Woody graduated from Victoria High School and attended Victoria College. He served his country in the U.S. Army Reserves from 1968 – 1974. He opened and managed Woody’s Used Cars until his retirement. He enjoyed bowling and morning breakfast with friends. When you met Woody you never had to worry about carrying the conversation. He may not have always remembered your name but he could remember what kind of car or truck you drove.
