Our thoughts and prayers to the Woolfolk family. My husband and I were deeply saddened when we just got the news of Mr. Woolfolk's passing. My husband worked in the shop with him when my husband was a lance corporal. Mr. Woolfolk was one of his biggest supporters when my husband went to officer's training school. We are moving back to Quantico in a few months from Japan and seeing Mr. Woolfolk was going to be one of our highlights of returning there, now there will be a sadness as we return.

I met Charlie several years ago at his sister-in-law's house. He was such a charming and delightful person.



You could tell from Charlie's actions and the way he spoke of his family that they were the sun and stars of his existence.



May God's grace, mercy and love protect you and keep you strong during this time.

My deepest sympathy to the Woolfolk family.



I only knew Mr. Woolfolk for a short period of time, from the parking lot at First Mount Zion. My boys and I looked forward to every Sunday seeing Mr. Woolfolks’ smiling face. He would always give me a hug and give a personal heart felt greeting to all 7-8 of my boys. We will truly miss him.



Our prayers and thoughts go out to his wife and family during this difficult time.

Claudia, Deanna and Brian, and family and friends. May God grant you the peace, comfort, and strength that only He can give. Remember and cherish all those wonderful times with "Charlie", and look forward to seeing him again.



"Charlie" was so much fun the few times I was around the family--his wit and humor, and his antics during games. It was a pleasure to be around someone that made everyone present happy.



May God bless and comfort all of you.

Kevin and Meschelle Williams

February 22, 2006

In times like these the words from the familiar songs "Be Encouraged"and "Stand" come to mind.



Mr. Woolfolk was a fine example to me and my family as we've "grown up" through the years.



It is MEN like him who have allowed many young men to follow his example of how to be a MAN, a HUSBAND and, a FATHER.



We share in your loss of Mr W, and pray the Lords strengh for the entire family.



Mr. Woolfolk will truly be greatly missed.

We all depend on something or someone to "hold us up" inside. When that something or someone is "coming through for us," we experience a sense of peace, satisfaction, and hope for the future. Keep your trust in the One who can provide peace and comfort. Know that we feel the loss of Charlie. He was indeed a part of our family. We will miss him.

We would like to extend our deepest sympathies for your loss. As a young man I knew Douglas as Uncle Charles. He was great. I always drew on his strength as a family man and looked up to him. He and his family were role models for me as I grew up and envisioned having my own family. I liked being around him because he always made me laugh and he taught me a lot. I know that he is smiling and laughing in Heaven.



Love,

Sean, Michelle, Sean M. & Monchelle.

I came to know Doug when I first starting working at TMO because his office was down stairs. Doug was always upfront, pleasant and everyone could hear him talk once he spoke! I loved his personality and will miss him. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord! Your family has my deepest sympathy and may God be with you and comfort you for your lost during this time.
