I am sad to learn of Woody's passing last August. Woody and I dated for 6 years in the 80's. I liked to call him Gordon, and he seemed ok with it. He was a gentle, loving man with a fun sense of humor. He was always welcoming with my young daughter, and we took several trips with her. I enjoyed meeting David and Linda, but we didn't spend much time with them.  
I was surprised and delighted to see a photo of Woody and me in the movie tribute. The sadness of his death is quickly overshadowed by fond memories. Peace be with his family.

Woody was my uncle. He was my mom’s sister’s husband. My aunt passed decades ago and I lost touch with Woody but I still cherish the memories of being with them when I was a child (north of Chicago). When I would spend the night at their house, we would stay up late and watch Creature Feature and Monty Python.

I am so so sad..I truly loved Woody and his entire family..my heart is breaking. 
I would love to hear from Linda or David. My e mail is ginnyvw63@gmail.com

I am in total shock..i was Woodys sister in law..i was just looking up on the internet to see If I could find I Woody and reconnect.

I was stunned to hear Woody died.  I reconnected with him years ago after a high school reunion.  I must say I found him so smart and funny who wouldn't want to hang out with him?! I will remember how much fun he was to talk to and surprised at how self deprecating he could be when he was so creative in his thinking and humor.    This is very sad.  I am sorry I lost touch with him.

Woody and I shared a lot of joy growing up, from Harper, to Wilmette Jr. High. We had recently connected a few moths ago, we lost a good one. RIP

Woody was the "Pride of Kenilworth Gardens".  Boys loved him for his athleticism and girls loved him for being such a cutie.  We all loved him for his quiet, shy,  yet sweet and kind nature.  I'll always treasure the memories of childhood friends.  Peace and prayers to Linds, David and their families.

I was fortunate to know Woody from Harper School through Howard and New Trier and then later, during the 90's when we reconnected for a period of time. Woody was a wonderful person--genuine and compassionate--and a terrific wit.  I am grateful for our friendship and the support he offered me during trying times. My heart goes out to Linda, David, their families and all who knew and loved him.

Woody was quite the NT handsome boy. Sorry I hadn’t seen him in years. Remember the years with he and Valerie so well. He will be missed, but remembered for his kindness. May peace be with your family. So very sad. 

Oh my so many memories...
Growing up on Thornwood and Greenwood with all the neighborhood kids happily playing outside together (love kick-the-can!)...we all had silly nicknames for each other. Fun times at Harper School, Howard and NewTrier. One particular memory is watching the 3 Stooges with Linda and Woody...lots of laughs! Being one of Linda’s best friends growing up meant our families enjoyed so many good times together. I cherish all those memories! After college I moved away but always stayed in touch through Linda. Some years ago I reconnected  with Woody and was able to help him design his new kitchen...so much fun!   

Prayers and love to Linda, David and their families. 

Woody was a very classy guy. I very much enjoyed playing sports with him and being his friend. We had a connection through our fathers, they were fraternity brothers. We reconnected in recent years. I’m very proud to have had Woody as a friend. We will miss him very much. He is with God now.  Vic Walker 

We had some great times during our years in the golf business. Rest in peace Woody.

It was a blessing reconnecting with Woody a few years ago. We had many 
memorable breakfasts together catching up on both our times from Harper grade school to New Trier and all the way through Trinity University including the ups and downs. We all wish we had “more time “ but I will fondly think of our knowing each other and sharing the moments we remembered together over an almost 65 year span. Rest In Peace my 
friend ....Scott
Thoughts and prayers are with David , Linda , their families as well as all those close to Woody

So long my good friend. The four years at Trinity University were the best years of our lives. We grew up there. Many, many good times and memories. I'll miss you Woody. Rest in Peace. Tim

So, so sad to hear of Woody's passing.  We go back a long, long way to Thornwood Avenue, Harper School, Howard, and NTHS.  Woody figures in many of my childhood memories.  We lived across the street from each other and were in the same class  throughout primary school.  But, what I remember best are the summer games of kick-the-can and capture-the-flag that our neighborhood gang played all summer long.  Fierce skirmishes filled with laughter and the occasional war wound.  Woody was a great competitor, but always made time to coach the younger kids.  He was an "old soul," I think.  Rest easy old friend, 

Great guy always interested in other people he will be missed 

Woody was in my class at New Trier.  He was such a nice guy. Peace be with him. 

Woody was a classmate of mine at New Trier where we shared many memories together. He will be missed by all who knew him. R.I.P. Woody.
