Sincere condolences. Life is never long enough, and the years pass quickly, leaving only memories. I hope the fine memories of Woodrow will forever warm your hearts and bring smiles to your faces. May it comfort you to know that death was never God’s plan (Gen.1:28; Rom. 5:12; Rev.21:4) and loved ones will be resurrected (Acts 24:15) with the hope of life forever on a paradise earth (Ps. 37:11,29) as God intended from the beginning. Until then, a fine man rests in God’s loving care.

I am shocked to see Woody passed away. He was a great friend and I always liked talking to him wherever we met. We talked about cars we had and how we would meet up on the Iverson Road by Tioga and visit for a hour or so. I worked in the oilfield and we would run into each other on the Iverson Road or once in a while when I was going through Plentywood Montana. He was a very pleasant man to talk to and reminisce about the times we had in Williston. I hope he rests in Peace and is without any pain. We lost a good friend.
