He was born June 4, 1932, in Fairchance, Pennsylvania, to parents James Russell and Sarah “Sadie” (Walters) Woodward. Hank left school early and proudly joined the US Army, serving during the Korean War.
Hank was a member of St. Joseph Parish of Randolph, the Ravenna Eagles, Ravenna VFW, and the Rod and Gun Club. He loved the outdoors, especially when he was hunting or golfing. Many of his hunting trips brought him back home to Pennsylvania.
Hank had a long career with Wickes Lumber. His job required Hank to move his family several times through the years but managed to always make their dwelling a home and make friends with their new neighbors.
Hank was preceded in death by his parents, his beloved wife Cecilia Woodward, his son Charles R. Woodward, and his sisters Janet Springer and Faye White.
Hank is survived by his daughters: Beverly (Kevin) Steiner of Randolph, Janet Woodward of Kent, Linda Barrett of Kent, daughter-in-law Marianne Woodward of Cuyahoga Falls, his 7 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren, and his brother Jim Woodward.
