I’ll always remember Uncle Woody’s kindness and thoughtfulness to me and my family. I know God has called you home, Uncle Woody, but I will miss you!

I have very fond memories of Uncle Woody from very early on. I remember riding along to pick him up at the St. Louis Airport many a time when he was in town on business, and able to stay with us for a few days.
As a little girl, I was awestruck with Unlce Woody — he was so tall, always professionally dressed, and just a striking man, really. He had a way of including everyone in on the conversation/fun, and was a very kind, thoughtful, considerate man.
I also have fond memories of our family vacation in California, and the wonderful activities we enjoyed with Uncle Woody, Aunt Marilyn and our cousins. I remember what fun we had swimming in the pool and enjoying the hot tub.
I’m very thankful that both Uncle Woody and Aunt Sandy got a chance to visit us in our home and meet our daughter Jennifer when she was a baby. It was fun having them, and watching them interact with baby Jennifer.
Although we will all miss Uncle Woody terribly, I take comfort in the fact that he has his memory back and can reconnect with his mom and dad, his brother Walt, his wife Marilyn and his son Kenny.

We knew Woody and Marilyn, when they both worked at Remex, we bowled with them and played friendly cards games about twice a month at ate friends homes who worked at Remex.
We enjoy hearing from Woody and Marilyn each year with their Christmas cards and pictures of them with updates. Sandi and Phil

I was deeply saddened to learn about Woody’s passing. I know how difficult this must be for you. Wishing you God’s peace during this difficult and sad time. I know you will miss him, but knowing that he is now in Heaven must give you comfort. God bless you all. With sympathy and prayers.
