Met Woody at Avalon Restaurant on Wednesday’s and enjoy talking about Submarines and Cowboys. He sure could dress up. So from one Vet to another, May your last Submarine ride be peaceful. I salute you my friend, until we meet again.
Dear Ruth, prayers and my condolences to you and your family. I remember Woody and you coming to the nephrologist office. Woody would bring the staff flowers. I thought of you often once I moved to Las Vegas. May God bless and keep you.
Dear Ruth and Tammy,
Woody leaves me with many fond memories. He always had such a fun loving spirit. He will be missed by many. My love goes out to your family.
Dear Tammy, Ruth and Leo and Sami,
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you all. Woody was one in a million! He always brightened the halls of Avon when he came to “help out”. No matter how long he lived it is never long enough. May he rest in peace. He is remembered fondly.
