in 1952 from the Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville Maryland. He then returned to West Creek and soon joined the U.S. Army. He was a Korean War Veteran. He later became an electrician and was a Senior Relay Technician for the Atlantic City Electric Company and worked in the historic '62 Storm on LBI. For the 37 years he worked for the electric company, he never took a sick day. He retired in 1993. He was a past member of the Tuckerton First Aid Squad, past Sachem and member of the Redman Lodge in Tuckerton and a trustee for the Tuckerton Historical Society. He was a member of the Speed Garvey Association where he raced "Flipper." He and his partner Mike Fischer had the boat live up to its name on many occasions. He was the go to guy for any electrical needs of his family and friends and was a jack of all trades until he suffered a stroke in 2005, which left him unable to speak. He also suffered from Parkinson's disease. Although he struggled through the last eight years of his life without being able to express himself, he remained our hero and never acted anything less than courageous as well as kind.
