Edmund (“Ed”) Woods passed away peacefully in Santa Clara, California after a lengthy illness. He is now reunited with his beloved wife Barbara Gullo Woods. Ed and Barbara were married for 59 years.
Ed was born and raised in the Bay Area, attending St. Clare’s Elementary and Bellarmine College Prep, but moved out of state for college. Later he moved to Spencerport, New York where he and his wife lived for the last 50 years. Ed was a professor at The University of Rochester for many years and he also taught computer courses at the State University of New York, Brockport before fully retiring from teaching. After the passing of his wife he moved back to California to be closer to family.
Ed was loved and respected. He had an amazing intellect and a wonderful sense of humor.
He is survived by his sisters: Carmen Scholl (husband, Frank); Lucy Forest (husband, Bill); Nola Houston (husband, Brock); his sister-in-law MaryAnne Domenici; nieces and nephews; and great-nieces and great-nephews. Ed will be missed by family and friends.
The family asks in lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Disease in Edmund’s name.
