Woody grew up on an Iowa farm. After living in Iowa and Louisiana, he came to Texas where he painted houses for many years. He enjoyed horses, hunting, fishing, fine food, travel, country and classical music, good books, and great company. He loved Charlotte and missed her immensely.
We are especially grateful for the therapists and nursing staff at Crystal Creek who tended to him over this last year.
