He was a long time resident of Tucson. Woody had a long illness and retired from work in 1992. Before he retired he was a computer technician, and after retirement computers were his love after family. He always made himself available to any of his 'computer buddies' that needed his help. Woody was very proud of being a veteran. He was a devoted family man, and will be missed by each and every one that knew him. He 'had a special way of doing things, ' and his family loved him for that, and will miss him so very much. It's so hard to put into words how wonderful, caring, generous, and just plain good this man was. He was very sentimental and thoughtful. No words can express these feelings adequately. If you knew him you know what a special guy he was. If you didn't know Woody, you missed knowing a truly great man. Life will never be the same without him for anyone who knew him.
