Woody was one of the good guys.  Met him at Grant Jr High. Different circles in high school, but considered him a friend. RIP Woody.

What a nice guy,  always enjoyed his good nature and  sunny disposition. Played sports with him at Grant and MHS.

 Condolences to the family, I totally agree with David T, Woody was one of the good guys.

Woody was a decent and likable person from the minute I meet him in 10th grade all the way through HS.  May he rest in Pease and I pray for comfort and strength for his family and friends.  I really cannot recall anybody that didn't like him.  Rusty

Woody was as nice a guy as I could imagine.  Very friendly and always humble, as I recall.  May he rest in peace.
