To the Dickinsons - 
Just learned of Woods passing, so sorry to learn of it. Wood and his lovely bride were dedicated customers of a bookstore in Overland Park, often stopping by on Sundays.  Some of our favorite people, always polite, friendly, engaged.  Treated everyone on staff with genteel consideration, regardless of their title.
World is a better place for his role in it.    We bid you peace.

Dear Patti and family,
Sending you our deepest condolences on the loss of Wood-your sweetheart husband and loving father. We remember him for the gregarious, genial, and generous soul he was to us and Jen. So many deep memories! Wishing you peace and strength on your grief journey. 
Thinking of you all.
Laurie, Darrell and Jen Franklin

My heart-felt condolences Patti for your loss.

Dear Patti and family,

I was saddened to read of Wood's passing in the newspaper on Sunday.   I was a babysitter for your family for about two years, starting when Kathleen was four weeks old.   I have good memories of those years.  Wood was always a quiet, kind and caring presence with his children.  

May he rest in peace.

I only worked with Wood briefly during his time as the Pioneer Trails District Cub Roundtable Commissioner, but I was impressed with his passion, precision and commitment to the youth of our district. Wood's love of Scouting was clearly just the tip of a multidimensional life that surely brought comfort and joy to his family, friends, collaborators and co-workers. May he rest in eternal peace.

My sincere condolences to the family.  I knew Wood from Knights of Columbus and I enjoyed the time spent with him talking about movies, politics, literature and child rearing.   A fine man who will be missed by many. 

Sorry for your loss.  My heart goes out to the family. He was so proud of all of you.  I enjoyed my years working for him. He will be deeply missed.
 Prayers for all. Diana

Please know my prayers and thoughts are with your family.  All those years ago at Highlands elementary it was such a privilege to work with your family.  Denise Bohon

Sincere condolences to the entire family.  Wood was a friend and a true gentleman.  One of my many memories is when we were selected to officiate at the girls basketball games.  Neither of us knew all the rules, but we always managed to keep the games going with humor and grace.  

My sincere condolences.  Wood was a great boss who allowed me the freedom to promote and market my theatre  at the highest level.  You will be missed, sir.


Know of my prayers prayers Patti and children.  One of our monks offered mass for wood this past Monday. Know of our continued prayers for Wood and the Dickinson family +

Wood always had a friendly smile and wave when we would see him at church.    He was generous with his time and will be greatly missed 

Condolences from the Deeter family.  Wood and I shared a connection in Scouting, beyond my employment with Dickinson Theatres and his leadership in the 7 Habits continues to influence my life.

I was so sorry to hear about Wood's passing, and am sending prayers and condolences to the family.  A special hug to Patti and Margaret.  I'll remember Wood's inquisitive, adventurous spirit, and willingness to help out with whatever at Guardian Angels Parish.

You left your mark, Wood, and will be remembered and missed.

He changed my life FOREVER!!!!   That is the most solid and true statement I can make about anyone, after living for 58 years of my life.   Thank you, Wood! You believed in me and showed me a vision....  He never gave me money or a hand out.  He introduced to me the the 7 Habits material.  And to this day this continues to bless my life in SO many ways!   THANK YOU!!!!!  It's people like you that have a vision....that keep our faith alive our humanity!  

Sending sincere condolences to the entire Dickinson family. It’s been many years since we worked together in that old Dickinson office but he was always very kind and many fond memories remain for those of us who were privileged to work for him. 

Sorry for your loss - we will be praying for the family.  
The Landes Family

I am so sorry to hear about Wood. He was a wonderful boss and a great person.  I know he will be greatly missed. My condolences to the family.

I was so sorry to hear this. I have great memories of both Wood and Patti at Guardian Angels. You guys are both "one of a kind". He will be greatly missed.

So very sorry to hear of Woods passing.
He will be remembered fondly by the Hartley family and many associates in the movie theatre industry.
Our prayers are with him and his family 
John Hartley 

I've only know Wood for about four years. He served with me as a commissioner at Camp Naish. We became friends from day one and I could tell he truly lived up to the Scout Oath and Law.
He will be missed by me and many at Naish.
