Dear Mrs, Woody, I just got your christmas card and you indicated Mr, Woody had passed away. I'm so sorry to hear that. I know we don't stay in touch but the thoughts, prayers and feelings were/are as strong they always have been through the years. Mr. Woody was/is has always been my special mentor. He taught me how to drive a stick shift when the store was on hickman mills dr. He would tape wood blocks to the pedals and get out of the way. lol - I truly loved Mr. Woody and I certainly would have been there to send him off if I would of known. I'm so very sorry for your loss and I will miss him. I pray you will receive the strength and peace from this sad event in life. God Bless you. Steve Keller

Uncle Ronnie will be missed by so many family and friends. He was such a fun great uncle to me and sisters. I have many fond memories of him joking around with us. He had a lot of spunk and was always happy.
Lots of love and condolences to his family and friends during this time.

I was lucky enough to be gifted with Maxi as my fourth sister, and along with that all of her beautiful family. Sitting talking to Ron drinking a couple of beers at family functions was always a delight - a great person to just sit and hang out with. My deepest condolences to the entire family - he loved all of you most and more.

So sorry to hear of Woody's passing. I have always thought of him as my "first love", He was a Senior and I was a freshman at Raytown, we dated some. He was so sweet and shy. I will always think of him as my "first Love" Jean Campbell Greene class of '48
